Dylan Vergara argues successful people focus on high-leverage activities with outsized returns. He names content creation, business ownership, and sales as games worth playing, and recommends posting daily reels and improving 1% each day to reshape your life over time.
If you're a man who wants the finer things in life, you owe yourself this temp check. It just crossed my mind that a lot of people have never gotten this, which is basically taking a little bit of time, analyze what you're doing right now, and fully stop and think if you're playing games that have outsized return potential. All the most successful people you know, the business owners, people on social media, people with cool cars, and even non-material things, people with great relationships, great families, kids, whatever you might want, they were probably able to get there sooner than the average person because they were playing A game with outsized returns, meaning for what you are putting in, the upside so much bigger than the downside. One of those things, content. One of those things, business ownership. One of those things, the right career. These people that are going getting 6 figures of student loan debt to do one very specific thing for the next 40 years, that is not an outsized return. But starting a business, getting into sales, those things allow you to condense time and get where you want to be faster. So stop and think, are you in the right opportunity? So many people that I know could change their lives by posting one reel a day for a year, maybe even 6 months. You don't even have to be good at it. That's the crazy part. I know ambitious people that just are not playing these games. They are not rolling the dice, so to speak. They're just banging their head against the wall the slow way, the hard way. There's no merit in doing it the hard way. I'm not telling you to take shortcuts, but just make sure you're in the right arenas, the arenas that can present you that upside. Time in the game, right arena, 1% better every day. Do that for 2, 3, 5 years and tell me your life doesn't look different after.
