i joined a billionaire's club



Here’s a question for you:

Would you accept $1 billion to trade lives with Warren Buffett?

You could have all the money in the world… but you’d also be 94 years old.

My guess is probably NO.

However, I’m pretty sure Warren Buffett wouldn’t hesitate for a second to give you all of his money to trade lives with you right now.

He would gladly pay billions to be your age again.

And given that the value of something is determined by what someone else is willing to pay for it…

That would technically make you a Time Billionaire.

Welcome to the club ;)

Your time is your most precious asset.

It’s a resource you can never buy back.

But how much of it do you waste?

  • Scrolling endlessly on social media?
  • Distracting yourself with things that don’t matter?
  • Comparing yourself to others?
  • Worrying about opinions of people who wouldn’t even show up for you in a crisis?

If Warren Buffett had your time, you can bet he wouldn’t be wasting it like that.

So here’s my Challenge for you:

For the next 24 hours, become hyper-aware of where your time goes.

  • Notice how often you reach for your phone.
  • Pay attention to how much time you spend in your head, worrying instead of doing.
  • Catch yourself when you say “I don’t have time” for the things that actually matter.

Because you do have time.

In fact, you’re a time billionaire.

Time to use it wisely and make it count.

Much love,
Alex

It’s something you might do without noticing. Something that slowly chips away at your self-confidence. Something that destroys your integrity and self-worth. It’s a silent but deadly enemy called: Breaking promises to yourself. Sound familiar? “I’ll get back to you on Friday” “Next year I’m going to start a business” “Tomorrow morning I’m going to the gym” Every time you say you’ll do something and you don’t: You slowly erode the relationship between you and your word. You slowly deteriorate...

There’s a particularly nasty group of viruses out there. Viruses that influence your thinking. They influence how you see the world. They influence your emotional state. They influence your general mood. They are everywhere yet no one is talking about them: Memetic viruses. Contagious beliefs that hijack your thinking. These thought-viruses can come from anywhere: The news, social media, your parents, friends, colleagues, teachers, even well-meaning mentors… And once they’re in your mind,...

This Monday I did a very powerful exercise. I made myself a cup of coffee, set a timer for 30 mins and started writing down all the lessons I would give my 29 year old self (just before he quit his corporate job). I then cleaned them up a bit so he could print them out and put them on his fridge. This was the final edit:1) Don’t ask people for advice who aren’t living the life you want to live. 2) “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t either way you are right” - drill this quote...
