The Big Idea: Know Your Endgame In Life. Win Wars, Not Battles. 

• Depression’s function is to tell you to change.
• Ask yourself: when I die how many people will show up at my funeral?
• When Adolf Hitler died, the world celebrated.
• When Gandhi died, the world mourned.
• Most people are rewarded for flurries of activity. Do stuff. Stay busy.
• Parkinson’s law says that people will take as long as you give them to complete a task.
• Consider paying for the task instead of time.
• The battle mentality is getting paid for your time.
• The war mentality is focusing on winning the war over winning the battles.
• Some friends don’t show up but send you immense apologies afterward (flurry of activity.) Other friends just show up (winning the war.)
• Win wars, not battles.
• Know (and write down) your end goals regarding: Health, Wealth, Love, Happiness.
• Reach your goals and you’ll win the war and pass the funeral test.
• Making less than $80k is probably scarcity.
• Your goal may not be to be a billionaire but there is much to learn from their success.
• People are programmed to be happy around other people.
• Remember Dunbar’s Number is 150 strong relationships.
• Win 4 wars for a successful life: Health, Wealth, Love, Happiness.

• Time spent defining your life goals will save you time in the long-run.
• Who is the epitome, for you, of someone who passed the funeral test?
• Do you have a clear endgame for your life?
• What does success in Health, Wealth, Love, Happiness look for you?
