3. Get Rich Advice from the Broke Brigade

Listen to Uncle Bob, who’s been on his couch since '93. He knows best. 🛋️

Find someone who hates the idea of you working. Bonus points if they loathe ambition!

Failing once means you're doomed forever, right? Best to retire early.

Believe in fairy tales. The world owes you one, doesn't it?

Embrace your inner couch potato. Why stretch when you can relax?

If everything isn't perfect, why even bother starting? Chaos is scary!

16. Sideline the Important Stuff

Avoid what matters. It's probably not that important, right?

17. All Talk, No Action

Say you'll do it. Just don’t actually do it. Talking feels so much better!

18. Follow the Crowd

Do what everyone else is doing. Individuality is overrated anyway.

Aim to be as unremarkable as possible. Blending in is the new standing out!

Knowledge without action is like a car without wheels. Looks good, goes nowhere.

28. Hire the Least Bright Bulbs

Surround yourself with incompetence. It’s less intimidating.
