How to Live Above Average

Scrolling around social media in the entrepreneur space has more or less the same message.

Keep grinding. Rest when you’re dead!

Mediocrity is the enemy!

Make tons of money. Live luxuriously.

Keep hustling ‘till you die!

Okay, there’s a lot more to entrepreneurship than that — but you’ll see those themes a lot.

At first, I loved it. I’m young. I want to make six-figures fast. Retire early. Achieve financial freedom. Own a yacht.

But slowly, the luster has faded.

It’s not that I’m not motivated or ambitious. I don’t want to live a mediocre life either.

It’s just that I don’t think I need the glitz and glamor of Insta-perfect vacation retreats and fancy cars.

I’m perfectly happy living, well… above average.

I still want to work hard. Making six-figures and up is still the goal. But it’s not some all-consuming force where I feel like my life is lacking.

Instead of living large, I want to live comfortably. I still have goals — they’re just different from my dreams of an uber-wealthy lifestyle.

So what does living “above average” look like for me?
