đ€Ș Are you crazy?
Don't worry about CRAZY! The only thing you should fear is NORMAL!




The surest sign you are on the path to mediocrity and a vanilla life is if no one thinks you are crazy.
Working out 7 days a week is âCRAZYâ!
Not going to university is âCRAZYâ!
Starting your own business instead of getting a job is âCRAZYâ!
There was a time when if you told someone about investing in crypto, considering inflation, or learning about AI, you were âCRAZYâ!
I know plenty of centimillionaires and a couple of billionaires, and the one thing they ALL have in common is that, in the average person's eye, they were âCRAZYâ!
Now, to be clear, just because someone thinks you are crazy or weird doesnât necessarily mean that you're on the right path. You could just really be weird!

But if everyone's always known you as an extreme person, you are unlikely to end up in the same place as everyone else.
Crazy can often be a compliment.
I remember being called crazy when I was 16 for buying domain names and trying to sell them back to celebrities.
I was called crazy for thinking I could open a strip club when I was 24 and compete in a world populated by gangsters and licensing problems.

I am called crazy for having multiple business interests and still wanting to take on more.
Crazy that I like to spend my âdays offâ reading and attending courses.
Crazy because I donât take drugs and donât drink much alcohol.
Crazy for committing to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with no experience and only 2 weeks notice.
But when you're at the top, no one calls you crazy anymore.
They call youâŠ

If you are working 24/7 to try to achieve your goals, if you are training twice a day, 7 days a week, if you avoid TV, video games, drugs, and alcohol, if you canât be bothered to gossip about the latest reality TV 'star' thenâŠ
Do not worry about the occasional label of âCRAZYâ!
It means you're either headed to the very bottom or the very top of life.
But at least you aren't headed to normal.
