⏺What my 23 year-old millionaire mentor taught me!
It was about a year ago, when I had quite a long, in-depth conversation with one of my mentors. It's funny, because at the time, he was only 22 years old. There was, and still is nothing special about the guy. In fact, his belief system was so low for me, that he told me to my face that I will never be able to be a Billionaire (which really pissed me off, but anyways).
He taught me quite a few lessons, but I wanted to cover mainly one of them today.
He told me this nifty little acronym.. K.I.S.S. - Keep It Stupidly Simple.
From that moment, I have been pretty addicted to it! It keeps me on my edge, and constantly helps me be productive. The reason he is so successful isn't because he is the smartest guy (he isn't). When I talk to him about figures, he cringes. Yet, he rocks around his university in his black Rolce Royce Ghost.
So what characteristic allowed him to be able to make his fortune? Let me tell you.
He never over-thinks anything. See, he stuck to his acronym.
Most people never finish what they set out for themselves to do, because they talk themselves out of doing the task before they've even begun. What my mentor did was he came up with a plan that he could work on at anytime of any day, and then he did it! He did it for 16 hours a day for like 2 years. What he did differently is that he made sure his action plan was stupidly simple, so he could never have an excuse.
Now, I get it. Some of you will say, "But I don't have a plan so simple that I can use...". Yes you do! By thinking that, you are over-thinking! Keep things simple.
Let me give you an example if you want to become great on Steemit.
Steemit K.I.S.S. Plan:
Step 1: Make at least 1 blog post per day.
Step 2: Comment genuinely on as many posts as you possibly can in a single day.
Do those two steps every single day, to the best of your ability for 2 years straight, and you will have a 99% chance of success. (1% in case the entire world decides to explode or something like that!)
See what I mean? There you have the best formula ever created. Now just go and use it.
Every time you feel like you are taking too long on any given activity, just remind yourself to keep it stupidly simple and then adjust yourself accordingly.
I hope you guys took some value from this post. Actually, who am I kidding? Of course you did! So leave your thoughts in a comment below. I enjoy interacting with you all!
More than how much this post can make, I care far more about getting my content in front of newer faces. So if you would like to show your appreciation, it would be awesome of you to resteem this, and share it with others!
Talk soon guys.

I have a similar moto that helps me accomplish a lot more. "Never let perfect get in the way of better"
Making small easy changes will always improve things.
Spending too much time on looking for perfect often results in nothing getting done.

That's a brilliant motto. I like it a lot! It's true, the reason for that is because perfect simply does not exist, so we will never be satisfied.. We just need to get at it!
Nice comment. Thanks for stopping by :) Talk soon.
That's how you do it! I see big things coming your way 😎🙌🏼
Hey my dude! I can say the exact same (plus some) for you! Let's go! These are some really exciting times.
Thanks for stopping by. Talk soon.
Man this is spot on! I find myself overthinking what post I'm going to write and exactly how to say everything, when in reality, I just need to put my ideas on a page and go to the next post. The biggest downfall of people these days, is they overthink stuff. Whether that's in relationships, business decisions, making friends, working out, etc. They doubt themselves because they aren't confident. But that's the thing, be confident, keep it simple, maintain a positive attitude, and STAY CONSISTENT. Consistency is the key in everything. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome comment my man! Very well said.
It's true, I mean I was regarding to Steemit in this post, but the concept applies to absolutely everything! Another valid point you made was about confidence. It's so true. If you were confident in your abilities, you would second-guess things for even a second. That's as simple as it gets hey!
Keep things up! You are awesome. Talk soon.
I've always heard it as Keep It Simple Stupid but I like this one better. Stupidly Simple seems to make it sound less negative. It's definitely something I need to do more often and I think it allows you to just take action.
Yeah I heard of that one too.. I just don't think "Simple Stupid" makes much grammatical sense at all.. :P It's 100% there to motivate you into action! Thanks for stopping by once again my man!
Wow great advice. Very simple and does not take too much to commit to the two steps, even during crazy working days. Keeping things simple makes it easier to move 1 step forward each day, and by the time you know it, you have moved the mountain! Great post. Upvoted and resteemed.
It's exactly that. Even if you are making small efforts each day, as long as they are easy enough to do, you won't get too tired.. And like you said, eventually you have moved a mountain!
Now let's move our mountains!!

Good to see you again my dude @sergiomendes! Thanks brother. Really appreciate that. I am trying to be unique with a few small things to build around from the beginning.. One of them being the thumbnails, and the other being the blue square in each of my titles.
Thanks for stopping by my bro! Talk soon.
Yeah that is great ❤ i hVe noticed that before. But havent yet comment with you. It is a great choice by the way.
Thanks brother. It was actually a little risk I decided I would take.. It could either go pretty decently, or quite terribly, so yeah awesome :)
I think it was worth it. I am probably follow your example. Cause i thought about it as well. But havent
Nice post. In the Army we used the KISS acronym but we called it keep it simple stupid. Same thing I guess.
Haha yeah, I meantime it before, but Simple Stupid just doesn't make sense to me.. Like grammatically it's incorrect.
Thanks @Hoss403. Appreciate you leaving your comment. Talk soon.
Really great post and I love ur K.I.S.S so simple but means so much😊
I think we have a tendency to make things so much harder than it has to be......we get so blinded we cant se whats right in front of us.
Dont just look....open ur eyes and see
Thx for sharing
So true! It's such a common thing for people to over-complicate things.. We just need to do it!

Yes I belive we will talk again soon.
Have a godnight and great week

Ok its the middle of the night here😊
Good morning then and have a great day..lol
Sort of where my name here comes from. I believe creating wealth isn't that hard. There is always a simpler way for things. If something seems too hard, there probably something one can do to make it simpler. With wealth creation especially, there are simple ways, which will most likely guarantee you'll create wealth. There however is always a trade-off. With easy and simple wealth creation that is, time. It takes time to create wealth. It might take a decade or two to make a million, or even more, but once you hit a million it'll take less than a decade to hit the next million, if you so wish.
So I take it a step further and eliminate the factor of much effort for stupidly simple wealth creation. Wealth creation is actually so stupidly simple that you don't even need to see much effort. Unless you need to learn how to save from your income.
It really is that simple. You are the only one to ever discuss that concept directly with me. It's the main thing I believe in with wealth. Not sure if you have seen it, but I actually made a post of this very topic 10 days ago. Check it out. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
