18 Habits That Changed My Life...

🌟 ICYMI 🌟 

This year, I made a significant amount of money, more than I’ve ever seen in my entire life. But here’s the kicker…I was already living the exact lifestyle (from travel to social) as I do now, even when I had literally no money. How? Simply by incorporating these 18 habits in my life…

As always, if you prefer audio, you can find it on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!

P.S. Most of these habits are inspired by my ‘20 Ridiculous Habits I Stole from Silicon Valley Entrepreneurs’ series on Instagram. However, this goes deeper into how I actually incorporated them, how they transformed my life, and the tactical steps you can take to adopt them tomorrow.

4 Life-Changing Lessons from 4 Consecutive Summers in NYC

1. Money Can Buy Happiness (Up to a Certain Point)
   Each year, I slightly upgraded my living situation, and eventually, I no longer felt the downsides of the city—excessive trash, rats, bugs, or the burden of lugging heavy items. With these upgrades, my quality of life improved, showing that money can indeed buy happiness, but only to a certain extent.

2. You Can’t Find Success Unless You Find Your Playground
   This year, I tripled my following—a major goal of mine—because I allowed myself to play. As a city girl, NYC in the summer became my playground. It wasn’t until I embraced the inner child in me and indulged in that playful energy that I found my spark and finally mastered my art.

3. Professional and Personal Friendships Come from Different Sources but Are Equally Critical
   It’s essential to seek both types of relationships, as they often come from different people. After quitting my job, I over-indexed on the “networking hustle” and expected professional relationships to fulfill my social needs. That was disappointing. I realized how important it is to invest in “fun friends,” even if their work and life values differ from mine.

4. Love Something Enough to Let It Go
   I’ve experienced my greatest successes with money, creativity, and relationships when I became deeply obsessed. NYC is a profound obsession for me, and it has been the backdrop for some of my most transformational experiences and achievements. However, like anything amazing, it can become a double-edged sword. Sometimes, I get so caught up in it that it starts to become a distraction. Learn to channel your obsession into incredible work, and then let it go, so you can return to it with renewed energy.

Happy end of summer ☀️
