Spend your time / money differently than average people

If you find yourself spending a significant amount of your free time doing things that lots of other people are doing, you should ask yourself, "Why will I become more successful than them if I'm behaving just like them?"
- Examples of things that most people spend a significant amount of their free time doing: watch TV, watch movies, play videogames, watch sports games, talk / gchat with their friends, go out to restaurants, go shopping, listen to music
Free time at work is profit! It's the same thing as if you had started a business and had a profit coming in. You need to be smart about how you spend that profit. It may not be worth reinvesting that profit back into the business that generated it; it may be smarter to reinvest it in another project / direction.
