In this video, we're going to be going through seven habits
Trong video này, chúng ta sẽ cùng tìm hiểu bảy thói quen đã giúp tôi kiếm được rất nhiều tiền khi tôi còn ở độ tuổi 20.
2
that made me a bunch of money when I was in my 20s.
Tất cả họ đều không khỏe mạnh theo cách này hay cách khác.
3
They were all unhealthy in one way or another.
Đúng vậy, đạt được tự do tài chính, kiếm được thật nhiều tiền và những thứ tương tự là rất tuyệt.
4
Yes, it's very good to become financially free and make all the money
Và điều quan trọng là phải có một cuộc sống cân bằng, đừng đánh đổi những thứ quan trọng hơn tiền bạc trên con đường đi đến thành công.
5
and stuff and it is also good to have a balanced life
Nhân tiện, nếu chúng ta chưa gặp nhau, xin chào, tôi tên là Ali.
6
and not be sacrificing the things that are more important than money en route to getting there.
Tôi là một bác sĩ đã trở thành doanh nhân.
7
Oh by the way if we haven't met yet, hello my name is Ali, I'm a doctor turned entrepreneur
Và trên kênh YouTube này, kể từ năm 2017, tôi đã ghi lại hành trình từ một sinh viên y khoa không có đồng nào, sau đó làm việc toàn thời gian với tư cách là bác sĩ, rồi trở thành một doanh nhân triệu phú đô la và tác giả của những cuốn sách bán chạy nhất.
8
and on this YouTube channel since 2017 I've been documenting the
Và mục tiêu của tôi với kênh này là ghi lại những bài học tôi đã học được và những bài học tôi đang tiếp tục học, một phần như một lời nhắc nhở cho bản thân, và cũng với hy vọng rằng bạn sẽ tìm thấy điều gì đó hữu ích trên hành trình xây dựng cuộc sống mà bạn yêu thích của riêng mình.
9
journey from being a broke ass medical student to then working
Được rồi, thói quen thứ nhất là cái mà tôi gọi là thói quen không có thời gian chết.
10
full -time as a doctor to then becoming a multi million dollar entrepreneur
11
and best -selling author and my goal with this channel is to document the lessons
Và tôi đã làm điều này nhiều năm rồi, đến mức khi tôi và vợ tôi mới hẹn hò cách đây nhiều năm, cô ấy gọi đó là chiếc chăn an toàn của tôi vì giống như một đứa trẻ, tôi phải mang theo chiếc chăn an toàn của mình đi khắp mọi nơi, nếu không tôi sẽ cảm thấy rất khó chịu.
12
that I've learned and the lessons I'm continuing to learn partly as a reminder for
Và lý do cho điều này là đặc biệt là khi tôi đang ở độ tuổi 20 và đang nỗ lực cực nhọc xây dựng doanh nghiệp của mình, tôi đã không cho phép bản thân có bất kỳ thời gian nghỉ ngơi nào.
13
useful on your own journey of building a life you love.
Bất cứ khi nào có một khoảng thời gian rảnh, hoặc trong những tình huống mà một người bình thường rất có thể sẽ lấy điện thoại ra và lướt Instagram, TikTok hay những thứ tương tự,
14
All right, habit number one is what I like to call the zero downtime habit.
Thay vào đó, tôi sẽ mở máy tính xách tay ra và cố gắng hoàn thành càng nhiều công việc càng tốt trong khoảng thời gian đó, gần như coi đó là một thử thách hay một trò chơi với bản thân, nơi tôi cố gắng tận dụng tối đa năng suất và hiệu quả từ những phút giây rảnh rỗi xen kẽ như vậy.
15
to this day.
Hầu như không có lúc nào tôi cho phép bản thân được nghỉ ngơi khi đang trong giai đoạn xây dựng doanh nghiệp.
16
I carry this laptop bag, this camera bag everywhere I go.
