As I get older I'm prioritizing the things that money can't buy. 
 
You can't buy a happy home or a relationship with your kids. It must be earned with presence and time. 
 
You can't buy a fit body. It must be earned with workouts and control of what you eat and how you sleep. 
 
For a well lived life prioritizes the things that money can't buy. 
 
You can always lose money and make it back. 
 
If you lose your family or your health in the process was it even worth it to begin with? 
 
Ps. If you to learn more on how to build a lean and healthy body in a way that fits your busy life, read the 📌📌 comment ↓

Over the past 18 years, at High Performance Founder we have been helping some of the sharpest Entrepreneurs on the Planet lose weight, build muscle & increase energy.

Just imagine yourself with more confidence, energy & focus watching your revenue skyrocket as a result of feeling like yourself again.

That’s what most DREAM about, but cease to ever accomplish...

After servicing over 10,000+ Clients,

I've noticed a pattern of why most Entrepreneurs can't lose weigh in a sustainable way and I've distilled it down to 3 forces:

Force #1. Cookie cutter plans - You follow someone else's plan or diet and hope to expect the same result.

What you actually need is a plan customized to your body and personal lifestyle.

Force #2. Systems — No systems in place to make getting in shape easier.

A good business runs on systems. The same goes for your body.

Without systems you're gambling on success worse than a drunken bet at a Vegas craps table. 

The process of getting your body back into shape is very much about automating the habits needed to get your body lean & energetic.

No systems = having to think about your diet and workouts all the time.

This results in your spinning your wheels getting frustrated with the process and eventually giving up.

Force #3. Too much focus on losing weight. Not enough on sustainability

What's the point of losing 20 lbs in 6 weeks if you just put it back on?

The goal is to never worry or think about having an unhealthy body for the rest of your life.

But you can't be doing that if you're just thinking about doing things only to lose weight and not enough on your lifestyle.

Most entrepreneurs do unsustainable things to lose a couple pounds on the scale only to be disappointed when they're back where they started.

This results in a yo yo cycle of weight loss and weight gain until they give up.

Now, if you're facing any of these forces, I have a good news! These are completely avoidable and reversible if you just follow the right process.

At High Performance Founder, we are client-obsessed helping entrepreneurs succeed by filling in these gaps. 

Our "North Star" is our clients, focused on this axis; Fastest, most predictable and cost-efficient way possible to help you grow. Our hygiene standard is to help our client getting in shape without stressing out.

We've spent the last 18+ years dialling in a process that just works!

Don't take my word for it — check out our Case Studies below from our successful Clients.

We work 12 hours/day. 
Suck up to our bosses. 
Drown ourselves in alcohol and smoking. And, call it partying. 

We can't even be straight with people, for the fear of maintaining a public image. 

Point is: we have lost our freedom. 

Here is what I (am doing). And will teach my kids: 

[1] Make money. 

[2] Live WAY below your means. If you have 10 Crores. And, live 15 lakhs/year, you have conquered money. 

You don't need to compete with billionaires.
You simply need to compete with your own sensible desires. 

[3] Gain practical knowledge everyday. 

(Today, I learned never to buy furniture from a shop which sells polished furniture. They will charge you 50% more). 

[4] Be capable of making liveable income from at least 5 income streams. 

[5] Don't trade your freedom for money, unless you have no other option. 

Working X hours at the start of your career: fine. 

As you grow, become more efficient. 
And, make more free time. 

[6] Define your principles and live by them. 
You are not here to please the world. 
The world doesn't care (at all). It is too big and too busy. 

[7] If you have no mentor/godfather/godmother, you will take shit in your 20s, 30s: not your fault. But, learn. And progress.  

[8] Only a free person who has no favours to ask, can be blunt. 
Be blunt when you are there. 

Before that: get in line, follow rules and make incremental progress each day. 

Like it or not, your thought process will define HOW FREE you are (once your basic money is sorted).

Freedom is the real goal.

Once you’ve achieved a certain level of financial success, everything becomes about a quest for freedom.

Being able to do what you want, when you want, with who you want is what everyone prizes above all else, but few have it.

Freedom is rare, but incredibly apparent when you feel it.

Bill Gates used to fly economy class for many years, not because he couldn't afford first class, but because he didn't consider it good value. 

In the same vein, I do not need to book a luxury hotel. Living in a hostel with my people works best for me whenever I am on a trip. I love being around different heads and knowing their stories. 

So what is wealth good for, in the end? Of course, it gives you security, but it also gives you flexibility. In my experience, wealth is a tool that can give us the flexibility to choose how we spend our time. Once we have enough to meet our basic needs, we can trade some of our wealth for more time and freedom to pursue our passions.

