Subj: How to stop being a slave and start being a master
If I were to go back in time 10 years ago before I started this whole journey into the unknown, I would give some good advice to my younger self.
I would drill these lessons into the head of the younger Pride to get him to understand the vital importance of each of these 10 rules.
If the young man did not want to listen I would slap him in the mouth until I drew blood to make him listen.
This information is highly important to your continued success.
Anyone can find success early, it is keeping that success which is the hard part.
To keep that success that you worked so hard to achieve, always remember this...
1) Keep your mind sharp at all costs
The Buddha told you 2500 years ago: "The mind is everything. What you think, you become."
Gautama the Buddha wasn't a dipshit hippie "heal the world with communism" type. He was an elitist who knew the value of keeping a sharp mind and not having a wife to slow you down.
In business, the mind is everything.
Nothing will ever last if your mind is not in tip-top shape.
You can make money with the mind of an imbecile but you cannot keep it with the mind of an imbecile. And having the mind of an imbecile or the mind of a master is entirely in your control.
You could be in a wheelchair like Steven Hawking and still make a killing if your mind is intact. Take great pains to keep your mind sharp.
The slaves dull their minds with drugs and vice and that's fine for them, but the master must never have a dull mind.
It is of VITAL IMPORTANCE that you keep a sharp mind.
The easy thing to do when you get successful is to slip away into booze, broads, and benzos. These things dull the mind because they are an escape from reality.
You don't want to escape reality, you want to live in reality at all times.
The biggest escape from reality is carbohydrates. They are 8x more addictive than cocaine.
Allowing yourself these "simple pleasures" can virtually guarantee a strong cognitive decline. With a decline in brain power you can also experience a decline in BANK ACCOUNT power.
2) Never forget what your goal is
The worst thing that will happen to you in the future is making a lot of money.
When you make a lot of money you will forget a lot of things. In particular, you will forget what your true goal is.
Always have your goal firmly in your mind.
When you start making a lot of money you start to forget why you're doing this in the first place.
You forget how to do your work. When you forget what your goal is, you forget absolutely everything else.
Never forget your goal because if you forget your goal you will forget who you are. You will forget everything, you will forget how to do business, make money, and create great art.
Always keep the goal firmly in your mind and never dull the mind with intoxicants so that you forget your goal.
Write the goal down and tape it to your mirror so that you see it every morning for years and years and years and years.
NEVER EVER FORGET YOUR GOAL.
3) Never eat grains and carbs, only eat meat
The biggest killer of your creativity, cognitive ability, and drive will be the food you eat.
Specifically, carbohydrates completely dull the mind.
That's why the slaves are told to eat rice, wheat, vegetables, oats and other pig slop.
Carbohydrates keep the slaves just strong enough to work but too weak to question authority or ever fight back.
Even if they had the physical energy to fight back, the high grain diet ensures they have no mental faculties.
The mental is developed only with high proportions of vitamins a, b, d, e, and k. All of these are missing from vegetation/grains/plant foods.
This is why the rich man sits down to eat steak and caviar while the poor sit down to eat vegetables and rice.
Peasant food like wheat keeps them so stupid they have absolutely no idea how stupid they are.
When you eat scrumptious dining meals like steak, chicken, and caviar you realize in an instant how utterly defeated the normal population is.
You also become more of a hunter when you eat meat. Having the mindset of a hunter is very important in business.
Your carnivorous instincts kick in when you eat meat.
When you eat grains your hunter instincts disappear and you develop the traits of a prey animal.
In years past only livestock ate grains.
Guess what? Still today only livestock eats grains.
Always eat scrumptious dining meals. Let the slaves eat grain. When they tell you of the health benefits of eating livestock feed, smile and nod.
If you eat slave food your cognitive ability will decline every year, but you'll be too brain-fogged to ever notice it.
You'll be in the nursing home with dementia while your competitors are in their mansions still dining on buffalo steak and quail eggs.