Lợi ích rõ ràng nhất của việc này là bạn thực sự sẽ có nhiều thời gian hơn để tập trung vào những thứ mà bạn muốn theo đuổi.
17
And I've been doing this for years, so much so to the point that when my wife and I started dating like many years ago, she referred to it as my safety blanket because like a child, I had to carry my safety blanket everywhere I went, otherwise I would feel weird.
Một người bạn của tôi, Matthew Dix, anh ấy là một nhà văn và một giáo viên tuyệt vời, và anh ấy kể câu chuyện rằng bất kể bạn đang cố gắng làm gì, có lẽ bạn không có quá nhiều thời gian rảnh để dành cho việc đó.
18
And the reason for this is that in particular, while I was in my 20s and grinding away on building my business, I would not allow myself to have any downtime.
đặc biệt là khi bạn đang có một công việc văn phòng toàn thời gian và đồng thời muốn bắt đầu một dự án kinh doanh tay trái, như xây dựng doanh nghiệp riêng hay viết sách hay bất cứ điều gì tương tự.
19
Anytime there was a spare moment
Và thực ra là, hãy tận dụng để nâng cao năng suất và hiệu quả từ những khoảng thời gian nhỏ nhoi rải rác trong suốt ngày, thay vì dùng thời gian đó để lướt mạng hay làm những việc vô ích.
20
or where a normal person more likely would take out their phone and like scroll Instagram or TikTok or whatever, I would instead bust out the laptop and I would try
lúc đó chỉ đơn thuần là thưởng thức hương vị của một cốc cà phê, thời điểm đó thực sự tạo ra sự khác biệt về mức độ tiến triển mà bạn có thể đạt được trong kinh doanh, và điều đó hoàn toàn đúng là như vậy.
21
that time and almost like play this as like a challenge
Cộng lại thì cũng như tất cả những thói quen trong video này, loại thói quen này đi kèm với một cái giá phải trả. Cái giá rõ ràng là bạn mất đi một phần cảm giác hiện diện, bạn mất đi cảm giác như đang nhảy vọt qua cuộc sống, và thực sự là khả năng dành một khoảnh khắc để nghỉ ngơi, suy ngẫm, và chỉ đơn giản là hiện diện trong khoảnh khắc hiện tại, cùng với những kết quả mà nó mang lại.
22
or a game with myself where I'm like squeezing out productivity
ít nhất là đối với tôi và khi nói chuyện với rất nhiều người bạn là doanh nhân của tôi, thì cuối cùng bạn lại rèn luyện được "cơ bắp" này đến mức mà thật sự rất khó để ngừng suy nghĩ.
23
and efficiency out of these like minutes of downtime here and there.
Bây giờ tôi phải đặt ra quy tắc cho bản thân, kiểu như là Ali, cậu không được phép làm việc vào cuối tuần đâu.
24
There was almost no moment that I gave myself
Và rồi tôi tìm cách né những quy tắc đó để tự nhủ rằng, chà, đó không thực sự là công việc nếu bạn coi nó là niềm vui, đúng không?
25
when I was sort of in the build phase of building the business of like actually allowing myself to chill out.
26
Now the obvious benefit to this is
27
that you actually just end up with way more time to grind on the thing that you want to be grinding on.
28
One of my friends, Matthew Dix, he's a great writer and a teacher and he tells the story of how like whatever you're trying to do,
29
you probably don't have huge amounts of free time on your hands to especially if you're trying to, like, if you've got a day job and you're trying to do a side hustle at the same time, like trying to build your business or, I don't know, write a book or whatever.
30
And so actually squeezing out productivity
31
and efficiency out of those tiny ass moments of time here and there that we get throughout the day, instead of using that time scrolling or using that time merely enjoying the taste of a cup of coffee,
32
that time actually does make a difference in how much progress you're able to make in your business.
33
And it does genuinely add up.
34
As with all of the habits in this video, this kind of habit comes at a cost.
35
The cost is obviously you lose some sense of presence, you lose some sense of like dancing through life
36
and actually just being able to take a moment to rest and reflect and like just be present in the moment.
