For years, I've answered the question "How are you?" the same way: "Absolutely incredible."

Not because life has always been easy. Because I chose it.

Choose your mindset before the day chooses it for you.

My new book is coming soon.

Tom Hopkins: Choose your attitude before the day chooses it for you.
Dan Miller: "What does this make possible?"
@bobby_kipper: Performance is a choice.

None of us become who we are alone.

Who shaped the way you think?

[David L. Hancock @DavidHancock]

Some of my favorite thinking happens on a walk.

This week I took Absolutely Incredible along with me… read in my own voice.

That's right — Absolutely Incredible is coming as an audiobook!

The book isn't even officially out yet, and I've been so grateful to hear how its message is already resonating with people. Now you'll be able to take it with you. On your commute. At the gym. On your own morning walk.

Details are coming soon.

Today, we choose:

Faith over fear. Gratitude over negativity. Purpose over drifting. Response over reaction. Progress over perfection.

This is how we live.

Which one do you need most this week?

What does aligning with an established name or brand do for your credibility?

My friend @ericvanderhope asked me that during the Published to Profit Summit, and it’s a great question.

Credibility is borrowed before it’s built.

[David L. Hancock @DavidHancock]

Nobody claps for the ordinary days. But those are the days that are actually building your life.

You don't rise to a big life in a single leap. You compound into one.

Consistency compounds. And ordinary days matter more than we give them credit for.

So today, an ordinary Wednesday, do the small things well. It counts more than you think.

📖 Absolutely Incredible! is available for preorder.

I've noticed something after working with thousands of authors.

The writers who eventually hold a finished book in their hands are rarely the ones with the perfect manuscript.

They're the ones who kept writing, kept learning, kept showing up.

Eventually, progress became a finished book. Perfection never would have.

Choose your attitude before the day chooses it for you.

[David L. Hancock @DavidHancock]

In the 90s, everything I was building collapsed almost overnight. Bankruptcy. Real loss. A season I never saw coming.

For a long time all I could see was what ended.

Then a mentor's question reframed everything: "What does this make possible?"

Failure may change your plans. It doesn't have to change your purpose.

Recovery has emphasized the "Mostly by faith," but every day it's been on purpose.

The biggest thing between most authors and success isn't the market.

It's the story they tell themselves. "I'm just a writer." "Marketing isn't my thing."

Authorship today is entrepreneurship. You're a visionary, a strategist, a marketer — not just a writer.

Success starts within.

📖 From The Babylon Blueprint for Authors

[David L. Hancock @DavidHancock]

Sometimes God slows the opportunity because He's still preparing the person.

I've been reminded of that in a very personal way this year. Recovery has taught me patience in ways I probably never would have chosen for myself.

Healing has a pace. And trying to outrun that pace doesn't make healing happen faster. It only creates more frustration.

Maybe waiting isn't the interruption. Maybe it's part of the journey.

You don't rise to the level of your intentions in pressure. You fall to the level of your preparation.

If you could see the whole path, it wouldn't require faith. Faith doesn't follow clarity. It creates it.

Someone once told me, “I’ll get my mindset right when things settle down.”

I said, “That’s like waiting for the ocean to stop moving before you learn to swim.”

He laughed… but he got it. You don’t wait for calm. You choose it.

What is currently choosing your mindset for you? Your schedule? Your stress? Other people's expectations? What would change if you chose first?

A day without intention is a day spent reacting.

Exciting News! @BobBurg, bestselling co-author of The Go-Giver and friend, wrote the foreword to Absolutely Incredible. I'm honored!

Here's a sneak peek at what he says. (Preorder link in bio.)

Everyone gets the same twenty-four hours.

The question is not whether we have enough time. The question is what we are doing with the time already passing through our hands.

This is not a book about doing more. It is a book about living better.

The Babylon Blueprint for Time: Ancient Wisdom for Living Well in a Noisy World. Coming soon.

#Time #Author

[David L. Hancock @DavidHancock]

Early in my career I moved between two circles.

One was always focused on problems. Who dropped the ball. Why things were hard. After being with them, I felt drained.

The other asked: "What are we going to do about it?" After being with them, I felt stronger.

Same person. Different environment. Different outcome.

You don't just need the right mindset. You need the right people reinforcing it.

From banker to guerrilla marketer… this is how one mystery book on my desk changed everything.
