My number one tools are arrogance and self-respect. I spent a few months visiting a therapist once per week. He said my arrogance is probably the most significant driver behind my success. Statically speaking, I should be dead, in prison, or broke with multiple illegitimate children or addicted to drugs and alcohol. I kept telling myself that I was better than my family members and peers who made those choices. I had to distinguish myself from my entire family to succeed. I am a hyper-critical individual and most of that criticism is towards myself. Every time I do something or make a purchase, I ask myself if I'm treating myself with respect.
