The Gucci Mane Data to Greatness

Good morning!!

So after devouring Gucci Mane’s autobiography remaining week – now one amongst my favorites – I rapidly snapped up his most up-to-date e-book hoping to get some further notion into his success, “The Gucci Mane Data to Greatness.”

(FYI Gucci’s a platinum promoting recording artist/rapper/producer)

Sadly it wasn’t just about nearly practically pretty much as good as the primary one and really self-indulgent at conditions, nonetheless regardless of the half bare photos of himself on each fully completely different internet internet web page there have been some good gems in there 😉

And I’ll admit, I maybe didn’t get as reasonably quite a bit out of the e-book as others may attributable to being on a self-improvement kick for over a decade now. Do you must’re merely beginning out by your self personal journey it’d merely be the kick all through the ass it is a should to flip up the burners!

Nonetheless, it was a fast be taught and saved my curiosity ample, and now it makes me wish to work out LIKE CRAZY seeing how ripped you may get in a comparatively quick time-frame! He primarily went from 300 lbs and on medicine the complete time all through the remaining e-book, to now completely sober and 100 lbs leaner (!) merely just some years later, now out of jail and OWNING his life.

And if he was dripping with confidence as soon as extra then, you presumably can solely take into accounts how assured he feels now 😉 (Subsequently – all of the half-nude pics!)

It’s a fairly inspiring e-book on that regard, nonetheless provided that you just understand the background and what a drastic journey he’s been on. Nonetheless, it provides you hope that you can be actually change your life for those who want it ample and put all through the time. He mentions repeatedly there are not any secrets and techniques and methods and methods to these devices – which I appreciated to take heed to – nonetheless should you might commit and keep in mind in your autonomous the world is at your fingertips.

Correct proper right here have been my favourite strains from the e-book – presumably they’ll encourage you too?

You every observe quitting in some other case you observe worthwhile.

“All individuals’s going to fail in some unspecified time eventually, so which one are you going to be? Are you going to be any explicit one who’s faking, not going exhausting, and making excuses? Or are you going to be the one who’s acutely conscious, who’s teaching and pushing your self to do what’s appropriate it doesn’t matter what it’s? I now know who I’m and what I wish to do. So cease underestimating your self and simply do it.”

(That remaining half is a vital half – figuring out WHO YOU ARE and what you wish to do… It’s exhausting to chase one issue for many who don’t know what you’re chasing or what you keep in mind in.)

Chances are high you may change the narrative.

“We’re the authors of our lives. We’re the writers of our non-public tales. We now have the facility to say who we’re and what we wish to be… Do you must don’t much like the story you’re dwelling, change the narrative.”

(Constructive constructive constructive to all of this! Do you must’re not dwelling the life you at all times wished in your self appropriate now, change the story and make some strikes! It doesn’t need to be like this endlessly – you may have the facility to alter it up on *any* given day. Even correct now!)

The quite a bit a lot much less you want the extra you may have.

All minimalists will acknowledge this one 😉 And it applies to further than merely the “stuff” in our lives too. Notably even FIRE! The quite a bit a lot much less it is a should to maintain off, the quite a bit a lot much less it is a should to avoid wasting up/earn! An epiphany I had just a few years beforehand that absolutely blew my concepts as widespread sense as a result of it is. As Mr. Cash Mustache famously acknowledged:

“A extremely extremely efficient concern to notice is that reducing your spending value is way extra extraordinarily environment friendly than rising your earnings. The reason being that each everlasting drop in your spending has a double affect: it might enhance the sum of money you may have left over to avoid wasting a number of a variety of every month, and it absolutely decreases the quantity you’ll want each month for the remainder of your life.” – The Shockingly Easy Math Behind Early Retirement

Daily is an opportunity to get bigger.

100% true. Study from yesterday and do your greatest, nonetheless correct now could possibly be a model new day and should you’re lucky ample to nonetheless be on this Earth respiration, push your self to make the right of it! Even when it’s merely 1% day-after-day! All of it compounds, and the situations are going to maneuver anyhow…

Keep away from lazy and depressing individuals.

This one’s so good:

“For individuals who begin dwelling by this precept. You’re wanting all through the mirror and telling your self, “Hey man, I rely upon pretty a bit out of you.” You’re demanding the right out of your self. You might be your greatest asset. And for many who get rid of individuals spherical you who may disrupt that, you cease being naive. You flip into further acutely conscious. A lazy and depressing mindset ends in a lazy and depressing life. So keep away from lazy and depressing individuals.”

Pay attention to ladies. They’re good.

No additional rationalization wanted 🙂

You’ve acquired to do further for those who want further. There isn’t any secret to it.

YES!! You do widespread, you get widespread. You do quite a bit a lot much less, you get quite a bit a lot much less (typically talking). All people must get wealthy and well-known nonetheless not all individuals must put the time in. Until you’re Matthew McConaughey whose autobiography I’m discovering out now (so wild!!) you’re gonna ought to up your sport for those who want one factor extraordinary on this life. It doesn’t counsel you need to hustle endlessly, nonetheless should you’re chasing one issue greater than your self you’re gonna ought to buckle up and immerse your self…

(I’ll say, although, that the one concern I did *not* agree with on this data was the fixed reminder to hustle hustle hustle and defend going after “further”. Everyone is conscious of you need to grind and a few seasons is more likely to be longer than others, nonetheless in some unspecified time eventually you may should have the facility to know for many who’ve reached “ample.” I’m unsure Gucci will ever come to that half irrespective of how worthwhile he’s been.)

