If you’re about that hustle culture life then you’ve either entertained the idea of burning the boats or you already took the leap. Is it necessary though? Is there a link to being successful and leaving yourself no option for retreat?
Matt Higgins has been on Shark Tank as one of the sharks, he’s vice chairman of the Miami Dolphins, guest lecturer teaching at Harvard, and CEO of a private investment firm, RSE Ventures among other things. His success is mind-blowing and at a level very few people ever achieve.
The plot twist is he grew up broke, selling flowers, working at McDonald’s and actually made the decision to drop out of high school at 16 years old! He’s sharing why Burn the Boats, the title of his latest book, isn’t the idea you think it is. Matt points out that 48$ of people have a plan A and believes that when you spend time coming up with Plan B you’re more likely to not even give Plan A the effort it deserves and therefore minimize your chance of success.
This conversation is about getting real with yourself, facing everything that comes your way,and not retreating to Plan B, C or D. The idea that Matt shares is about being so totally committed to your Plan A that success is the only option.
Eliminate choices. Fully commit. Experience new levels of success.
“There’s a gravitational pull of incrementalism because incrementalism is the only thing for which we have data to validate our choices.”

Previous Episode
If you only focus on getting this one thing right, you would instantly improve your focus, your energy and stamina, boost your productivity and literally change the course of your entire day.
The problem is that if you’re not serious about doing ALL the things you talk about doing, then you're about to watch or listen to this episode, nod your head, get pumped up for a few minutes and get right back to doing the same things that get you the same results you’ve been getting.
So are you about that life or not?
If you’re tired of going through every day exhausted and showing up to every area of your life tired, unfocused and half productive, then this is for you. So, grab the pen and paper and let’s start planning out how to actually get started on an evening routine that will change your life for good.
Take note of the sleep disruptors you’ve been entertaining for so long that you don’t even think of them as interfering with your sleep.
In this hustle culture, too many people are practically bragging about their lack of sleep, poor time management, and no freaking clue how to prioritize as a distraction and cover up to the reality that SLEEP is one of the lead dominos people have to get right in order to go full on beast mode in any and every other area of their lives.
When are you eating your last meal of the day?
What time are you getting to bed every night?
Are you protecting yourself and your mind from stress before bed?
Let’s be honest about the mistakes we’re making so we can get real about the solutions and what it’s going to take to get there.

If you don’t understand how to manage your money then your chance of achieving financial success and freedom goes to zero. When you don’t know the rules to the game of money it's almost impossible to win.
Wallstreet Trapper built the skills he needed to become a fundamental investor, a speaker, a stock market education, and an entrepreneur after doing over 8 years in prison, selling drugs and not having any advantages in life.
One of the best things you can consider doing to improve your finances is to get into stocks, learn how to leverage real estate and build a business that generates value.
Something you’ll want to consider from this episode:
Have you learned the money game
Are you prepared to exit the money matrix
How can you become an investor
What is keeping 99% of people broke
QUOTES:
“Wealthy people do three things. They stop trading time for money, they make their money work for them and they give as much value to people as they can.”
“Just coming up in the streets you only see the game from the lowest level, and you look at everybody else in part admiration and part jealousy.”
“Being at the bottom teaches you to envy people at the top.”
“Once I broke the game down to a way I could understand it, it wasn’t about me being brilliant , it was like how do I make the game winnable for me”
“Everybody won’t be able to build a million dollar business, but everybody can invest in one.”
“If you’re bold enough to bet on the future and be patient enough to let it take place you will win and you will win big.”
“A dollar that’s not moving is a dollar that’s losing.”
