A full day of admin? That’s intense. What is your mindset when you wake up on those days? How do you make a full day of that stimulating?

I do. Although with a bit more exceptions and a deeper understanding, I would hope.

I have actually flipped the schedule–one full day of administrative work stuff, the rest are all learning/reading/writing.

I wonder, do you still feel this way 3 years later? Especially now that you have other, different projects that you are working on. Do you still have a day dedicated entirely to learning?

[...] -Write your own rules. Forget the bullshit ones (dress code, hours, hierarchy etc), follow the critical ones (getting results, never offend the wrong person) and do whatever you want. Seriously. [...]

Thank you, Charles. I am dismayed by how frequently the phrase “cognitive dissonance” is used on this blog, and it never seems to really fit with how Festinger (or hundreds of other researchers) described it.

You can do anything you want, but can you do what you don’t want?

I think some of your best writing comes from your own self-evaluation of the life you’re living. This post is no exception.

Also, it may be my opinion, but anyone who takes the pseudonym of “dingo” willingly isn’t qualified to talk about success, let alone to do it with such condescension.

You mean 50 doesn’t do his own research? I was hoping I’d be applying the 50th law to my life by summer, I can’t wait for that one to come out. I know its a slim chance but I’ve got to ask someone on the inside, is there any credence to the rumors that they’re also working on a rap album together? I’d love to rock some gangster rap about growin up all hard stayin up past bedtimes to read about Talleyrand.

YES FIGHT THE CORPORATE WORLD AND GO MAVERICK, LOOK HOW IT HAS BENEFIT EVERYONE ELSE!!!

Idiot, with the exception of the lucky geniuses, your fight will fail. I am very wealthy and I embrace the path but I laugh at those few who try to fight it and inevitably turn into piles of failure.

I think this was a great post. It defintely focuses on something 99percent of the world doesent realize, if you promote yourself and believe in what your doing, you can do anything. Ryan has that figured out and is a living example.

That said, I think he gives way to much credit to Tucker Max. Max is appealing because he acts like an asshole online. Big deal, anyone can do that. While he is intelligent and innovative like Ryan, he’s just in for a reality check because of the arrogance he is convinced puts him ahead of the pack…
