New Year's Resolutions for 2026
📌 The speaker outlines three resolutions: stopping complaints about Western mismanagement, taking exercise more seriously, and executing better on personal investments.
🛑 Resolution one involves ceasing posts regarding perceived mismanagement in Western countries due to anger and the "never-ending" nature of the issues.
💪 Resolution two centers on a new mindset towards exercise: treating days without illness as a "gift" to train the body, acknowledging aging beyond 20.
💰 Resolution three is to elevate investment execution, following a highly successful 2025 where net worth doubled and the crypto portfolio saw a 3.81x return.

Global Economic and Political Trends
🌍 The UK is facing a significant outflow, with more millionaires leaving than any other country, partially attributed to removing the "nondom regime," a key financial draw.
⚖️ Western countries are criticized for hostile regulation (e.g., EU tech fines, UK social media arrests) while nations like the UAE and Singapore actively attract entrepreneurs with secure and favorable tax setups.
📈 Countries offering a good quality of life and attractive tax schemes (e.g., Italy, Portugal, Cyprus) are seeing wealthy individuals move there, fueling local economies.
💡 The trend accelerates as work becomes more digital, forcing countries to compete to attract the best people and entrepreneurs.

Investment Opportunities Amidst Change
🏘️ Massive global shifts create obvious investment opportunities, particularly in real estate in rising locations, contrasting with declining markets like central London (down 35% from peak).
👑 Cities showing massive millionaire growth over the last decade include Shenzhen, Dubai, and the Bay Area, while Warsaw, Poland is noted as the only European city in the top tier of growth.
🔍 The strategy is to look for "new winners"—countries playing their cards right (like Cyprus improving non-dom schemes and lowering crypto taxes) rather than relying on legacy assets.
📉 In crypto, the speaker's successful period in 2025 occurred when Bitcoin stabilized after a run-up, allowing capital to flow into higher volatility altcoins, a pattern they favor.

Personal Growth and Long-Term Strategy
🧘 The speaker emphasizes the concept of "seasons"—intense work followed by deep recovery—as essential for sustained performance and mastery, rather than constant average effort.
🏆 Mastery requires time in the field/market; this seasonal approach helps stick to one domain for decades, contrasting with others who quit due to boredom quickly.
🛑 Success is identified as a dangerous spot where the risk of becoming "fat and lazy" increases; the antidote is constant improvement (Kaizen).

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Vote with your feet: Realize you have the mobility to move if your current location's policies hinder you, rather than just complaining.
➡️ Property Investment Focus: When buying property, analyze which countries are successfully attracting capital (e.g., UAE, Singapore) versus those driving wealth away (e.g., UK).
➡️ Exercise Mindset Shift: Treat days of good health not as normal, but as a gift and an opportunity to train, especially as one ages past 20.
➡️ Stay in the Game: For investment success, find a sustainable method (like seasonal work/rest) to stay invested long enough for gradual improvement to compound.
