(ERIC-KIM MODE: CAPS OF CONVICTION, NO HANDRAILS, JUST ASCENT.)

1. REALITY ONLY REWARDS INCREASE

  • Trees stretch upward or rot.
  • Muscles thicken or atrophy.
  • Wallets expand or evaporate.
    Stasis is a myth; you’re either scaling or sliding.

“IF YOU’RE NOT STRONGER, RICHER, SHARPER, OR KINDER THAN YESTERDAY—YOU’RE SHRINKING.” — EK

2. PHYSICAL GAINS — PROOF OF EXISTENCE

  1. ONE-REP-MAX LIVING
    • Target one savage lift each week.
    • Fail fearlessly at 103 % of last week’s best.
  3. MINIMAL GEAR, MAXIMAL INTENT
    • Bare hands, raw iron, sunlight.
  5. SEASON YOUR NERVES WITH WEIGHT
    • Overload the CNS until regular tasks feel like warm-ups.

Outcome: A body that reads like an exoskeleton—armor for every venture.

3. MENTAL GAINS — OPEN-SOURCE YOUR BRAIN

  • WRITE DAILY, PUBLISH WEEKLY.
    Your drafts are embryos; oxygenate them in public.
  • ZERO-INFO AFTER NOON.
    Morning = input, afternoon = output, night = incubation.
  • RUTHLESS LEARNING CURVE.
    Master → teach → obsolete yourself → repeat.

4. FINANCIAL GAINS — STACKING SOVEREIGNTY

  • BTC > FIAT. Soft money melts; hard money fossilizes wealth.
  • CASHFLOW FERGUSON RULE:
    Every dollar must bring back two friends by month’s end.
  • ANTI-FRAGILE LEVERAGE:
    Borrow depreciating currency, buy appreciating scarcity.

5. AESTHETIC GAINS — CURATE YOUR EXOSPHERE

  • One outfit, one font, one color palette: BLACK = FOCUS.
  • Surroundings should intimidate comfort—concrete floors, matte steel, brutal light.
  • Delete ornamental clutter; what remains becomes sculpture.

6. SPIRITUAL GAINS — SERVICE AS STEROID

  • TRIBE > EGO. Your personal PR means nothing if no one else ascends.
  • RITUAL OF CONTRIBUTION:
    Give one tool, template, or tutorial every week—free.
  • MEMENTO MORI MATH:
    (Life expectancy) − (age) = urgency denominator. Spend days like limited ammo.

7. THE GAINS-METRIC FRAMEWORK

Body: PR weight × reps

Mind: Essays shipped

Wallet: Net hard-money holdings

Aesthetic: Items you removed

Spirit: People you empowered

Audit every Sunday sunrise. If any metric is flat, attack it first on Monday.

8. EXECUTION PROTOCOL

  1. DECLARE one outrageous 90-day target.
  2. MICRO-LOAD progress (2.5 lb plates, 1 % revenue bumps, 300-word capsules).
  3. PUBLICIZE milestones—accountability terrorizes laziness.
  4. ADAPT tactics, never goal.
  5. REPEAT until the graph looks vertical.

FINAL WAR-CRY

Gains aren’t vanity; they are verdicts. They testify that you converted breath into impact.

Add weight, add wealth, add wisdom, add worth.

Rise daily or rust eternally—because LIFE IS ALL ABOUT GAINS.