37
And what it results at least for me, and speaking to a lot of my entrepreneur friends, is you end up training this muscle to the point that it genuinely becomes difficult to switch off.
38
I now have to set rules for myself where I'm like, Ali, you're not allowed to work on the weekend.
39
And then I get around those rules to be like, "Well, it's not really work if you consider it fun, right?" So then I literally change the rule for myself, so I'm like, "I'm not allowed to do anything on the weekend
40
that would look like work to someone else." So I'm not judging what work is.
41
An impartial, reasonable, objective observer is judging, does that thing actually look like work?
Một người quan sát công bằng, hợp lý và khách quan đang đưa ra phán đoán, liệu thứ đó có thực sự trông giống công việc không?
42
And I find that rule to be very helpful because I'm like, okay, well, that means I can't do quite a lot of things I would wanna do.
Và tôi thấy quy tắc đó rất hữu ích vì tôi nghĩ, được rồi, điều đó có nghĩa là tôi không thể làm khá nhiều thứ mà mình muốn làm.
43
Okay, maybe I'll read some Harry Potter fan fiction or I'll like, I don't know, go for a walk without my phone or something like that.
Được rồi, có lẽ mình sẽ đọc vài truyện fan Harry Potter hoặc là mình sẽ, không biết nữa, đi dạo mà không mang điện thoại hay gì đó tương tự.
44
Should you adopt the habit of having no downtime into your life?
Bạn có nên áp dụng thói quen không có thời gian nghỉ ngơi vào cuộc sống của mình không?
45
I don't know, this video is not a advice.
Tôi không biết, video này không phải là lời khuyên.
46
It's not a video about whether you should do anything or not.
Đây không phải là video nói về việc bạn có nên làm gì hay không.
47
I'm just giving you the information to be like, this worked for me when I was in my 20s.
Tôi chỉ đang chia sẻ thông tin cho bạn để nói rằng, điều này đã hiệu quả với tôi khi tôi còn ở độ tuổi 20.
48
And it also had some, shall we say, unhealthy implications that I'm trying to unlearn now.
Và điều đó cũng có một số, chúng ta có thể nói là, những hệ quả không lành mạnh mà bây giờ tôi đang cố gắng để buông bỏ.
49
And so up to you, you can take it or leave it.
Vậy thì tùy bạn, muốn nhận hay từ chối cũng được.
50
Now we come to habit number two.
51
Habit number two is the habit of constant consumption.
Thói quen thứ hai là thói quen tiêu dùng liên tục.
52
This is a habit that really helped me when I was, you know, in the first like many years of building my business, which is that if I was in a situation where I physically couldn't get out my laptop and work,
Đây là một thói quen thực sự đã giúp tôi rất nhiều trong những năm đầu khi tôi xây dựng doanh nghiệp của mình, đó là nếu tôi ở trong một tình huống mà tôi không thể lấy máy tính ra để làm việc,
53
I was always consuming something, related to work or related to the business.
54
So I'd be listening to podcasts about business, I'd be listening to audiobooks about business, I'd be listening to YouTube videos at double speed about business.
Vì vậy, tôi sẽ nghe các podcast về kinh doanh, tôi sẽ nghe sách nói về kinh doanh, tôi sẽ nghe các video trên YouTube về kinh doanh với tốc độ gấp đôi.
55
If I was in bed, I'd be reading books on my Kindle about business and about how to make more money and how to grow YouTube channels, you know, all of that kind of stuff.
Nếu tôi đang nằm trên giường, tôi sẽ đọc sách trên Kindle về kinh doanh, về cách kiếm thêm tiền và cách phát triển kênh YouTube, bạn biết đấy, tất cả những thứ tương tự như vậy.
56
And so for absolutely years, I basically didn't have many moments of like rest.