4) Take performance enhancing substances strategically
There is nobody in the business world who did it all naturally.
Especially not me.
I owe a good deal of my success to my periodic use of performance enhancing substances. Especially because I was a fool who followed the wrong diet and training methods and did not keep the mind as sharp as a razor blade.
To my younger self, you must know: Always keep the perfect diet of a hunter. On top of the perfect diet, use strategic supplements to advance towards your ultimate goal.
Whether it is business, art, or athletics - performance enhancing substances always play a part.
Some types of drugs, supplements, or substances are always used to achieve a goal. But they need to be used strategically and not all the time.
Take stuff that enhances you, never take stuff that decreases your cognitive ability.
The retarded slaves think in terms of absolutes like "all drugs are bad" and cannot understand that some drugs are good for you and some are bad for you.
Let them wallow in their stupidity.
5) Never let a female change you or make you work less
One of the biggest mistakes a man in business can make is to get married to the wrong woman.
The wrong woman will demand the man make more money while at the same time complaining that he works too much.
She will demand that he purchase things she does not need for exorbitant prices.
This make the man NEED to work not WANT to work. When the want becomes a need the work quality goes down.
If a man works for a company he becomes a slave to the company the minute he gets married because he then NEEDS to work to fulfill his bitch of a wife.
He also becomes a slave to the wife's greed.
A strong man must never allow this to happen.
He must never marry a social-climber unless she is in a high-enough position to advance his career.
Otherwise, he should hide his wealth and marry a plain-Jane average woman who is happy to have him and whatever he is willing to give her.
A demanding woman must be shown the door and then kicked out of it.
A good woman will be along for the ride, like a personal cheerleader. Otherwise, open the door and kick her out. Don't even slow down to do it.
6) Follow Monk Mode for at least 30 days of every year
When you let go of strict self-discipline you open the door for failure.
When I relaxed a little bit I made a terrible mistake. I was only ever able to build this great blog because of my highly strict self-discipline.
My refusal was my way of life. When I let that refusal go, all good things went with it.
With strict self-discipline and self-development you make more money and have more influence.
With lax self-discipline you make less money and have less influence.
Strict, and I mean STRICT, self-discipline is the essential key of doing well in business.
When the other slobs allow themselves junk food and alcohol and dope, the smart man denies for himself all of those things.
The smart man MAKES himself become unbreakable by MAKING himself sacrifice.
This is the concept of sacrifice that Average Allen cannot understand.
"If it feels good, why wouldn't you do it?" they dumbly ask.
The reason is this: Short term dopamine robs you of long-term profits.
Everything that was ever worth getting came at a sacrifice.
You don't have to sacrifice a Billy Goat to Baal, but you do have to sacrifice short-term pleasures for long-term gains.
Monk Mode is the tool that gets you from average to above-average.
It is the selfish tool that every man of business needs to gain an edge on the competition.
Most people will wish and dream to achieve success but they will forget one important detail.
Along with wishing and dreaming for success...
You have to give yourself adequate time alone to build that business!
Always be strict with yourself!
Other people can be careless. Women and children and slaves can be careless and waste their precious time.
The master cannot afford to be careless and must always be strict with himself.
7) Exercise the body
Hard exercise is good for the mind. But I used to exercise too hard and be useless for the rest of the day.
I'd wake up and train with weights so damn hard that for the rest of the day I'd have to lie down in bed.
My mind was unable to do the hard mental work because I had exhausted the all body by training with a brutal intensity.
While I was able to build the body of a Greek God, my mind during this time was being wasted.
But when you don't exercise, your mind becomes anxious.
There has to be a happy balance.
What is rule #1? Always take care of the mind!
Make your cognitive abilities increase with age, do not allow them to decrease with age.
The easiest way to allow the mind to age is to never exercise at all.
Exercise is what calms the mind and releases endorphins and makes you feel calm. You will have to be calm to make cold and calculated decisions.
When I don't train for 5 days or more I get anxiety and this makes the mind play tricks on you. You cannot think right if you have anxiety.
