I’ve never been comfortable in a crowd.

40 years on this Earth has driven me to learn about those who separate themselves from the pack.

Here’s what they share:

  • Learned from the past, but has no longer any need for it.
  • Has forgiven themselves and is self-compassionate.
  • Curious about other people but not attached to anyone.
  • Does not takes sides or holds grudges and has compassion for all.
  • Not above earning a lot of money, knowing that money is simply a tool.
  • Is driven to own income-producing assets while minimising liability material goods.
  • Focused on massive, creative production while reducing consumption.
  • Not dependent on any addictive substances or energy-draining habits.
  • Has created significant distance from state assistance through self-reliance.
  • Understands the value of spiritual growth and continually nurtures this area.
  • Has multiple sources of income from businesses and investments.
  • Dedicated to a healthy, fit body at the elite level.
  • Seeks out mentors, coaches and guides to make continual progress leaps.
