10 Critical Lessons From the Book "Atomic Habits"

1. Focus on the Process, Not the Product

Goals:

- Set direction
- Restricts happiness
- Momentary change

Systems:

- Long term change
- Keep you motivated
- Best for making progress

Winners and losers have the same goals.
It is the process that separates one from the other.


2. Small Changes Compound

Success is the result of daily habits.

Positive compounding:

- Master a new skill
- Automate old tasks
- Complete 1 extra task

Negative compounding:

- Stress
- Anxiety
- Thoughts

The quality of our life is determined by the quality of our habits.


3. Make 1% Improvements

Mastery requires patience.

How to make small improvements:

- Win tiny battles
- Make small shifts in direction
- Make a choice that is 1% better
- Break larger goals into smaller ones

Make small adjustments, and the results will be massive.


4. Change your Identity, Change your Habit

You believe what you tell yourself.

When you say:

- I am healthy
- I am a leader
- I am successful
- I am an investor
- I am a pre-millionaire

...You change your mindset.

When you change your mindset, you change your life.


5. Progress Requires Unlearning

To improve, constantly edit and upgrade your knowledge.

How to unlearn:

- Travel
- Be open
- Meet new people
- Stop procrastinating
- Get out of your comfort zone

Learn to unlearn.


6. Time Magnifies the Margin Between Success and Failure

Patience is a virtue.
Good habits take time to form.

How to create better habits:

- Make it easy
- Make it obvious
- Make it fulfilling
- Make it attractive

The most powerful outcomes are delayed.


7. Knowledge Compounds

Investing in your knowledge offers the highest return on investment.

How to compound your knowledge:

- Read quality books
- Take quality courses
- Find quality mentors
- Seek quality relationships

Knowledge builds like compound interest.


8. Focus on your Current Trajectory, not the Destination

Your trajectory determines your destination.

How to change your trajectory:

- Change your habits
- Change your mindset
- Change your purpose
- Change your influences

The journey is the destination.


9. Overnight Success Takes Years

It takes the average millionaire 28 years to hit $1 million.

Success takes:

- Effort
- Focus
- Failure
- Passion
- Discipline
- Consistency

Your habits today build your future tomorrow.


10. Design your Environment for Success

You are a product of your environment.

To be successful, create a world where:

- You thrive
- You eat healthier
- You push yourself
- You exercise more
- You minimize distractions

Control your world before it controls you.

Rush the process in the beginning and you will soon find yourself making mistakes & start to doubt your abilities!

Focus on building a solid foundation, 1 topic at a time until you feel 100% confident!

A good education is a foundation for a better future.

Stay patient

CONSISTENT INVESTING+COMPOUNDING PROFITS=WEALTH CREATION

I attribute most of my success to the above. You’ve heard me say “Always Be Investing” before – that’s what I do. I make sure to always budget out and add new money into the markets on a regular basis. It’s a monthly obligation for me, just like any other expense I have. I’m putting new money into new positions or adding to existing positions at least once a month (NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE THINKS THE MARKETS ARE ABOUT TO DO). You can tell me the markets are 100% going to crash in a week, and that won’t deter me from buying, as long as I like what the company is about long-term.

And then I put the cherry on top by compounding my profits. What exactly does that mean? I make sure to keep my profits invested in the markets. If you think it’s time to sell and take profits on a certain company, that’s perfectly ok! But there’s a difference between selling and taking profits to your bank account and selling to reinvest profits. By reinvesting my profits, I’m increasing my basis, which means I’m now much more invested in the markets. That’s how you start an avalanche affect of making money on money. Get it!

This is ultimately the quickest way to creating wealth and generational wealth!

Payment juggernauts Visa ($V) and Mastercard ($MA) go head to head this week�. Both are compounding businesses with dividends and valuation rapidly growing in tandem. Vote for your favorite in the comments �
.
▪Visa and Mastercard are growing businesses, with some lackluster dividends at face value. Their business model shines through its profitability. At 48% and 42% Profit margins Visa and MA profit 48cents and 42cents for every dollar in revenue. This is the dream.
.
▪Both sport solid balance sheets, however, $V seems to be a touch more fortified. Both the companies are growing their dividend at roughly 19% CAGR which can grow into a healthy yield on cost over time.
.
▪Visa has a more established robust business, but MA is nipping at the heels. Visa operates more in North America whereas Mastercard is more internationally. Which one of these two stocks makes it into your portfolio if you can only choose ONE

Taxes can be confusing! Here’s a guide on how & when stock capital gains are taxed.

