The 5 Types of Wealth

Alex

You helped me turn what felt like getting screwed over at work into an opportunity and a positive. Now I’m leading a line of business larger than anything my old account ever had.

Paarth

The way you spend time with your son and make amazing memories has motivated me so much to work hard and replace my active income with passive incoming - financial freedom > more time to do things you love.

Mike

A while back you mentioned how we have 10 years with our kids as their favorite person. At the time I was struggling a bit having just sold my business and being “just dad”. It helped me settle into my new role and appreciate this time with my family so much more.

Jesse

When I came across Sahil’s content I was in a dark place in my life. Sahil helped inspire me to keep pushing through. The ripple effect is real.

Karthik

I’ve enjoyed following you and hearing your ideas because it feels so real and authentic. It’s stuff from the day to day of a 30 something man who is trying to do the best he can with what he has, and that’s really what we should all strive towards.

Nomit

I have always been someone that has found my way into rooms, meetings, and calls that I shouldn’t via a cold e-mail or message. Your content only reinforced the power of that special communication and it’s something that I appreciated you sharing. I love that you are relentless about preaching is closed mouths don’t get fed. It’s the truth.

Rahil

The philosophy of “anything above 0 compounds” has been life changing for me. All or nothing thinking in the past has caused me to miss out on so many opportunities, so having the frame of mind allowing me to take small steps while celebrating those small wins was amazing for my mental health.

Darren

Absolutely love your content. Genuine! Real! Father of two boys, married 23 years, really appreciate your values on family, health, fitness and quality of life.

Vaidehi

Some of the things I have implemented in my life ex. Not looking at my phone after waking up... waiting 30 minutes to check any social media and messages....also I'm trying to wake up early at 5am and hitting the gym at 5:30-5:45am. Thanks for everything you share

Melissa

Your posts have taught me to reflect deep on my relationships and where I spend my time.

Yasemin

You are truly an inspiration. Your sentence: “Everything you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks.” You changed my perspective - thanks for that!

Allen

Thank you for showing up every day early morning. This helped me to wake up early and put in the work.

Israel

Your newsletter and content have helped me on so many fronts. I’ve gotten out of my comfort zone by putting myself in rooms where I am not the smartest person so I can continue to learn. I’m also in the best shape of my life and your content has helped me achieve said fitness goals.

Zach

As a 34 year old in finance and a husband/father, you’ve been the single most influential source in my adult life. My health, relationships, and career have skyrocketed by using your routines and daily mindset. ... Thank you for being the spark and guiding path I didn’t realize I needed.

Blake

I’ve benefited greatly from your fresh perspectives and your ability to give actionable guidance!

Connor

The most impactful ideas from you in my life have been: Closed mouths don’t get fed, there’s no such thing as a loser who gets up at 5am, the 30-30 approach, silent walks are life-changing, and action doesn’t have to be perfect for it to be right.

Avi

“You’re your child’s favorite person for the first 10 years of their life” This affirmed and motivated my choices to build a business and life that allowed me to be present and available for my newborn daughter.

Audrey

You have a way with making ideas easy to implement and yet they are such impactful reminders in their simplicity but pack a punch in their meaning. Many folks who share ideas like this are coming from more of a pedestal overlooking the crowd- you’re right in the crowd with us - that’s what sets you apart!

Anurag

There hasn’t been a single day where your newsletter does not motivate me to pursue my goals, the activities and all the things help me a lot to deal with relationships, professionally and personally.

Aliya

You remind me weekly about the power I have in my life and have encouraged me to take control of my life and create my own luck because it’s not going to fall out of the sky. The newsletter never fails to empower me or remind me to move on from the past and build my future.

Sagyan

I’ve been starting my mornings early (5-6 am) with a workout and I have noticed a shift in the rest of my day. I feel more productive, especially in parts of my day when I am stressed, knowing that I already have a win under my belt from the morning.

Lisa

I use your 1:1:1 journal prompt most every night. It’s a great release of the bad, a great tracker for wins, and a great way to show gratitude for things in my life daily.

Yaman

The work you are putting in is inspiring people like me to be a better version of myself.

Alex

The thing that has stood out the most is you sharing your story about moving back to the east coast to spend more time with family. Reminded how finite life is and how important family is.

Chad

You led me to rethink my career and how I was spending my time. I quit my job in finance, reprioritized quality time with friends, and regained a focus on fitness.

Jesse

Since reading your newsletter and hearing you speak, I have felt inspired to prioritize my relationships, mindset, and time over anything.

Sam

Reading your work over the past few years really resonated with me. You inspired me to take the leap from a high finance job I hated to starting my own business that I hope will allow me the time to focus on my health, relationships and family. Hearing you speak about getting to the top of the mountain only to realize you climbed the wrong one is something I think about every day.

