1/ Doing small things consistently over time will result in pain-free gains you'll enjoy for a lifetime.

As a Dad, the advice I give to my kids is to stay consistent, understand the value of time, and invest in their well-being.

Here's the type of advice I give them:

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@davidlovejoyx Congrats David! Well deserved.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@Imonittoday So sorry to hear about that.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@TheMattViera This proves you can make anything happen with the right priorities and plans in place and still be productive.

Hats off to you Matt.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@Elliott__ When things get tough, I only look one hour out at a time to be sure I'm staying in the moment.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@Elliott__ Sounds stupid when you put it that way - LOL!

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@Elliott__ Courage, grit, and grind.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@Elliott__ Don't just list product features. Show them how their life will be better using the product.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@MattRomagna Be prepared.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@Elliott__ Choice is an amazing word!

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

Motivation before there's "emergency motivation" is the best way to create a better financial situation for you and your family.

Identify what drives you and lean into it.
Get that pen and paper out and journal what really excites you.

If there's money to be made - Get on it!

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@Elliott__ I’m guilty of forgetting that at times.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

Reminder to self -
Success is not just about reaching your goals, it's also about enjoying the process and finding fulfillment in the journey.

Embrace the uncertainty, learn from the setbacks, and appreciate every step forward. Success is a mindset as much as an outcome.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@Dave_Geoghegan_ That's why large corps actually embrace regulation. They can handle the costs while it squeezes competitors out.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@Elliott__ It is. They are very meaningful but huge effort for most to embark on today.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

The power of a handwritten note:

It's amazing how much impact a few written words on paper can have. They are so rare to receive that I pin them up so I can see them daily.

Take the time to write someone a simple note.
Your writing and its impact will be genuine and heartfelt.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@Elliott__ Like the simple math.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

Life is too short to waste on things that don't bring you joy or fulfillment.

We spend approximately 1/3 of our lives working and 1/3 sleeping. Roughly, of course.

That last third is what's left for family, friends, hobbies, vacations - everything else.

Let that sink in a bit.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@thesagartejpal True.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

How do you know you're on the right path in life?

Do you measure your success in terms of dollars or happiness?

Is there a balance that can be achieved, or are you simply compromising if you seek one?

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@Arman_Officialx So is there a balance you should be striving for?

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@thealexxroy Absolutely!

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@Elliott__ Exactly. Commit then execute.

[Derrick Hakim @DerrickH]

@jimheskel Eventually or it might as well be a hobby.
