MAKE THEM GO TO YOUR LEVEL

This is another strategy that works to any kind of business, career, situations in life etc. Make them go to your level, never go to their level without enough knowledge or experience or else you will look like a helpless bum. You should know what you can do and stay with that level long enough, stay with your own pace and grind and never try to prove yourself that you're better like them too. 

Like a middle class boy that's trying to impress a rich girl, never go to that girl's level. Stay on your level and let that girl enter your world. Never try to enter the girl's kingdom or else you will suck, you will look weak. You have to impose your will and be yourself all the time. Stay busy working on your craft and leveling up a little bit day by day but never try to change who you are just for the sake of impressing the girl and her family because you will be controlled. Stay on your lane, the girl should follow you, she should be under your power. If she can't stand it then let her go. It's up to her if she can accept you but the most important thing is you shouldn't follow all of her demands or else you will be outclassed all the time. Present her something, tell her all what you're willing to do and there should be a restriction to everything. Stay busy doing your own thing while giving her some time so you will always have an excuse when you need to go or push her aside temporarily. 

Just like an old man playing basketball with young kids. Never try to match their speed, never try to outpower them if you don't have power anymore. Play smarter, use your experience, don't feel overwhelmed by their speed, don't match their skills and make them go down to your level and make them pay. It's simply about knowing the situation, knowing how to slow down the game and be patient. Frustrate them, give them something to think about and never enter their zone. You have to stay being yourself and focus on what you can do. If you will try to chase them then you will gas out, if you will try to force the issue then you will make mistakes. You should stay calm like a spider waiting for the right moment to attack. That's why you need to have a lot of patience, you need to slow down everything and think about what you can do that will put yourself on the best position to succeed. 

KNOW YOUR LEVEL

Define your level and stick with it. Know what you can buy, know your skills, know your perseverance, know what you can do. Know your level and upgrade it bit by bit. The reason why you're always outclassed is because you can't define your strengths. You're always riding on another person's level, you're not being yourself, you don't have confidence in your abilities. That's why it is important to focus on growing yourself every single day. Aim for something, don't just lazy all day and do nothing. You have to look for improvements so that you will feel good about yourself and you can carry yourself in any kind of situation. 

NEVER TRY TO PROVE YOURSELF

Every time you are trying to prove yourself... you are making mistakes, you are making people hate you even more. Don't tell them what's inside of your mind, don't tell them your plans and beliefs. Don't try to impress someone badly because it will backfire on you, people will see you as someone who is needy. Never try to compete with anyone, stay on your lane, stay calm and perfectly still, if someone insults you just stay quiet and act like you didn't hear anything. If someone is trying to belittle you just keep moving forward and go back to your goals, you will have more peace if you're running your own life or business. If you're trying to prove yourself like wanting somebody to believe you then you're in big trouble, it's because you will do anything even if you can't do it. You will try to impress people the wrong way, you will not focus on your strengths. And if you're not focused on your strengths... you're in big trouble. 

ALWAYS BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU CAN DO

You can do something in any kind of situation. You just need to know what you can do, you just need to wait for the right time when you can unleash your abilities. It's like connecting any kind of situation to your skills and knowledge. You don't strike right away, you don't make a move right away, you're waiting for the perfect timing where you can shine and show them what you've got. There is always something you can do, you just need to trust yourself enough and believe that there is a place or opportunity waiting for you. You may lose everything but never lose your self confidence, you have the power to become anything you want if you keep working hard every single day. Hard work creates opportunities, hard work will give you anything you desire.

DO YOUR OWN THING

In any walks of life you should do your own thing. You should be the boss of your own life. For example if you're always getting benched by your coach because he didn't trust you, you must create your own training and belief. You must create your own journey even if he is in control. Create a new story out of the layout that he presents. For example you are just waiting for your time to go in, you're dreaming that one day you will become a star too. You keep on working hard every single day even if he is not using you, you don't get discouraged, you still believe in yourself. You stay ready and your mind is always prepared. And when the opportunity is there, you take as many shots as you can, you believe in yourself and you take risks. It doesn't matter if you fail, it doesn't matter if your coach get mad at you for not following him... your mindset still remain the same and you will do it again once you have an opportunity. It's like you're running your own show once you're in the game, you don't care about anything else. Don't be afraid to experiment, don't be afraid to do it your way, do it your way or else others will do it for you and you will not love the results.
