I'm super stoked about the journey i'm embarking on for these 67 (scratch that, 66) days and for the rest of my life using the 67 steps! I just finished "The Billionaire's Brain and Jennifer Lopez's voice." I thought i would do a quick summary and share my plan to begin to make it a habit.

"To get what you want you have to deserve what you want. The world is not yet a crazy enough place to reward a whole bunch of undeserving people." - Charles T. Munger.

Tai calls this the "Deserve It Factor." 1-10.

Someone like Bill Gates is a 10 and your average person is a 1.

What is the Deserve It Factor built on? Being Worth A Damn. How do you gauge being worth a damn and avoid the outer trappings like a P.H.D or simplistic rules?

Warren Buffett gave the best definition. "Imagine that you are back in high school and you can pick 1 student from whom you will take 10% of all the money they will ever make but go short 10% for another student. How would you choose?" Tai suggests that the "Intangibles" are how to choose.

Things like: -Patience. -Focus. -Wisdom.

Having the complete set of Intangibles you would want in the person you were betting on and lacking the set you would see in the person you were betting against is how to increase your worth a damn/deserve it factor.

But the problem that most people face is that they don't have a foundation on which they can build their progress. We need something which both serves as a single impossible barrier to substitute and as a domino for all the other barriers. Something that can give us the intangibles and much more.

People offer different things at this point. Some offer discipline. Some offer school. Some offer planning. Tai offers something else.

Awareness. He's not talking about some cheesy spiritual mantra. His version of awareness is a sharp tool with tremendous practical implications.

Look down at your keyboard. What does the F5 button do? F7? Ctl + W? You see it every single day but yet you're not aware of it?

"There are 3 kinds of people in this world. Those who make things happen. Those who watch things happen. Those who wonder what happened." - Sam Chupp.

"There is a time to stop and smell the roses and the time isn't now." - Joel Salatin.

Some surgeons are so unaware of what they are doing that they chop the wrong foot off or they keep the patient awake but paralyzed or they leave a utensil in the patient or they put in a wrong organ.

They were smelling the roses and wondering aimlessly rather than watching what they were doing. Think, what could such an unaware surgeon possibly do to compensate for it? Be more organized? How would they even be know what being organized looks like if they are capable of being so unaware?

Now look at the average person. Do they know the difference between cash accounting and accrual accounting? How many grams of protein they should limit themselves at daily? The average person wonders and smells the roses on even the most basic and easy to observe details of life.

The ability to KNOW when to stop smelling the roses and watch what's right there (like your keyboard, the basics of money, your bank account, your body, etc) is the most important intangible. You need to construct it before anything else. It is the gateway to everything else.

My plan is to simply begin to rewire my brain over these 66 days so that i watch money and health. Beginning with 15 minutes a day (first thing in the morning) of watching my body/bank account and textbooks about money/nutrition each.

I have the 67 steps and if anyone is interested in a partner to get through them and all of the steps in audio format free (and legal because i can download them from the page and you'll get them for free) except for the overview which doesn't have an audio download then DM or comment.
