@avnibarman_ I’ve spent an unreasonable amount of time around Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, many millionaires and even a few billionaires. From growing up with their kids at one of the most expensive private schools in the Bay to actually hanging out with them as an adult, I’ve always been fascinated by how they think. The way they make decisions, build habits, and optimize their lives, I started studying it years ago so I could apply it to my own life. So when I saw this trend on my FYP, I had to give it my own spin 😂 This one’s mostly jokes… but also rooted in hella truth. Should I make this a full series? Lmk what other topics I should cover👇

Transcript

Get a degree, not like philosophy or something, at a good school and then a 6 figure job. College is stupid. I'm gonna drop out and be an entrepreneur. I'm gonna get the easy philosophy degree so I can focus on networking and extracurriculars. I'm gonna get a job at a big company that has good benefits and work hard to climb the corporate ladder. Getting a job is lame. I'm gonna work a hundred hours and grind the entrepreneurship path. I'm gonna land a high paying job to get financial freedom out of the way fast no I can have real leverage when I'm building my big thing. I just got a job in the closest city to my hometown. I'm gonna optimize for remote work no I can travel and live wherever I worst, whether that's Bali or New York. I'm gonna live in San Francisco in New York City tier there is the highest density of ambitious, successful people that I can learn from.