Stocks owned for less than one year are considered “short term capital gains” when they are sold for a profit. Short term capital gains are taxed as ordinary income based on your current tax filing status and income bracket. Picture these gains being added onto your paycheck from your employer...they are taxed at the exact same rates.

Stocks owned for one year or more are considered “long term capital gains” when they are sold for a profit. Long term capital gains have their own bracket and are taxed at favorable rates. The lower tax rates encourage longer term investing.

The long term capital gains rates in the table in this post reflect tax filers with “Single” status and “Married Filing Jointly”.

Hi folks.

I bought some stocks via Chaka platform. I've only continually bought more of same stocks over the last one year.

Are stocks bought through such platforms entitled to dividends and bonuses?

If yes, how do I go about registering for ẹ-mandate form in order to receive dividends?

One of such stocks is Guinness.
Yes you are entitled to bonuses & dividend, but who is their broker in Nigeria?

Did you register as an individual or custodian account?

In the case of trove, their broker is ARM securities and if you registered as a custodian, your dividend is paid directly to your wallet/account.

Good morning.

Actually insane how some people wish to be lord over their superior. You sat at your palace and order people to divulge sensitive information to you, abeg as what again. Just because you created a WhatsApp group. I was removed long ago because I refused to send my investment details to him, now that he is going haywire on this scheme I just pray its not with ulterior motive as this is still our belove Nigeria.

Please some other person should create a Democratic WhatsApp group were we can share solution to our plight. Adminship is now a source of arrogance and is not welcome. The betanurse guy should come down from the high horse of adminship. If at all that must be done he should set the tone by displaying his own on the group and not asking for sensitive information.

*Key Areas of Todays Meeting.*

People suggested to the MD that the 10% should not be charged for those who wish to terminate their contracts considering the fact that they also faultered on their own part of the agreement. MD didnt give a straight reply to that.

MD assured people of the safety of their funds.

The management talks about working with or partnering a Microfinance bank soon

The MD talked about making ID cards available for Contributors to enable them have more benefits of BARA products and services.

MD talked about having an online system/wallet to enable people invest online. Some people were worried about this and adviced that the process should not affect the smooth running of the business.

MD also informed that some contributors are blacklisted and will be given back their money and will never have anything to do with BARA because of the how they reacted or confronted the business during the challenging times.

MD also informed that those who went for 6 months and 1 year contract can choose to change their plan to 2 years to be on the 10% plan.

He also informed that it takes a minimum of 35 days to get back capital when you terminate but never gets to 2 months.

He also informed that many people wanted to initially terminate when they got informed about the BOC reduction but later changed their minds after reassurance.

He assured of a smooth sailing business henceforth and prompt payments of BOC.

He also stated that meetings like this will take place from time to time in order to listen to contributors reviews and suggestions.

These are a few I can remember for now. I was also late to the meeting so probably missed a few things.

Good day house, please my husband did a semen analysis at a lab center around 9am but from the lab attendant her boss came to collect the sample around 12pm of same day to take to his lab for examination, my question is that hope the delay between the semen ejaculation and sample collection won't have an effect on the result
it will, maximum time from collection of sample 30mins, 3hrs will not give accurate results, he might have to repeat the test.

Good evening,my wife used this Dr Greg rapid test kit today ,we have been excited cause her period hasn't shown up for like two weeks,she's been showing signs of pregnancy or maybe just our mind playing tricks on us....

U need to have seen the sadness on her face when it came up with only one line..

My question is did we check too early cause it's 2weeks and no period?

Do we need to visit the hospital to confirm the test?

And her period has been normal so we really don't understand
Congratulations! Go for a PT

I still think the initial setup costs are crazy and I'm not sure how much of this will be driven down by innovation. Specifically for cars, it's a no-go-area, the infrastructural deficit we have cannot allow for renewable energy support in the next 20 years.
Initial set up may be expensive but considering fueling, repair and maintenance/servicing, it's best you go for electric cars and renewable energy especially now that we are advocating for a better climate.

Lol, you they compare car with mobile phones lol. grin

I get what you may be driving at but it doesn't work like that. The cheapest Tesla is current $38k, that's about 20m. So you're saying it will become 2m in 10 years because of innovation grin

Something we are not discussing here is how renewable energy usually have higher upfront costs. A basic 1kv solar set up may cost 200k, gen of that size fit no pass 40k. Also solar setup works for basic appliances, i no sure say e go carry A.C and if you get mad sun for your side you still need gen.

[b]Summary of it all: [/b]Petrol will be in demand in Africa for at least next 15 years.
it's works for AC's there is AC inverters. Kindly Google it.
