Action Is More Important Than Ideas.
Most people don’t fail because they don’t know what’s profitable, they fail because they don’t act on what they already know. Back in 2005, you probably heard about people making money with online stores. In 2019, everyone saw TikTok blowing up. In 2020, livestream selling was clearly a goldmine. But knowing isn’t the problem , it’s not doing. Successful people don’t wait until everything’s perfect. They move first and figure it out along the way. Even if what you do isn’t great at first, taking action puts you miles ahead of those who are still thinking.
2. Daily reflection sharpens your direction.
If you want to grow faster, spend 20 minutes every night reviewing your day. Focus on what you worked on, what you learned, where you could’ve done better, and how to improve tomorrow. This isn’t about venting emotions , it’s about tracking your progress and sharpening your thinking. After even two weeks, you’ll notice you’re clearer on your goals and more focused in your daily actions. The habit of self-review helps you turn random effort into meaningful improvement.
3. Smart decisions come from spotting patterns early.
Big money doesn’t come from working harder , it comes from choosing the right direction. Every person who made serious money early on did so by catching the right trend at the right time. Think about crypto miners 20 years ago, property investors 10 years ago, or content creators now. If something catches your attention or solves a pain point in life, don’t just brush it off. Ask yourself: What’s the real need here? Is there a business model behind it? The more you train this kind of thinking, the faster and smarter your decisions will become and that’s where consistent profits start.
Making money isn’t just about catching a lucky break , it’s the result of taking action, learning constantly, and making smart choices. If you want long-term success, you have to build long-term habits. Skills, not luck, are what keep the money coming.
The Four Cautions for Achieving Greatness
1.There are no shortcuts in life, and there’s no such thing as a way to earn lasting profits without effort.
When everyone else is rushing into a field that seems profitable, take a step back and stay calm, it might just be a surface-level opportunity or even a scam.
2.Never Criticize Others’ Shortcomings or Boast About Your Own Strengths
Those who frequently point out the flaws of others are often trying to hide their own weaknesses, while those who constantly brag about their own strengths are usually motivated by jealousy, attempting to overshadow others’ qualities.
Constantly talking down others and exaggerating your own virtues is not only a sign of low emotional intelligence but also a surefire way to attract resentment and sow the seeds of discord.
3.Share Profits, Don’t Hoard Them; Plan with a Few, Not Many
When it comes to dividing up benefits, if someone monopolizes the profits without sharing, it will inevitably breed resentment and may even make them the target of collective anger.
4.In planning and decision-making, it’s important to collaborate with people who have strong opinions and open minds.
Shallow thinkers and narrow-minded individuals will never fully understand your ideas and will only undermine your resolve and spoil your mood with unnecessary chatter.
5.Don’t Be Arrogant in Success, and Don’t Complain in Failure
Great endeavors require both deep experience and vision, supported by skill. Success or failure is often half due to your planning and the other half due to factors beyond your control.
6.In whatever you do, maintain an attitude of doing your best and leaving the rest to fate.
Don’t give up on your efforts just because there are uncontrollable factors, and never complain about your failure if you’ve already given it your all.