57
Even when I was doing things like commuting to work or like on the toilet, I would always have my AirPods in and always be listening to something or other,
Ngay cả khi tôi đang làm những việc như đi làm hoặc khi đang ở trong nhà vệ sinh, tôi luôn đeo AirPods và luôn nghe thứ này thứ kia.
58
like constantly getting like injecting all of this business advice and stuff into my veins.
59
Now the benefit of this is that, especially if you're a new to the world of business like I was back in the day, you actually end up leveling up quite a lot by learning from other people that have been on the journey before.
60
That was super, super, super helpful in drastically leveling up my knowledge of business, not my skills because skills require practice, but at least my knowledge of like stuff.
61
It was also really helpful because then I was able to do all of those things without actively making time for them.
62
It just sort of happened while I was doing all these other things.
63
But again, the downside and what makes this feel slightly unhealthy, especially now that I'm looking back on it in hindsight, is that A, it's not a particularly present or mindful way to live,
64
where you're constantly injecting information through your AirPods at like 3x speed.
65
It's very easy to miss any kind of nuance
66
and to really like reflect and engage deeply with what you're listening to
67
when it's like just a firehose of information into your brain.
68
The other downside, which is something that I'm now realizing, is that more information does not actually result in more progress.
69
For many years while I was in my 20s, I thought that like the thing that was stopping my business from growing was that I just didn't
70
or the more podcasts I would listen to, maybe there would be this magical idea out there that I just hadn't come across before.
71
Even if I was thinking about the business, thinking about what is the bottleneck right now that's stopping us from 10Xing the business, and then just thinking about that for an hour, rather than listening to an hour worth of audio book,
72
that probably would have actually resulted in a greater
73
a greater impact on the business rather than me listening to the 500th audiobook about business, like, you know, that decade.
74
Oh, by the way, if you're at this point in the video, then you're probably very intelligent, you're probably very good looking, and you're probably serious about leveling up in your work and in your life, which is where the sponsor of this video comes in, and that is Skillshare.
75
Skillshare is a wonderful online platform with thousands and thousands of creative classes taught by real people, including me.
76
I've been teaching on Skillshare since 2019.
77
I've got a really good class on video editing, if I say so myself.
78
I have a class on how to get started
79
into drawing because I decided I wanted to have more things that were like less productive.
80
And so I took the how to draw class by Brent Everston.
81
And it's been a nice way to get started with learning how to draw
82
and like doodling in the evenings and sort of sketching things out.
83
And that has been a very nice way of switching off from screens
84
and sort of reconnecting with my soul and my creativity and stuff.
85
Skillshare is nice because it genuinely is humans connecting with other humans.
86
And they don't just teach you the skill.
87
They also give you a class project that you can work through alongside learning the skill.
88
And then you can share your class project with other people
89
and you can see what other people's projects are and you can learn from them.
90
So if 500 people to use the link in the video description, you'll get one month completely for free.
91
So thank you again, Skillshare for sponsoring this video
92
and for being the place that I've been putting my online classes since 2019.
93
So it's been a very long time.
94
Anyway, thank you, Skillshare.
95
And let's get back to the video.
96
Habit number three is the habit of constantly thinking about your work.
97
For me, the way this manifested was in a few different ways.
98
Firstly, I'd be thinking about work all the time.
99
I'd be thinking about it in the shower.
100
I'd be thinking about it while and when driving to my actual day job.
101
I'd be thinking about it on my lunch breaks.
102
All of those things are fine.
103
But Where it became more unhealthy, shall we say, was when I would be thinking about it while spending time with friends and family.
104
A lot of the times I was physically present, but in hindsight I was not actually present, either I was thinking about work,
105
or I was literally like busting on my laptop on the dining table on the kitchen table, rather than hanging out with my mom and grandma.
106
And if you decide to incorporate this kind of habit into your life, the benefit you'll get is that basically the more time you're spending consciously
107
or subconsciously thinking about the thing that you need to do to make money, your business, whatever the thing might be, that level of focus often results in interesting ideas.
108
Most people will have breakthroughs in their business, not when they're sitting on the desk, but when they're maybe in the shower or maybe driving to work.