I've learned that spending time doing something meaningful to me is worth more than any luxury car or expensive hotel.

Wealth is not about having the most expensive things. It's about being free to choose how you spend your time and energy. I encourage you to ask yourself what you want to trade for more time and flexibility. What's truly important to you?

Skills

They grow in value when used together....
They can’t be stolen...
They can’t be taxed...

You can trade skills for money until the day you die no matter the country you live in or the currency it’s denoted in.

Making it the best long term investment imaginable

Invest accordingly.

True wealth is not owning a lot of things, it's about owning your time.

Everything changes when you discover the source of true wealth. 

Take the time and really listen to and affirm the people who matter most to you. These relationships aren't 2X or 10X more important, they are 1,000X more important than many of the other tasks on your plate. Your relationships are the most essential aspect of life.

The ultimate truth about money: even though it doesn’t care about me or you, to make money requires us to care deeply about it.

This might be hard for some people to hear, but this is just the truth. The best motivator in the world is money and if that doesn’t work try more money. To make money you have to be FOCUSED. Focused on investing, focused on saving, and focused on learning from every mistake that has caused you to lose it. You have to care deeply enough that you never want to make those mistakes again.

Chairman, O’Leary Ventures and Beanstox

I don’t care about being a millionaire‼️

… because more money doesn’t equate more happiness…

But, I would always want to be financially independent, grow my wealth, be secure and most importantly enjoy my work thoroughly. 

Since last 3 years, I have worked with multi millionaires as their mindset coach, personal brand and marketing consultant…

And, I discovered that the folks who had PURPOSE oriented vision + clear intentions + passion/commitment were happier and healthier.💯❤️

… and, the ones who never got a chance to truly follow their dreams but got stuck in a business/roles where they were didn’t find meaning and connection….. SUFFERED their money as well. 

The reason is simple : 👇

if you DON’T do what your heart strives for, what really holds your core potential and miss expressing it… everyday…

You are going to be miserable. You’ll never have true joy of living and “being” everyday! 

You are a human BEING : which is all about be and do who you are. ❤️

And unfortunately, most of us a stuck in following a path that’s not aligned and purpose driven. 

Here’s what I encourage you to try:

1. Spend 20 min and ask yourself what you really want to do and add value in the world with.
2. Don’t overthink it. Don’t check whether you deserve it or not. Let it stay there out and loud.
3. Now, ask yourself, what is ONE single action you can take today to move in the direction of this dream.
4. Then, take that one action every day for next 30 days and see where you have reached! 

That’s it…

Just start…

No one is stopping you to start.

No comparisons. No looking around. Just look within and take the step forward. 

Your journey is yours and you came here to make it for YOU. 

Please don’t let this go to waste. 

That’s all for today :)

Much love,
Simi

With 14 years of corporate experience and several opportunities to work abroad, I was able to save and invest a substantial amount of money.

I could have purchased a Mercedes, but I was content with an Alto because material possessions are not my primary desire.

However, the money I saved and invested provided me with the flexibility to leave my job and pursue a path of purpose, passion, and profit without the stress of financial worries.

Money may be a motivating factor for you, and there's nothing wrong with that.

But my motivation for financial freedom is rooted in the belief that when you are financially free, your every word and action can inspire others.

 Inspiring millions is my true motivation.

Have you considered what motivates you to achieve great things?

Do you believe you have great things aligned for you ?

If not, what circumstances  clouded your dreams and desires?

I highly recommend two books to rekindle the giant within you:

✅"Awaken the Giant Within" by Anthony Robbins.
✅"Unstoppable You" by Dimpy Udhani 😁

"I don't promote my book as much as I intend to revise it in the future, but it is recommended by many, including doctors, scientists, and working professionals who have read it.


What books do you recommend?

Only love

10x Your Linkedin Growth | I work with founders and coaches to create leads building strategy for 5x Scaling their Business

We spent $20,000 on our family trip to Hawaii last summer.

Is this an appropriate topic?

→ It might be off putting to some.
→ It might even sound like an arrogant flex to others.

And this is OK. Feel what you want to feel.

→ But I bring this up for a reason.

Family is THE single most important thing to me.

→ Money is not

Don't get me wrong:

→ Money is essential
→ Money helps us survive 
→ But money also helps us LIVE.

Beyond survival and basic needs, money is an amplifier.

So I choose to use it to amplify the things that I hold most important.

→ I don't choose to own a Ferrari 
→ But I'll splurge on a family trip to Hawaii
→ I don't choose to wear the fanciest clothes
→ But once in a while I'll get front row seats to a ball game

The thing is:  

→ It's your money.  
→ It's not my place to tell you how to spend it.