Patricia

I love that you're real, honest and relatable. Your words make sense and remind me to put life in perspective. I'm motivated by your fitness habits and they remind me that I have a choice every day to move my body and stay healthy.

Asbjorn

Hi Sahil. What has impacted me the most is what you say about doing the old-school things like having a firm handshake, keeping eye contact, showing up on time etc. I really believe those are the small things that compound.

Adam

You continually help me to think holistically, be more self-aware, and focus in on the tasks that will separate me from the rest. If you want to break beyond average, jump in and push into the next level of your development.

John

Hey Sahil, I’ve been a reader for almost 2 years now. Your writing has helped me understand concepts and simple actions for how I can show up better for the people I love and focus on high-leverage opportunities to achieve my goals.

Sunny

I wake up every day at 5 am and am on my run by 5:30. “There is no loser in life that wakes up at 5 am”

Kyle

Your messaging has impacted me mostly by observing your life and seeing you model the values you speak about. From family to fitness to business I feel inspired to live a life that has a strong foundation of values and convictions to live by. Thanks for what you do! I’m better because of it.

John

Sahil has been a must-read for me twice a week every week for over two years Sahil’s writing adds a unique and thoughtful perspective to age-old concepts to help fuel personal and professional success. I’ve leveled up in many areas thanks to his writing!

Ankit

Your messages and way of life are inspiring and motivational, and they ultimately help to provide a grounded, balanced, and healthy path forward.

Leela

Your ABC Goal System and Quarterly and Annual Reviews have absolutely transformed my life. I've made more progress in my career, health, relationships, and personal growth than ever before.

Dante

Insightful advice and wisdom applicable to real-world situations.

Jacob

Your perspective around removing people from your life, really resonated with me; no matter how close (by blood) one might be - if they are creating a negative impact or impression on your life, it’s OK to remove them.

Divya

Your content is so on point. I need to hear it. I need to read it. It keeps me on track with good ideas on how I can upgrade constantly.

Dean

Your content is so relatable to everyone of all ages which is hard to come by nowadays. My goals haven’t changed but my perception & my perspective on life has shifted immensely for the good, a lot of it thanks to you.

Jonathan

The consistent positive affirmations of a focus on the process is a wonderful reminder.

Robbyn

Sahil's nuggets of info to live a wholesome fulfilling life is the first thing I look forward to hearing every single morning. Second is seeing his insanely adorable son that I’m obsessed with!

Alexa

Your drive and dedication is inspiring, along with your "gives no shits about the opinion of others" mentality.

Xylina

I went from Net Worth focused to Self Worth focused and serve my community through that lens which has brought more happiness and healing into my life!!

Akshay

The sentence - "Everything you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks"! Such a powerful statement to think about how the process > prize.

Yash

I just read your piece on the Paradox of Time. To say I got hit emotionally by a train is an understatement. Thank you for writing this, and for allowing me to read this before the stroke of midnight as I enter the last year of my twenties. I will make sure I remind myself to cherish every moment, my family and close friends, and my happiness each day.

Pauline

Thanks to you I got back from a nasty burnout & depression, gained confidence, and signed two book deals in the upcoming 6 months. You made me change my attitude towards being pro-active, confident about sharing with the world, and trusting that my people would find me.

Monica

Your authenticity and humbleness inspire me. On days when I am feeling low and lazy, I remind myself of the feeling after doing the movement. This pushes me to move!

Dennis

I am not a fan of “influencers” or cliche online gurus but I think you have created your own category of an online persona. You are genuine and interact with your audience which is rare. I am trying to model your work ethic, courage, rawness, ability to make money in many ways and stick to your crazy consistent routine.

Andrew

I particularly have loved "Choose your hard" and "Everything in life worth having is on the other side of something that sucks"

Carerra

I’m sorry I can’t put it in a sentence or two - That would do injustice to the impact you’ve had on me.

Ryan

Sahil sharing his curiosity has created ripple effects into my own life. Through his content and writing I have a greater sense of control in my life and a higher confidence in being able to get shit done.

Mohamad

I’ve learned to find joy in the journey, spend time with people who matter, and to continuously reflect on the direction I’m heading in. In the end, I don’t want to be old, regretting things I could’ve done

Michael

You have made me more thoughtful about lifestyle design and encouraged me to think about what a well-rounded life looks like for me. Success is not about focusing on “winning” instead, it's about doing the things that you can control well and in domains of life you care about.

Jordan

I’ve been applying some of Sahil’s frameworks to my own life and appreciate the new level of discipline I’ve attained, especially when it comes to fitness and health.