109
But obviously the cost of this is that it can often cost something in your personal relationships.
110
And this is a difficult habit to break.
111
I am currently trying to unlearn the habit of constantly thinking about work stuff.
112
I have some friends and mentors who are also entrepreneurs and who have kids that are older than mine.
113
And so they've been they've been parents for longer.
114
And one thing they've advised is that like, you know, having a kid is
115
that is like a very good like reason to try
116
and actually learn the habit of being present and not just having the subroutine of like, what's the next thing to do in the business and running all the time.
117
So these days when I'm like spending time with my daughter, I am trying my best to approach it with true presence
118
rather than putting in the time without really putting in the sort of mental headspace, if that makes sense.
119
before shirking your other responsibilities.
120
in my case and as is the case for a lot of entrepreneurs I know who are now quite rich.
121
It's very, very rare to have a fully, shall we say, balanced life while you're in the grind phase of building up the business.
122
So for me, I started building my first successful business while I was in medical school.
123
Honestly, I kind of half -assed medical school for six years
124
because my mind was always focused on this other thing of building the business.
125
Similarly, when I was working as a doctor, the discretionary time that I had at work, like in lunch breaks and after work and like on the way to work and, you know, all that kind of stuff.
126
My friends who were really, really, really into medicine and who were whole assing their medical careers, they were using that additional time to boost up their CV
127
or to do research projects or to do audits or to create like presentations for conferences and stuff.
128
And I was sort of doing the bare minimum of that just to sort of tick the boxes.
129
And I was spending all of the rest of that discretionary time working on the business.
130
And to be honest, this is a pattern you see amongst any sort of outlier success in any field, whether it's entrepreneurship or sports or acting or music or anything like that,
131
which is it's really, really hard to do something at a really high standard
132
if you're focusing on more than just that one thing.
133
it's probably something you're going to start out building on the
134
side of your like main gig like whatever the things you're doing at university, whatever your career is.
135
And so you kind of have to recognize that Probably.
136
Unless you're particularly superhuman at this, because I certainly wasn't.
137
Like your main thing is going to suffer as a result of you building your side thing.
138
Whether you want to make that trade is entirely up to you.
139
I'm personally glad I made the trade for myself, but also survivorship bias.
140
It worked out for me.
141
But if for whatever reason the business thing didn't work out or I did want to go back to medicine, I have I am behind.
142
relatively speaking.
143
All right, let's talk about habit number five, the health sacrifice.
144
So when I was in the early days of building the business, actually for many, many years, I realized that shopping for groceries, and cooking healthy food were things that were taking up way too much time.
145
And I decided that I would rather invest
146
that time into stuff in the business rather than into cooking and eating healthy food.
147
The benefit of this was that it saved me many, many hours every single week
148
that I was able to then put into the business to grow the business and make more money.
149
The downside obviously is that I then ended up living off takeaways for most of my twenties.
150
And so there is a certain level of health sacrifice
151
that I made in my twenties for the sake of grinding on the business.
152
Now that I'm in my thirties, I'm trying, you know, I've got a personal trainer, and like trying to activate my glutes and my hamstrings
153
because I never knew what those were because I was just like sitting and grinding on a computer all the time.
154
My cardiovascular health is worse than it would have been had
155
I sort of taken better care of like my arteries
156
and stuff by not eating like fatty unhealthy foods when I was in my 20s.
157
Do I think you have to make that sacrifice?
158
I don't think so.
159
These days there are a lot of like super healthy takeout options
160
but for me when I was in my 20s it just wasn't really a priority.
161
It wasn't really something I thought about.
162
If I had my time again I would still do takeouts
163
but I would find a way to really optimize the health side of the takeout
164
so I wasn't living off of like kebab rolls and you know that kind of Habit number six that I developed, which was slightly unhealthy, is being okay with wasting money.
