In order to be the 1%, you must be willing to do what 99% aren’t

You gotta do what you love every day. People ask me how I get motivated. The answer is doing what I love. It’s waking up knowing I can pursue my passion.
I openly admit that I’m trying to be a recognizable figure in culture. And so that’s what I’m doing. But likewise, if you wanna be a music producer or a photographer, do that.
Elon Musk talked about how you can’t change the world on a 40 hour work week. It’s true. And although he got a lot of criticism for it, I can agree. If you wanna make a giant impact in the world that will change culture, the way we live, or whatever your dream is, you should be putting in the work. Now, it may not be 100 hours sure. But you gotta figure out how much it will take to achieve whatever your ambitions are.
So many people out here having the audacity to ask for a life of 1%. They want the financial freedom, the fancy cars, mansions, whatever. I get it. Good for you if that’s what you want. BUT. They don’t wanna put in the work. They want a 1% lifestyle on the work ethic of the 99% of the population. That’s fucked up.
If you TRULY want it. If you genuinely want to achieve your dreams, it should be your passion, your obsession. Every possible moment that you can dedicate towards your dream, you should. That said, you need to figure out your work life balance. For me, my work is my life. And so I can dedicate more time to it. But I’m empathetic towards the fact that some people wanna watch Netflix or chill with family. I get it. Do you.
I’m putting in the work. I have a strong work ethic. And I don’t pander to other people’s opinions of perfection. You do you. Find your idea of happiness and reverse engineer your actions around that. But don’t complain when you don’t achieve 437 million dollars on a 37 hour work week.
All I ask is that you make your actions map your ambitions. Simple.
