From constantly thinking about business to sacrificing health and relationships, these habits did make me financially free, but they also came with real trade-offs that I'm now trying to unlearn in my 30s. If you're on the journey of building a business or trying to get rich, I hope this gives you some inspiration but also some caution about what you might be giving up along the way. ⌚️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction 00:41 - Habit 1 03:14 - Habit 2 06:26 - Habit 3 08:01 - Habit 4 09:45 - Habit 5 10:53 - Habit 6 12:30 - Habit 7 14:30 - Reflection PS: I donate 10% of my income to charity every year.

Claude's new features are insane #ad

I've been using @claude for 2 years, but Claude Code and Claude Co-work are on another level #ad Claude Code: I was intimidated at first (terminal = scary), but it's not just for coding. I've connected it to all my files. It knows my projects, goals, and ideas. It can generate content from transcripts, help with my courses, research stuff overnight while I sleep. Claude Co-work: Same power, better UI. I use it on my Mac to build presentations, do deep research, and search the web. If you still think AI is just a chatbot on a website … things have changed. It can access your files, run tasks autonomously, and actually do work for you. If you'd like to try Claude, head to http://clau.de/aliabdaal2  #ClaudePartner #Ad