165
So if, for example, I wanted to buy something, like a tech purchase or something for work or something for the studio or like whatever, instead of spending ages doing the research to figure out like what's the best thing that I would wanna buy,
166
if it was below a certain price point, I would just order the thing without thinking about it, Then I would forget about it, then it would arrive in the post, and then I would try it out to see if it actually fulfilled the needs that I wanted it to fulfill.
167
Now, quite a lot of the time, I would say maybe 80 % of the time, the answer was no, and I didn't end up continuing to use the thing.
168
And so then I've got this tech which I've just bought that's just sort of sitting there doing absolutely nothing.
169
And so I would either give it away to a charity shop, I had like a donations box where I would like drop things off to Oxfam every now and then.
170
or I would give it away to a friend, or if it was something low value, I would just stick it in the bin.
171
Now, the benefit of adopting this kind of attitude into your life is that, again, you just get very, very ruthless about how you are spending your time.
172
And if you think something is not worth your time, then you don't bother doing it, which means that you probably have more time to be able to focus on like revenue generating activities in your business.
173
The downside is that it ends up creating waste.
174
It's probably bad for the environment, and it's probably not good for the soul to just be able to press a button
175
and buy whatever you want and then try it out and then almost like discard it.
176
I would reason with myself.
177
I'd be like, oh, I'm giving it away to a charity shop or I'm giving it away to a friend.
178
And like, so it's not like fully wasted.
179
But even so, there is something about that wastage that is Probably.
180
Suboptimal for the soul.
181
And so that was like the cost I paid for having this attitude of being okay with waste.
182
It's something my wife and I clash about to this day.
183
She's very anti -waste.
184
I'm still struggling to unlearn the habit of like
185
being quite wasteful when it comes to like buying things
186
because I'm still ingrained in the mindset of like well why would I bother spending two hours doing the research
187
if it's like it's not worth the time of doing the research you know you know all of
188
that kind of stuff
189
and then habit number seven relates to this point of is
190
this worth my time now there is advice in the world of entrepreneurship
191
that says that you should figure out what is your effective hourly rate
192
or your aspirational hourly rate so
193
if for example my hourly rate is $100 an hour
194
and I've ordered a $25 thing
195
but it would take me half an hour to like try
196
and return the thing if I don't actually need it that half an me $50, but I'm only getting back $25.
197
And so why would I bother?
198
You know, that kind of idea.
199
I thought this was great
200
because I realized I figured out what my effective hourly rate
201
was based on how much money I was making business at the time when it was in my early 20s.
202
I figured out what my aspirational hourly rate was, which was a lot higher than that.
203
And it gave me license to just to not do a lot of things
204
and to be okay with like wasting a lot of money because I reasoned that it wasn't worth the hourly rate.
205
The benefit of this is that you then actually delete quite a lot of errands
206
and chores here and there that actually end up taking quite a lot of time.
207
So for example, on this was why I decided to hire a cleaner fairly early on in my like professional career.
208
However, as with all of these habits, it does come with a cost.
209
And the cost is
210
that it becomes very easy to start thinking of everything in life from this lens of what is the hourly rate.
211
I tried my best when I was a wee lad to turn not over apply this particular razor, to not think about it in context of like French friendships or relationships or anything like that,
212
because you really don't want to be starting to think of like, oh, you know, I hung out with my mate for two hours.
213
That's 500 in those ways, but it is hard.
214
It is something that you have to actively fight against.
215
And it sort of runs the risk of turning time that you spend on anything into like, into a pure time equals money kind of trade.
216
And then when you start running this calculation, you're like, is it really worth me, I don't know, reading a book for half an hour because like, "Yeah, that's 250 quid.
217
Is it really worth me driving all the way to see a friend?" Because maybe the driving time.
218
So can I be productive in that driving time?
219
Do I really want to go?
220
It's kind of far away.
221
I could be working on the business instead to earn more money.
222
And so even this is, I think, a good habit and I certainly wouldn't change it if I had my time again.
