Great track btw :)

October 17, 2012 at 11:21 pmHey Anthony, great questions man !
I made a video reply here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX_D0_HNS-Q
But in short…
1. Did I Make Mistakes?
I don’t use the words “mistakes” as I think everything is a an opportunity to learn something new. I would not recommend to others what I am doing though, unless they are very calculated with their finances & have a serious game plan.
2. What Would I Do Differently?
Get a part-time job sooner than I did (didn’t work for 11+ months) & start tracking monthly financials, like an Income Statement and Balance Sheet as soon as possible.
3. Do I Feel Like These Debts Have Been a Part of My Growth?
Yes, but I think of it more as a part of my “journey”. More details in video.
Thanks for the great questions Anthony :)

Much thanks for the support :)
“Success” is a very interesting thing..
I realized how it’s socially uncool to not be successful. And it’s only cool to “have reached it.”
I think that’s bullshit.
I think “success” if over-glorified, and I figured, the hell with it – I’m documenting my journey there, and showing people that “success” is a mindset, and a way of life!
Thanks again :-)

January 25, 2013 at 3:16 pmHey Matt, awesome message. I am right there with you. Just make that shit happen. I’m struggling with getting out of my box and beginning to make things happen for myself. First step is quitting the MBA program that I think is boring and hate doing and move to Southern Cali. I’m just going to find a way to make things work. Keep it up, man.

These will be the most important words for you:
“Self-Directed Education”
An MBA is frankly a huge waste of time and money… real world practical knowledge is what we need to spend out time accumulating. Resources for this stuff are ever abundant. Set an intention and start digging.
Check out the book “Mastery”, by Robert Greene. It’s so solid. Email me if you want to borrow it.
I’m in sunny South Florida now. There’s no point of living in cold, shitty weather.
Follow your curiosity & passions. You’ll make it happen. We are adapting machines.
Rock it !!
