And like that fucked me up more than anything else,
I was like holy shit! Being an adult, being a professional
is about making decisions based on the commitments that you make
and not just based on how you feel that day.

Because we all have it. It's just hidden for most of us.
We all have that ability to take back control of our own lives,
but someone else stole it at some point.
Maybe it was a girlfriend that really, really fucked you up.
Maybe it was your parents who told you that you weren't good enough.
Maybe it was a boss who fired you.
Maybe it's the reflection in the mirror because you don't like the way you look.
Maybe that's who stole from you.
And so, this is gonna help you get it back.
And something like the 1000-minute rule, for me is,
okay, we're all on that same track every single day, running around.
We all have the same amount of hours, we all have 24.
How can I make the absolute most of them every single day without feeling like I'm wasting any time?
Because I'm an independent contractor, no one pays me, I don't get an hourly wage, there's no benefits,
I just wake up and, hopefully, I sell stuff.
And if you multiply 60 minutes times 24 hours,
you subtract time for sleep, food, kissing the wife and bathing, you know, whatever,
you're left with about 1000 minutes every day.
And I schedule myself
in 15-minute increments
through that 1000 minutes. Because for me,
I love waking up every day knowing that I am the CEO of my own Bank of Time.
And I got 1000 fresh minutes. Every day, every day.
That way, I'm kind of protecting against negative feelings.
So, if someone screams at me for three minutes because a deal just died, that's three minutes.
I'm not gonna then throwaway 997 minutes.
If someone stole $3 from you, you wouldn't throw away the other $997 cause you're like,
"well fuck this!" You're not gonna do that.
So, for me, I schedule that 1000 minutes methodically.
And I make the absolute best use of them.
And if I get bonus minutes? Like I got somewhere 20 minutes early because there wasn't traffic,
because of COVID and no one's in midtown anymore, what have you, boom!
I just got 20 free minutes! I'm not gonna waste those.
Like if someone just gave me $20 on the street, I wouldn't be like, "nah, here you go, keep it."
You're really giving it to me! I'm investing it.
I'm taking that, I'm figuring out what I can do with it, how I'm gonna use it.
So, I do the same thing with time and when you flip that switch in your brain,
it helps you realise that time is a real commodity
and not just this thing that floats in the air.
You become much more careful with your time and you move much faster.
You become much faster on that track.
If you set a goal for yourself and make that decision, do not waver.
The only person you're gonna let down, maybe you're gonna let down a lot of people,
but really the person you're gonna let down is you 2030.
Why would you ever do that?
I don't get it, I don't understand, and maybe that's just me,
maybe it's the way I'm wired, I don't understand how you can let yourself down.
Let other people down, go for it. They'll figure it out, they're adults. They'll learn.
They're gonna be pissed off at you, you might lose friends, let everyone down but don't let yourself,
you're the only self you're ever gonna know! Like, it's just you. Like, what the fuck?!
It drives me absolutely crazy.
And the other thing I say about decision making that I think is really, really, really important,
for anyone who's listening who's in the process of growing up,
and who might be on their first job, or might just be young.
Successful people make decisions based on their commitments.
Amateurs make decisions based on how they feel.
That was eye-opening for me when I realised that.
And that was something my dad made me realise
years and years, and years ago when
he told me that he didn't actually ever wanna wake up at 4:50 AM and go to work.
Like, that was mind-boggling for me. Cause as a little kid, my dad woke up every day.
Never complained! Ever!