223
Like with all these habits, it can be a double -edged sword that's worth keeping in mind
224
if you're going to start adopting that kind of philosophy into your life.
225
Now, ultimately for me, all of the habits that I've talked about here actually did end up serving me.
226
They allowed me to build a business while I was in med school, and then later build a business, grow my YouTube channel while I was working full -time as a doctor, and all of that has allowed me to become financially free
227
and be able to kind of do what I want and live a life that I love.
228
So I don't regret any of that.
229
However, one thing that I've realized is that these sorts of habits I think are useful for a season, but they're not very useful when you apply them to your whole life.
230
And the habits that help you get rich seem to conflict from what I've learned, with the habits that actually lead to a happy, fulfilled and peaceful life.
231
It's very useful to constantly value your time
232
and never do anything that's beneath your hourly rate when you are trying to build a business.
233
But man, if you're trying to run a household, if you're married and you have a wife and you have a child and like, Stuff in the household needs to be done, and you're running everything by that calculation of like,
234
"Is this really worth my time?" takes you to places that you don't really want to get to in your relationship.
235
When I speak to entrepreneurs who are much older than me, like in their 50s or 60s or whatever, almost all of them say that like, it's okay to take a break on the weekends.
236
And in fact, it's a good thing because like, helps you come up with more creative ideas and it helps you rejuvenate you and rest and all that kind of stuff.
237
No one who is in their 50s or 60s that I've spoken to about this says, even once you've made it, made it.
238
You're still grinding away on the weekends and stuff, even while you have a wife and a kid.
239
It sort of feels like the muscle of being productive and grinding away on the business is like, for me, that muscle has been over -trained.
240
So it's sort of like unlearning that is not as straightforward as I would have thought it would be.
241
Still a journey that I'm trying to navigate because I do want to grow the business.
242
It is super fun.
243
And it does fund like the lifestyle that we have.
244
And also, it's not the most important thing.
245
I have a wife and a kid.
246
I do want to take care of my health.
247
I do want to explore more hobbies.
248
So I guess maybe a takeaway from this video is that if you are actively trying to get rich, in general, the more time you spend thinking about and working towards the goal of getting rich, the more time and effort and energy and focus you spend on that,
249
the more likely it is to happen.
250
However, Time, energy, and focus are a finite resource.
251
And so the more time you spend working on the goal of getting rich, the less time you're going to be spending on everything else.
252
For me, I'm very glad about how I spent my 20s grinding away on the business and trying to maximize productivity.
253
But at the same time, it does come with costs.
254
And so either you're willing to pay those costs or you've actually Ideally, you find a way to grind a new business
255
and get rich without having to sacrifice other things that you particularly care about.
256
And I think ultimately, whatever game you're playing, whether it's the game of
257
trying to build a business or trying to get forward in your career
258
or trying to get better grades in school or trying to get rich or not.
259
Like whatever game you're playing, one lesson that I'm learning right now is that there are different strategies that work for different seasons.
260
And ultimately what I'm trying to remember for me, we're not optimizing for trying to maximize the dollars in the bank account.
261
We're actually optimizing, like all of us, we're optimizing for peace, happiness, fulfillment.
262
joy, all of that kind of stuff.
263
Dollars in the bank account, yes it does lead to financial freedom, which can lead to time freedom and creative freedom, so it's amazing.
264
It's fantastic.
265
And it is also not the only thing that matters.
266
Like for me, my 20s was like strategically imbalanced in favor of like making money
267
and less in terms of like turning the dials down in terms of like health and relationships.
268
But now that I'm in my 30s, I wanna dial down the focus on making of the money while still maintaining that and dial up the focus on health, relationships, joy, family, peace, fulfillment, all that kind of stuff.
269
And if you go into this point in the video and you haven't yet seen my video about my 168 hours spreadsheet, it's basically about like how to make time for everything where the key takeaway from
270
that video is that you cannot make time for everything.
271
And so if you're interested in that one, that'll be linked right over there.
272
Thank you so much for watching, and I'll see you next time.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
