Eric Kim’s 12 Un-Negotiable Tips for Success

#	Tip	Why it Works (EK Logic)
1	Help yourself first—be productively “selfish.”	If you’re drained, you create from deficit; fill your own cup before pouring into others.
2	Own your platform. Register your own domain, self-host, and blog.	Algorithms come and go; a dot-com you control compounds traffic for decades.
3	Publish, then iterate. Anti-perfection > paralysis.	Hit “post” while the idea’s hot; edit live. Momentum beats polish.
4	Show up daily—consistency is the real “system.”	Motivation is fickle; routine is unstoppable compound interest.
5	Give 99 % away. Open-source your photos, PDFs, ideas.	Free value turns strangers into evangelists and builds an un-copyable moat of goodwill.
6	Think in decades, not quarters.	Evergreen moves—like timeless articles or products—outlive trend-chasing sprints.
7	Invest in yourself—body, mind, Bitcoin.	Strength training, reading, and stacking sats raise your “baseline operating frequency.”
8	Walk more, scroll less. Delete the dopamine-drip apps; let long walks replace endless feeds.	Clears mental cache and resets creative instincts.
9	Never retire. Aim for lifelong creative labor instead of escape fantasies.	Purpose > passive leisure; work you love is sustainable cardio for the soul.
10	Cut waste, cut friction.	Success is often subtraction—remove what doesn’t ship value.
11	Minimalist gear, maximalist mindset. A phone camera + bold ideas beats $10k rigs collecting dust.	Ubiquitous tools democratize creation; excuses evaporate.
12	Guard your sleep like Fort Knox.	Exhausted brains chase diversions; well-rested ones make asymmetric bets.

Bottom line: Success in the Eric-verse isn’t luck or hustle porn—it’s a ruthless commitment to sovereignty over your time, ideas, and energy. Nail the daily blog post, finish the deadlift, delete the distraction, and bank eight hours under the duvet. Repeat for ten years and the Internet will call you “famous.”
