  7. Recognize that most activities don’t require as much time as often perceived; focus on efficiency.
  8. Embrace the new rich mindset: living anywhere while sustaining an online income stream.
  9. Understand that risks are inherent in increasing rewards; manage them wisely but don’t be deterred by them.
  10. Experiment, learn from failures, and iterate quickly to achieve success over time.
  11. Prioritize tasks that directly contribute to your goals and cut out those that do not.
