I remember learning about building a personal portfolio from Ramit before, probably from when I first took the Success Triggers course. However, I forgot about it in following years. Basically, the idea is to add any accomplishments to your portfolio every so often (like maybe once a month). That way, when you need it later (for a resume or bringing up for a job promotion), it will be ready for you for the most part.read more

The lesson on free advice where you harness the expertise of other people seems useful, but I’m not exactly sure how to execute it. Right now, I’m learning Spanish and would like to learn more about producing songs on my own or collabing with others. I don’t exactly know who to talk to for advice let alone ten to twenty people. So, I might just rely on Reddit for now. To be honest, I don’tread more

The D to C principle is dismissive to curious principle. It means letting go of your judgments and seeing what else there could be. It could give you a new perspective on things you view negatively. I am critical of people’s relationships, especially through the photos I see on social media. I think about how superficial these relationships must be. I see hairless women with makeup and straightened hair getting into relationships with fat orread more

One thing I didn’t do because I was afraid of spending the money was hiring other music producers to help me produce a song with my vocals. I was worried it wouldn’t sound great, or that I wouldn’t make the money back. I realize that these are kind of silly reasons. If I don’t like one producer’s work, I can always try another producer, or look at their reviews first. And also, it doesn’t haveread more

I was going to listen to the next lesson on Success Triggers by Ramit Sethi and then answer the study questions in my post. But when I looked at the video, I saw that it was 15 minutes long, and I didn’t want to spend the next 45 minutes watching the video and answering the questions. I hope that I can look at it tomorrow. So far, I’m not feeling much different with Success Triggers.read more

When I think of ambitious people, my first impression is that they’re hard workers, highly intelligent, highly motivated, full of energy, and love their life. These are all positive traits for the most part. But when I compare myself, I feel like I don’t fit these traits. I don’t work hard. I just do what I feel like for the most part. I don’t consider myself that intelligent. I guess I’m “above average”, but Iread more

One person in my life who seems to be good at everything is Steve Pavlina. 😀 Once he commits to something, he succeeds. If he wants to learn something, he will look at it from every angle and learn it well. He approaches new things with curiosity. I used to approach new things with curiosity, but nowadays, I get impatient. I want to see results fast. So instead of enjoying the process, I’m too focusedread more

What’s important to me is to create passive income for myself over the next year or two. The types of people who I associate with making significant passive income are driven, ambitious, and highly motivated. Also, they enjoy what they do (e.g. blogging, publishing eBooks, making courses, etc.). I feel like the difference between me and these people is that I’m not that ambitious or driven. I think I’m lazier than these people. Either that,read more

These days, I don’t really feel guilty for much. I tend to be compassionate about myself and realize that I’m doing my best with what I know. It’s harder to do things with hearing a voice because I’m constantly trying to block it out and prevent it from talking to me. Sometimes, I do things solely for keeping the voice quiet. So, I acknowledge that I’m still struggling to deal with the voice and thatread more