The way to calm the mind is simple: Pump iron.
Pumping iron is not just for the body, it is for the mind. You don't want to make rash decisions or emotional decisions.
Remember: Don't exercise so much that you dull the mind, but never exercise so little that you dull the mind.
Exercise just enough so that you always have a calm and clear mind.
8) Get adequate sleep
I used to brag about not sleeping enough.
You know who brags about vice? A fool.
I would brag about not sleeping enough, and then I would not be able to work hard during the day because I was too mentally fatigued.
I see this same braggadocios behavior in fools who sleep too little and brag too much about it.
If I were a fortune teller I would tell them what I see in the future:
"In the crystal ball I see you hitting a brick wall in the future. Get some sleep."
If you want a leg-up on the competition, always get adequate sleep. They may sleep less, but with less sleep comes less clarity.
With adequate sleep comes strong mental clarity, energy, and cognitive ability.
Never stay awake too far past sundown.
What so many of the everyday wage slaves do not understand is the importance of sleep as the bedrock of health.
If you don't get enough sleep, you cannot properly make decisions. This game is all about making decisions, sometimes quick decisions, and you cannot make good decisions if you haven't slept.
The slaves are the ones who rush to wake up and work to make you wealthier.
You must never get less sleep than you require. It isn't cool and hip to be sleep deprived, it is utterly stupid.
While the idiots are up until midnight looking at their slavephones, you will be in bed at 9pm.
9) Never use a smartphone
I didn't have a smartphone for the first several years in business and it was the best decision I ever made.
I was able to focus solely on the growth of the business while my "competitors" were focused on the growth of their social media accounts.
Social media does not pay in dollars, it pays in dopamine.
When I got a phone and got on social media, I forgot who I was. I forgot what I was working for, I forgot how to work.
Stay away from smartphones!
The smartphone is the #1 enslaving device the world has ever seen.
Go outside and look around. What do you see?
The minds of the slaves are no longer their own.
They are all plugged into the hive mind getting told what to do, what to think, how to act, and who to be.
You on other hand must be who you are.
The retarded slave always thinks, "But I NEED a smartphone to do business!"
What they forget to add is this: "I need a smartphone so I can promptly answer the calls and messages from my masters."
Not to mention the slavephones are spying on you. You should be spying on other people, never let others freely spy on you.
10) Be detached
The master is enlightened.
The regular folks, aka the retarded, think enlightenment is about doing good for your fellow man like a hippie communist.
The reality of enlightenment is this: Enlightenment is a process of detaching yourself from the emotions of the average man.
The master can never become emotionally involved.
The master is strategic, not emotional. The master makes others emotional and gauges their reactions.
The master will never let himself fly off the handle in a rage, unless it is carefully calculated.
To the master, calculation always precedes any emotion.
BONUS #11) Always be honest, even when you lie
Your words are less important than your character.
On any given day you can give 2 totally opposite truths and both of them will be true because it was you who said it.
The slaves feel this is a contradiction. Let them. The master knows damn well that his opinion on a thing can change within a day and within a certain context.
Telling honest lies will also get you out of hot water because people will appreciate your boldness.
Here's an example of telling an honest lie:
If she catches you in bed with another girl, say right to her face: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!"
Women appreciate this type of asshole honesty, even though it isn't true.
She will believe you, not because you're telling the truth but because she believes in your character.
You can disagree with every word the master says and still agree with the master.
You can agree with every word the slave says and disagree with the slave.
BONUS BONUS #12) Always give them a little extra
If you promise them 10 tips, give them 11 and make the 11th spectacular.
If you are known to over-deliver, you will always have a customer base who is waiting and salivating for your products.
Follow these rules as if your life depended on them.
Because your life actually does depend on them.
Being poor ain't no life at all.
You've got to work hard to get rich and you've got to work even harder to stay rich.
Stay rich, young man.
Stay rich.
Until next time.
Your man from the future,