But since family is most important to me, if I have the means to amplify our experience, THAT's what I'll choose to spend MORE money on.

→ A family trip is a great example.
→ I could have spent less than half of the amount I quoted above.

But since I had the means, why not make something we'll remember for a lifetime that much more special?

- If I can afford an AMAZING meal I'll talk about for years?
- I'm gonna pay for it.

- If I can stay in a room that makes things just a bit more memorable?
- I'm gonna pay for it.

And let's get something straight:

→ I save money like a hound.
→ I'm keenly aware of financial security.
→ I'm aware of my finances and put money away for a rainy day.

But when it goes beyond that? If I have more?

I'm spending it on memories and the enhancement of a life I already love.

That's what it's all about.

I never wanted a boss. Ever. 

Since a very young age I had a problem with authority.

- I always wanted to do my own thing. 
- It's not that I didn't like people.  I love people.  
- I love motivating, making people laugh, and all that other fun stuff....

- I just never wanted anyone telling me what to do. 
- I just couldn't shake it, no matter how hard I tried.  

For the first 6 years of my working career I did the best I could, but just couldn't ignore the feeling of not wanting to work for someone. 

One day I found this blogging platform and it changed my entire career and life forever.   Six months later, I quit my job and never looked back.  Not once.  That was back in 2007. 

I began my journey in digital media with the creation of one website.  

Today, the portfolio of 25 sites reaches millions of visitors a month and spans numerous verticals including 

- Lifestyle
- Entertainment
- Pets
- Home
- Finance
- And more.

To date I've never taken any investment capital and have worked with thousands of people. 

- I'm also able to work only 3-4 hours a day.  
- It's been a consistent 7 figure business for over a decade.
- How has this been done from a home office by myself?  
- That's part of what I love talking about and teaching others to do.

These days I have a flexible schedule which allows me to pursue some of the interests in my life which include:

- Playing piano
- Reading as much as I possibly can
- Staying healthy

And most importantly being around my wife and two boys.

Now I teach businesses and individuals how to get exactly where they want to go by following a simple, 3 step framework: I.S.E

This is the framework I've come up with that encompasses the entire strategy I use to help people.

I.S.E. stands for:

- Identify
- Strategize
- Execute

- The beauty of this method is that it is universal.  
- If you are trying to obtain wealth, it works. 
- If you want to improve your health and relationships.  It works. 
- I've used this framework time and time again in my life as well as teach it to others.

4 SIMPLE ways in which you can save up to Rs. 2000 per day on your next international trip -

Last year I travelled to 11 countries and I tested the following hacks out myself.
I ended up saving Rs. 2-3K EVERYDAY!

So, here’s what I did -

👉🏽 Cook my own meals

I always find hostels and Airbnbs with kitchens in them.

The savings here are insane.

A sandwich at home costs 2 euros, and if you buy the same thing in a shop, it can cost you 12 euros.

👉🏽 Carry my own water bottle

Mineral water bottles can cost you an average of 1 - 5 euros.

But if you carry your own water bottle, you can literally fill it for FREE through water-fountains, tap-water and in cafes.

👉🏽 Bought travel insurance even if it’s not mandatory

I fell sick during my trip and had to pay NO medical bills, because my insurance covered it all.

You cannot predict accidents and ill-health, so always buy travel insurance. 

Don’t be penny wise pound foolish.

👉🏽 Carried a student id

If you’re a student don’t forget to carry your ID.

Many countries abroad give you student discounts for transportation, museum, plays, entertainment - everything!

Engaging 1M+ people with my travel stories | On the Forbes India Cover 2023 | TEDx Speaker

I've never shared this publicly before. 

This is the full story of how I went from $15,000 in debt to making over $8.7 million a year. 

So let's start from the beginning...

Hey, my name is Matt. The two companies I own make me $8.7 million a year. 

And I get to take home almost $4 million of that, all while traveling the world and building a meaningful life (which is insane to think about.)

This is the story of how I turned a miserable life into a life better than I could have ever imagined. I can still remember like it was yesterday, a time when I had nothing. I'd been kicked out of my family home at 18. 

My friend and I were living in a crummy apartment. We were broke and completely hopeless. My friend had recently attempted suicide. There was $0 in my bank account. I was ashamed that I had no money to buy anything. 

So I opened up a credit card and just started buying on credit and kept doing that until I was $15,000 in the hole. And I can remember that specific day I hit rock bottom. 

I'd just come home, my friend was cleaning the house and the vacuum he was using just suddenly exploded. 

Dust went everywhere. 

