to get what you want, deserve what you want

want to get fit?
hit the gym consistently and eat good food.1
there’s no specific diet or workout plan.

want to get to know a person?
just say hi to them.
(or tell them what about them made you want to get to know them)
there are no right words or techniques.

want to pass exams?
study. just put in the hours.
there’s no optimal studying technique.

want to get financially independent?
earn more, spend less, invest the difference.
there’s no better-detailed strategy.

want to launch a startup?

basically2, make something people want.
everything else will fall into place.

To get what you want, deserve what you want.— Charlie Munger
