If I could go back and give advice to my 18-year-old self, I'd say:

1. Chase obsession

2. Use money to buy free time

3. Do anything possible to achieve personal freedom

4. Work 4 hours a day in a flow state

5. Write online every damn day

6. Publish a weekly Subst*ck.

7. Never listen to critics

8. Pump weight until it hurts then push beyond pain This is all you need to be successful in life
