The 7 Long Lost Skills You Need Right Now - But Are Rarely Shared...

Message from the Rock Star Team

Hello!! Happy Thursday!

That’s Nick waving hello from the sunny shores of the Dominican Republic.

He finished up his morning run and gym session as the sun was rising over the ocean.

Nick will invest in his physical fitness like no one else I’ve ever met.

He’s almost 46 years old and he’s running, jumping, lifting, pulling, pushing and climbing like a teenager.

It’s incredible to see the discipline he has to his physical fitness.

Whenever we’re travelling together, anywhere in the world, one of the first things he’ll do is search the area for local gyms to visit.

I have a lot to thank Nick for and teaching me about physical fitness is one of the big ones.

I had no idea how a deadlift was supposed to work. Pull-ups when I was 40 years old were only a dream. I had never pushed a sled, squatted, rowed, completed a tabata, or swung a kettlebell around.

Today, not only can I do a bunch of pull-ups, I’ve done muscle-ups on the bar and on the rings.

The domino effect of all of this was fascinating.

I changed my diet, lost weight, gained some muscle…and that was all great.

But the confidence I gained from pushing myself was much more incredible. I underestimated the amount of mental toughness and resilience I would gain from the whole process.

Upon reflection, I’m shocked that all of this stuff wasn’t taught much more thoroughly in our school system.

That thought then led me to reflect on ALL the big things that our schools are not teaching…but are necessary skills for life.

1. Reasoning from first principles. Problem solving by breaking down complex subjects like economics and health to the most basic, foundational elements.
2. Resourcefulness. The ability to gather information from multiple sources in quick fashion to gain an advantage over any situation.
3. Persuasion and influence. The book Influence by Robert Cialdini made me understand how important it is to be able to persuade and to spot persuasion. How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, was excellent as well.
4. Statistics. It’s super useful to be able to understand trends using different data points. For whatever reason, we humans, struggle to extrapolate mathematical trends. But if you are able…you can spot and ride large game-changing shifts in careers, investing, and business.
5. Resilience. The capacity to withstand and recover quickly from difficulties. Toughness. Both mental and physical.
6. Entrepreneurship & investing. The ability to begin, run and operate a business. Our schools teach us skills to work IN a business but not how to start one for ourselves. Sales, marketing, accounting, operations etc. And then how to analyze and buy different assets.
7. Communication (outward and inward). How to write, how to read and take notes, how to speak in front of people and how to listen. But not just outward communication. How to communicate with yourself to tackle life’s problems and make important decisions.

h/t @Devin_Eriksen_ who promoted this line of thinking again for me.

Of course, there are some schools and some teachers who do a decent job at some of these. But it’s rare to find them all being covered.

I’m no expert in all of them but I have spent some time focusing on each of them.

For the first one, reasoning from first principles, we have attempted to make sense of the Canadian and global economy using that strategy for years.

And it’s turned into a little something we call the “Rock Star Economic Update”.

It’s where we share our deepest findings and don’t hold anything back.

We have felt, for a long time, that if we understand the economy and the money game we can out maneuver and front run the financial madness of our times…and live life on our own terms.

That's why we're pumped to announce a brand new Rock Star Economic Update at the upcoming...

With this Economic Update, we're going to share the earth shattering generational trends ahead that will impact every part of our lives: the digital economy, interest rates, debt cycles & real estate are on the verge of changing forever!

But it's not just the economy we're talking about...

Nick will be sharing insights from his deep dive into property prices, tell us what we can expect for real estate in the Greater Golden Horseshoe area, give us the latest on population changes, financing trends & housing supply data.

Plus, we're doing something brand new this time!

For the first time ever, we will have an all-real-estate panel discussion with some of the best analysts and insiders who know the ins and outs of Ontario's real estate market more than anyone.

This is the information advantage you need as a real estate investor. And as a Canadian trying to protect yourself from monetary debasement.
