You're just in time for coffee time with your host.

Ex Google Ex Facebook Tech lead Today I wanted to tell you about five million or habits I personally have as a milliner.

And I must be on my fourth cup of coffee today.

Shelled out to Nao Brian, By the way, who gave me this idea from his channel and he did.

The excellent video inspired me to give my top tips as an actual milliner because I I don't think he has one.

The first and perhaps most important tip I think all milliner share, let me know what you think it is.

In the comments below, I think it's recognizing and chasing opportunity like really going after opportunity when you see it.

Quick pause.

This video is sponsored by Scotia, an online learning community with thousands of classes on creative entrepreneurial skills.

Explore everything from Web development and entrepreneurship to productivity, marketing and more because skill share is sponsoring this video, I'm getting off free two months trout link in the description below, So there are two components here.

First is having the mind open enough to recognize opportunity, and then the second is to actually go after chase it.

Put in the hard work when you see it.

You may have heard me say before that a lot of my personal success can be attributed to writing trends.

Very little of that is from a traditional path where you go through school, grand your way through the career ladder and eventually get to a higher position.

I think that basic and normal grind, while very comfortable and there's nothing wrong with it.

There's little chance of actually making spectacular amounts of money through that.

So it's really about recognizing opportunity and going after when you see it.

And you would be surprised how many people let other things stand in their way.

Some people they don't like a certain brand, a certain person.

They don't like how someone looks.

So they refused to work with that person.

Maybe they refused to give up their weekends and evenings, nights where they're watching game of Thrones and people find excuses all the time.

I remember back in the day when APS were still knew I would be working on the nap and I would be telling all my coworkers about that and tell them Hey, I'm making so much money on this.

It was like $1000 a day, and there were our programmers.

I thought them to get in on it, too.

You just had to learn a few AP eyes, and none of them seriously got into it.

They barely took the time to read the documentation.

They just sat back laughing at it, kind of ridiculing it.

These people would be feeling comfortable, may be even superior in their 9 to 5 jobs.

But the thing is, if you ever plan to leave that 9 to 5 job, you need to have a healthy level of respect for things outside the traditional concept of a career.

I tend to believe that the best education you can give someone is the ability to recognize the opportunity.

Because if you just tell somebody, hey, whether you just get chemical engineering degree and you're going to grow up and become a chemist or pharmacists.

Then they learned to ignore all of the other options that could be in their paths.

And every so often, something comes along some new piece of technology or some new concept that disrupts entire industries, creating tons of opportunities and all you have to do is be there at the right place at the right time, prepared to take action.

And I think that is one quick way to gain success now.

The second habit, I believe, is that milliners loved the game to them.

They've learned that success is fun because it simply takes a lot of long term, sustained effort to be able to create something of sufficient value.

Very rarely do you see success overnight, which is why many people who are in the game for the wrong reasons, like if they only want to make enough money so that they can retire and sit on the beach, they're not going to be ableto up with that sustained effort in order to get there, I would say you need to run the business for at least a year, maybe 2 to 3 years, with a lot of the passion and sustained effort every single day.

And if you just don't have that level of passion for whatever work you're doing, you're not gonna be able to make it through that, which is why you may see a lot of successful people.

They continue to work.

They don't quite retire.

I'm not retired myself.

I could just go sit on the beach, But I just enjoy making something of myself, seeing how far I can push myself, what change I can deliver to this world.

It's not really about the money.

Buying material goods or luxury items is more like playing the video game and trying to beat your own high score.

All right, so the third common habit is that milliners value their time because all of us have the same 24 hours in the day and time and money are interchangeable.

It just depends on how you're doing that exchange rate.

If you're able to use your time as effectively as possible, you can leverage a lot other fat.

I've personally tried to catalogue every minute of my day and to free up as much personal time as I can so that I can chase other potential opportunities.

The fact is, you don't need a lot of time, maybe just 2 to 3 additional hours a day.

You can do a lot with if you could just free up a few hours.

There are focused each day.

You may be surprised how much you'll be able to accomplish.

I encourage you to give that try.

The fourth milliner habit is properly taken care of your health because health is absolutely one of your assets.

I tried to make sure I get my daily exercise in as well as a full eight hours of sleep, so I personally cannot function well without sleep.

I would basically lose the whole day.

But what really motivates me to exercise is knowing that by the time any of us reach age 50 60 most of us would have become milliners by them because we would have put in our time everybody would have put in, say, 30 40 50 years worth of working.

It wouldn't be rare to become a milliner after that much time.

But what really separates people is their health at that stage.

Whether you were really able to take care of your body throughout that journey and plus having good health just makes you feel good.

The fact is, health is one of your most important assets, and it's difficult to enjoy your money if you don't have to health to go with it.

And yet so many people, they seem to neglect that and it becomes all the more easier when you have to go to a 9 to 5 job, and then maybe we can get back from work.

You have to do a little bit more overtime, take care of the additional chores in the household, and it's just not a worthwhile trade.

In my opinion, if you have to begin via pure health, that just wasn't supposed to be part of the deal and that my last habit for milliners is that they have a get it done attitude.

Too many of us out here are dreamers, entrepreneurs.

We imagine things, throw ideas and then let other roadblocks stop us.

I couldn't tell you how many times I've heard a $1,000,000 app idea.

And believe me, they probably really our $1,000,000 up ideas.

And yet nobody goes out to actually pursue it because they don't want to put in the actual effort or work.

Maybe it's actually sometimes 1/2 baked idea in which people may be suggesting the idea.

That sounds good, but haven't actually thought that through from concept through lunch.

Many people are afraid to accept criticism for their idea.

They're afraid of failure.

They don't want to be embarrassed in front of their friends.

The fact is that ideas are cheap and execution is what really matters.

How many times have you been at the dinner conversation where people say, Hey, you know what you should really build?

Is this in that?

Or, you know, what would be a great idea is if we built this.

And yet nobody just seems to go after any of these ideas.

People just go back to their 9 to 5 jobs.

Watch the Netflix shows surfing Facebook all day long, when in reality it would have taken just probably two hours a day for about a month or two to have really tested out that idea.

So my advice here is not to be proud of yourself because you came up with an idea.

Be proud of your ability to execute.
