How @X For you Page Changed My Life…

I was at my job feeling stuck and wanting a new opportunity. I was spending hours applying for jobs and interviewing only to have no luck

I put in over 200 applications over the last year and just felt like nothing was going my way

Life rewards action, not intentions

The older I get, the more I realize that life is about experiences

Nobody looks back and wishes they spent more time scrolling

Most founders treat content as marketing

The best founders treat content as leverage

One post can:
-Land a customer
-Attract an investor
-Recruit talent
-Create partnerships

Content works while you're sleeping

Get posting!

Putting yourself out there feels uncomfortable and that’s okay because
growth usually starts where comfort ends

Content creation is modern networking

Every post is an introduction
Every comment is a handshake
Every conversation is a potential opportunity

Start using social media to make connections and get ahead!

Hard work isn't always exciting

It's answering emails when you're tired
It's posting when nobody engages
It's showing up when motivation disappears

The boring days create the extraordinary results

Have a bias for action

Be a doer more than a thinker

A lot of top bankers in 1929 made the equivalent of $100M a year working 6 hours a day.

I just read this in Andrew Ross Sorkin's new book, 1929.

- One guy's routine was wake up at 6, workout, get to the office by 10, and home by 5.
- Another took the whole summer off in Europe. The boat ride was 3 weeks each way.

I’ve read about other examples of super successful people like this. Andrew Carnegie barely worked, Ted Turner (who built CNN) would disappear 3 months at a time to race sailboats professionally.

But then today we see a lot of people talking about how hard work is necessary to do great things.

They likely grinded to get there. But it's important to know what season you’re in.

Don’t compare your spring to someone else’s summer.

There are seasons to grind, and then there are seasons to rest.

Happy Friday! Finish the week strong, build momentum heading into next week!

How to never run out of content ideas:
-What are you building?
-What problem are you solving?
-What mistakes are you making?
-What are you learning?
-What do you believe that others don’t?

There is months of content for you...

Building in public is one of the greatest hacks of the internet, it helps you create an audience before you need one

Most people wait until they're successful to share their journey

The winners share the journey while they're still figuring it out

Life isn't about avoiding suffering

It's about finding something worth suffering for

Your personal brand should answer one question:

"What do you want to be known for?"

Then build from there

The difference between average and exceptional is often just willingness to be uncomfortable longer
