Covey’s first two habits are big picture and abstract.

Habit #1 — “Be Proactive” — is about changing your mindset from someone who is acted upon to someone who acts. It’s about reminding yourself that you are in charge of your life and how you respond to it.

Habit #2 builds off of the first. It instructs you to marshal the power of personal agency and “Begin With the End in Mind” — the “end” here being nothing less final than the grave. When you look back on your life from your deathbed, what do you want to see and how do you want to feel? Once you know that, you create a personal mission statement based on timeless principles and your own core values that helps you develop and practice these “eulogy virtues.”

Habit #3 is where the rubber meets the road.

As Covey argues, Habits 1 and 2 are about personal leadership — figuring out where you want to go and what you want to do in life — while Habit #3 is about personal management. It’s about taking the big picture, the abstract, the idealistic, and turning them into the day-to-day, the concrete, the practical. It’s about taking external actions that match your internal convictions.

Learn everything there is about sales. "But I hate sales!" Be broke then. Everything in life is rooted in sales from pitching a biz idea to making connections or fukkin a bytch.

If you're pushing thirty and over, social media is not for bullshyt anymore. Purge your page of the fukkery. Social media is now for promoting your biz and choppin up game with the playas, yes indeed.

There's a small group of everyday cacs on Twitter right now killing the game with online businesses. Follow them, Learn from them. Ignore the "whites have higher IQs" nonsense, trump dikk sucking and daily belittling of the left. Just STFU and soak up that game they tweet endlessly about among themselves on the low.

If you have a job, your main goal should be to get your ass free from it and build your own shyt online. You're black, working for cac. It's only a matter of time before they discard you over some bullshyt. When you commute, listen to audio tapes or read. When you get home, work on your biz. An extra 500 a month on your own that no cac can turn off can be some life saving shyt in a pinch. Every black man on this earth should have that.

Read. Read. Read. The funny thing about reading is that a 10 dollar fukkin book can solve every single nikka's problem on this fukkin board or at least get them in the right direction. If you're not going through 2-3 books a week, youre fukkin up.

Motivation is cool. Motivation is fun. Watching videos that get you in that ecstactic mood is always a good thing. But the trick bag is that the feeling is fleeting. Discipline is king. It's less glamorous, much more harsh, but it'll take you farther.
Brother you better fukkin preach:wow:You sounded like Eric Thomasight here