In no way let being appreciated get in one of the simplest ways by which of being revered.

That is maybe my favourite line of all of the e-book, nevertheless in addition to definitely one among many hardest to regulate to!

“Don’t compromise your ideas or your integrity merely to slot in or be appreciated. Don’t succumb to look stress or waver on what you stand for. Being revered is approach further helpful than being appreciated. Not all individuals goes to love you. That’s merely the truth… For individuals who’re too targeted on being appreciated, you begin to make choices that don’t mirror who you is more likely to be. You begin trying to please individuals. If you happen to begin trying to please individuals, you lose sight of who you is more likely to be and the place you’re going.”

(And naturally that is each true in relation to your actions, alongside together with your purchases. I.e. buying for fancy garments, automobiles, homes, and so forth to level off bigger than to learn from… which there’s nothing improper with should you genuinely like them and might afford ’em! Nonetheless all people is conscious of persons are inclined to over-extend themselves all through the set up of wanting good and turning into in bigger with constructive teams of individuals…)

Every do what you say or cease saying it.

Love this one too reasonably quite a bit!!  Begin doing one issue about it or cease complaining… As pal of mine likes to say, “I’ll be conscious of your complaints twice. As rapidly as appropriate now, and one different time later. After which it’s achieved or solved, and you’ll’t complain to me about it as quickly as additional.” Complaining feels good, but it surely absolutely completely will get you nowhere… Every begin doing one issue about it or defend it to your self!

No one cares. Work tougher.

One completely different good one:

“I acquired these phrases of data from Lamar Jackson, quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens. I uncover myself saying it in my head repeatedly. I at all times return to it, nonetheless it may presumably’t actually offer you any solace. Since you’ve started working exhausting. That’s what it’s. It doesn’t matter should you’re sore, should you’re tried, should you’re behind on the funds. No one cares. You’ve acquired to maintain up going.”

(I wish to ponder it as “no person cares” about your life as reasonably quite a bit as YOU get hold of this take administration and do your concern, nonetheless this interpretation works too… No one cares about what’s occurring behind the scenes, they solely wish to see the outcomes! And sadly to get to these outcomes it takes a great deal of exhausting work and pushing by means of the frustrations to grasp ’em… (together with ignoring all of the individuals who actually need you to fail!))

The world certainly not stays in place…

“Chances are high you may’t maintain in place. The world certainly not stays in place, so how are we going to remain in place? How are you going to be like, “Okay, I’m good.” Then two years from now, you’re going to be good? No. You’re not going to be good, man. There isn’t anyone who’s safe on this planet, man. The world retains spinning. We may all fall off at any time… That’s why it is a should to be ready, have a backup plan, and make correct now rely.”

(And in addition to why you gotta keep it up adapting!! Your opinions and plans! Factors change. You modify. The world modifications. Do you must’re always holding onto your outdated ideas/habits you’ll be left behind whereas all individuals else strikes ahead… Settle for the modifications spherical you and defend adapting!)

God blessed you with two ears and one mouth so that you simply presumably can hear twice as reasonably quite a bit as you discuss.

“I’ve acquired additional money. I’m rather more calm. Life is means smoother. Nonetheless after I didn’t have it, I made much more noise coming down the street. I wished all people to take heed to me… For individuals who see a bunch of individuals, the loudest ones are normally individuals who don’t have one factor occurring. They’re individuals who wish to begin a big quantity. All those that’s acquired one issue occurring, they’re calm. They’re respectful and good.”

(Stealth wealth at its best 😉 There’s no must attraction to further consideration to your self for many who’re already worthwhile! Additional listening, quite a bit a lot much less yapping!)

After which lastly, correct proper right here was merely an fascinating nugget I appreciated since you at all times assume singing or displaying are peoples’ passions, nonetheless normally it’s solely a solution to an finish:

“With my music, it was certainly not about being a rapper or waking up making music. It was absolutely fully completely different for me. I didn’t begin rapping at eighteen and instantly was dope. It wasn’t a childhood ardour of mine, one issue I dreamt about as a child. It was at all times, “How can I be artistic ample to be productive ample to make a dwelling off of rap? How can I flip my 2005 tax returns into an infinite one?” By 2007, it was, “How can I make use of further individuals? How can I signal bigger artists?” The albums have been solely a software program program to get me the place I’m trying to get to, which is monetary freedom. That’s how I at all times approached rapping.”

Efficiently, it couldn’t have been a dream of his but it surely absolutely completely optimistic is a helluva decision to get to FI! And nevertheless another excuse to go “all in” should you’re actually good at one issue, whether or not or not or not you’re keen about it or not… Get as reasonably quite a bit as you presumably can out of it, after which change it up later when you’ve capitalized on all of it! Or defend going should you identical to the pleasurable of the hunt!

It’s fairly apparent Gucci likes the pleasurable of all of it, so until his mouth stops working in some unspecified time sooner or later I’m fairly optimistic we’ll proceed listening to from him 😉 Which I truly like – he’s a bit excessive, but it surely absolutely completely’s exhausting to disclaim how far he’s come. So thanks for placing all of it within the market for us, GM! And I’m glad you’re as soon as extra on the prime and staying there!

Correct proper right here’s to all of us turning into bigger variations of ourselves… All we’re able to actually shoot for 🙏🙏