The walls, the kitchen, the furniture, my clothing. 

And we both just hit our breaking point. I left the house and had a panic attack. And my friend stayed back and tried to take his own life. 

I thought about taking my own life as well. 

And I'd love to say that everything just changed overnight. The truth is, it took years of grinding for me to get out of that hole. 

Looking back though, I can see four clear mindset shifts that happened at different points along the way...

They were the key moments in that transformation. 

I've never shared some of these things publicly, but I think there are four changes that everyone needs to go through if they wanna build a successful business and feel like they're in charge of their own life. 

So let's get into it. Hit this link to finish this story:

Let's win together 🥇

Stop blaming your wife. 
 
She isn’t why you're behind on retirement. 
 
→ It's not the Starbucks. 
→ It's not the weekend trips. 
→ It's not even the shopping sprees. 
 
I'm not scared to tell the truth. 
 
→ Blame won't fund your retirement. 
→ Neither will excuses. 
→ Responsibility will. 
 
You think she’s the spender. 
↳ Have you tracked YOUR expenses? 
 
You think she’s not saving enough. 
↳ Are you investing 15%+ of your income? 
 
You think she doesn’t "get" investing. 
↳ Are you educating or just criticizing? 
 
Here’s how you turn it around, TOGETHER: 
 
1. Open Communication 
→ No more blame game. 
→ Sit down, break everything down. 
 
2. Mutual Financial Goals 
→ Where do you want to be in X years? 
→ Make the roadmap together. 
→ Have some fun with this. 
→ Dream together. 
 
3. Make a plan for every dollar 
→ Plan spending for your vacations. 
→ It matters you know you are on track. 
→ You must know where each dollar goes. 
→ Automate your investments and savings. 
→ You can even budget "wasteful" spending. 
 
4. Professional Guidance 
→ A mediator makes this easier. 
→ A CFP can help you find middle ground. 
→ A CFP can help you optimize everything. 
 
One couple's goal was to buy their forever home. 
 
Our team helped develop a purchase budget without compromising other goals. 
→ They're still on track for retirement. 
→ The same goes for funding college. 
 
The problem isn't either of you. 
 
It's the approach. 
 
If you're ready to take the first step towards your goals, as a team, message me.

SaaS’s Financial Planner | I help you turn inconsistent income into stable wealth without the stress

Today, I was offered the opportunity to be a victim of a financial fraud/Ponzi scheme. 

Any financial scheme that guarantees an unreasonably high return is a scam. And the only person who will make money is the scammer. 

My suggestion -- earn diligently, save aggressively, invest thoughtfully, and wait. 

When done right, patience multiplies capital. 

In summary, I am tempted to say something profound such as: "Visionary leader with XX years experience of saving humanity". But I will spare you the agony... 

The truth is that after many detours and experiments in life, I find myself an entrepreneur!

😈 The Seven Sins of Fund Management – A wicked framework of common mistakes made by fund managers

Thanks to the latest episode of The Value Perspective podcast by Schroders featuring GMO's James Montier being interviewed by Andy Evans and Ranmore Fund Management Ltd's Sean Peche, I came across this pretty ingenious framework of common mistakes in fund management. The original research piece by James Montier during his time at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein from 2005 is attached. 

👿 Sin 1️⃣: Placing forecasting at the heart of the investment process (Pride)

Given investors are pretty hopeless at forecasting, they should not place much emphasis on it.

👿 Sin 2️⃣: The illusion of knowledge (Gluttony)

The evidence suggests that in general more information just makes us increasingly over-confident rather than better at making decisions.

👿 Sin 3️⃣: Meeting companies (Lust)

Most of the time these meetings are mutual love ins and investors' ability to spot deception is generally also very poor, so we won't even spot who is lying.

👿 Sin 4️⃣: Thinking you can out-smart everyone else (Envy)

The most common behavioural traits of over-optimism and over-confidence are what lead money managers to believe that they can out-smart everyone else which seems to be remarkably hubristic.

👿 Sin 5️⃣: Short time horizons and overtrading (Avarice)

Because so many investors end up confusing noise with news, and trying to out-smart each other, they end up with ridiculously short time horizons and overtrade as a consequence. This has nothing to do with investment, it is speculation, pure and simple.

👿 Sin 6️⃣: Believing everything you read (Sloth)

Investors would be better served by looking at the facts, rather than getting sucked into a great (but often hollow) story.

👿 Sin 7️⃣: Group-based decisions (Wrath)

Far from offsetting each others biases, groups usually end up amplifying them. Groups tend to reduce the variance of opinions, and lead members to have more confidence in their decisions after group discussions (without improving accuracy).