Scotty

I started going to equinox at 5am, haha thank you!!! NO such thing as a loser who wakes up at 5am to workout!

Kashish

Your idea of "paying rent each day to earn that fit body" has helped me stay active every day. Thanks and yes, Rent is due

Deidre

This quote from Sahil spoke to me: "Be curious and spend time with great people. The rest will take care if itself." Words I plan to live by from here on out.

Harsh

The "bring the after to before" idea has helped me face challenging tasks. I wrote a letter to my future self after seeing you read yours. I admire how you handle relationships and how you walk the talk. Your positive ripples have definitely reached me.

Akir

Your cold bath inspired me. I started having a cold shower after workouts and it’s really a step forward to defy my limits.

Matt

Your ideas and tactics have completely shifted my mindset and my actions for the better & also inspired me in many ways!

Vincle

When I met you I realized that you genuinely practiced what you preached and your humility was something I’ve never seen in anyone before. Thanks for inspiring me and a thousand other lives!

Emma

Best part about what you do is the consistency and discipline you demonstrate everything you do - it motivates me

Griffin

Quote that kick started my fitness journey was from you. “There’s no such thing as a loser who wakes up at 5am and works out” You changed my life and your work is amazing.

Parita

So much relatable and inspiring content without being preachy. It’s helped me think differently about the important stuff in life.

Pall

Your “increasing your luck surface area” has changed my life, thinking and interactions ever since I understood the true meaning of it.

Jeraldine

I started to exercise more often, do ice baths and wake up early because of you! I feel you've been a great role model to me- someone who excels in health, career, relationships and who also gives back to make this world a better place.

Ryan

I know I’m late to this but your newsletter has helped me reframe my mindset around so many things which in turn, has improved my life immensely. The one on 20 lessons from an Imperfect Father to a Perfect Son really hit home. Particularly the points around having direction tied to ambition and delayed gratification.

Mayur

One thing that has impacted my life in a great way is "doing hard things makes life easier"

Ken

Being close to 70, one has a tendency to get set in one's ways. Your newsletter has served to challenge some of those ideas––with me and those with whom I interact. It has stimulated exciting thoughts and new ideas and has caused me to reconsider a few longly held beliefs. Thank you so much for that.

Hugo

You’ve been a positive influence and motivator for me and many others. You’ve helped me to focus on building myself to be better and grow each day with a more ‘no nonsense’ mindset and attitude.

Meg

Waking up to your email and reading the story on choosing whether I want to be the 20k rare stone or the 2 dollar rock tugged at my heart and hit me hard. So, thank you. Time to make a big change in my career. This is a sign and it came from you.

Andrea

I’m a lawyer and I resonated with a lot of the things you said about your story and the changes you and your wife decided to make. Your words and content have really encouraged me to reflect the last several months on what’s important to me in life. You’ve inspired me a ton to figure out my path, thank you.

Vijaishree

Your consistency in deliverance every week and the way you put amazing insights to parables and stories is just amazing.

Justin

Always appreciate the positivity you put out there. So much better than hustle porn that most are putting out. “Doing hard things” has pushed me to push harder than I would have previously.

Gayana

I've implemented the idea of delayed gratification and it has done wonders for me..especially when I need a nudge to do workout. In love with this quote of yours.. Whatever you need in life is on the other side that sucks

Noah

I appreciate your regular reminders of the potential in all of us to be a source and conductor of positive ripples — and how that state of being is built brick-by-brick by small daily actions.

Andrew

Not only has your work challenged my approach to teach, mentor and equip my students for life during and beyond UCLA, but I am now starting a life coaching certification course so I can begin working with clients and building a small business. I know this will pave the way towards creating more time when I’m ready to start a family and be a Dad — this was inspired by you!

Jenna

Thanks for being a big part in helping me find myself again. Your positive words and wisdom give me hope to continue to rise above!!

Jacob

Your content inspires me to overcome self-imposed obstacles, challenges conventional wisdom, and offers valuable reminders and frameworks that enhance both my well-being and my professional and personal performance.

Molly

Your insight on time management/productivity habits (especially AM routines) has changed my life. In a 4-month period I’ve grown my very small business from about $500-$1,000 a month to about $5-$6k a month (all as a full-time SAHM).

Niam

You have absolutely changed my life and my perspective on the world.

Your posts consistently lead my thoughts and conversations with the people in my life to a deeper conversation. It is a higher quality and in-depth conversation.

Aishwarya

Make the coffee. Thank you for introducing me to this. This helps me become a better person, for myself and others.

Arthur

The ideas you share have made me happier, wealthier, and in better shape.
