Daily Productive Sharing 1281 - 3 Decisions to Determine You Rich

Dr Selfie -

One helpful tip per day:)

Dan Koe believes that the only way to get rich is: (1) to set the value of your time at an almost delusional hourly rate; (2) to be obsessed with getting rich; (3) to leave yourself no way out except becoming wealthy.

  1. He realized early on that he couldn’t accept working 8–10 exhausting hours a day just to earn $80,000 to $150,000 a year, slaving away at a job where he felt no sense of ownership or passion—especially when he could clearly see that some people were doing meaningful work, working fewer hours, yet making 100 times more money.
  2. Those who endlessly moralize and spiritualize money simply cannot imagine a life where they are no longer bound by it.
  3. The true purpose of setting an aspirational, high hourly rate is to force yourself to make better decisions and to train your brain to spot opportunities that place you in positions of higher leverage.
  4. If your aspirational hourly rate doesn’t feel “impossible,” then it’s not high enough—or so he believes.
  5. Every single moment of focused effort is a chance to reshape your brain to become closer to the person you want to be.
  6. Visualizing your goals all day long does improve learning—but only if you pair it with real-world challenges that are appropriately difficult.
  7. The “golden zone” for challenge is around 85% difficulty—not so hard it creates anxiety, and not so easy it becomes boring.
  8. To make this more practical, he suggests first writing a list of things you refuse to do.
  9. Then, create a list of things you absolutely must do.
  10. The deeper you think about your actions, the clearer it becomes why you haven’t yet become rich.
  11. He says some of the best decisions he’s ever made have come from treating his money as a “forcing function” to create more wealth.
  12. For him, those three decisions—setting an aspirational hourly rate, focusing his efforts, and leaving himself no way out—together created the perfect conditions that allowed him to earn far more than he ever imagined when he was younger.

Dan Koe 认为，想要变得富有，唯一的办法就是：（1）把自己的时间价值定在一个近乎妄想的高额时薪；（2）对变富这件事抱有执念；（3）不给自己任何退路，除了变富。

  1. 他很早就意识到，自己无法接受每天辛苦工作 8-10 个小时，只为了每年赚 8 万到 15 万美元，在一份毫无归属感、也毫不关心的工作里卖命，尤其是当他清楚看到，有人能做着有意义的工作，花更少的时间，却能赚到百倍的收入。
  2. 那些无休止地将金钱道德化、精神化的人，根本无法想象一种生活：那就是自己不再被金钱所束缚。
  3. 设定一个理想化的高时薪，其真正目的就在于：促使自己做出更好的决策，并训练大脑去捕捉那些能让自己置身更高杠杆位置的机会。
  4. 如果你设定的理想时薪没有让你感到“不可能”，那说明定得还不够高——他是这样认为的。
  5. 每一个专注投入的瞬间，都是在重新塑造大脑，以与自己想成为的人更接近。
  6. 整天在脑海中反复想象目标，确实可以提升学习效果，但前提是你必须把它与真实世界中恰当难度的挑战结合起来。
  7. 挑战的“黄金区间”大约是 85% 的难度——不会高到让人焦虑，也不会低到令人感到乏味。
  8. 为了让这个思路更具体，他建议先列出一张“自己不做的事”的清单。
  9. 接着，再列出一张“自己一定要做的事”的清单。
  10. 你越是深入思考自己的行动，就越容易看清自己为什么还没变富。
  11. 他做过的最好的决策，往往都跟这样一个思路有关：把手里的钱当作一种“倒逼机制”，去创造更多的财富。
  12. 对他来说，那三个决定——设定理想时薪、集中力量、不给自己退路——共同创造了一个完美的条件，让他挣到了比年轻时想象中还多得多的钱。
