Who we decide to partner with is one of the most important decisions we can ever make. It’s the one person who we’ll spend the most time with and it’s the person whose life impacts us the most. We don’t need to look for perfect, but we do need to look for the one who we feel good around, who we trust, who we can have a good laugh with, and who we can grow with.
Navy SEALs have a saying.
You may find it helpful.
When something sucks, they look at each other and say:
"FULL BENEFIT"
It’s an instant mindset shift.
• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?
FULL BENEFIT.
***
LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity
The message is simple.
Every adversity is an opportunity.
• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better
These moments forge us if we let them.
The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.
Work through the process.
Learn the lessons.
Reap the full benefit.

As far as partners are concerned, I want someone who wants it even worse than me.
And by “it” I mean - whatever is most important to me.
And if we both people feel that way, we both get what we want - without compromise.
Two men set out to build a building.
One lays the foundation for a 10-story building and finishes the entire building in nine months.
The other lays the foundation for a 100-story building and it takes him the entire nine months just to build the first few floors.
The first “being ahead” mocks the second for taking so long. He decides he wants to build his building into a 100-story building to prove how good of a builder he is.
So he tries to add stories on top. He gets to 15-16 stories and then the foundation begins to crack. He starts reinforcing things. But no matter what, he feels he can’t put anymore on top.
Over time, the second guy keeps building and passes the first man.
Two years later the second man completes his 100-story building despite barely having his foundation finished by the time the first man finishes his entire building.
The first man, goes to a mentor to ask his advice on growing his building taller.
The mentor tells him “you need to tear down this building or start another one new”
He says “and waste all the time I spent building this one? Can’t I just add it on top if I just knew how?”
The mentor replies “there’s a lesson here: The fastest way to build a 10-story building isn’t the fastest way to a 100-story building. Your desire to grow fast ruined your ability to grow big.”

A lot of entrepreneurs build businesses as though it’s a race.
And sometimes they reach their goals.
Then they see someone with bigger goals and a bigger business.
They then try to build their business into that business.
But they can’t.
Because the fastest route to a $10M business is often not the fastest route to a $100M business.
Sometimes big things take time. And often that’s what makes them worth pursuing.
Don’t compare a sky scraper to a townhouse six months into building.
@coreypetros Me, me, me, me, me!!! Lolll seriously though, would love to learn from you! Inching @JT_Roegner towards it too ! Gotta take him with me always!
For anyone debating whether to marry a partner:
These 2 lenses were useful:
1) How have my stats changed since they entered my life?
(Wealth, Health, Time)
2) Would I go to war with them?
They flow from what I want:
1) Growth 2) Hard goals
Need someone who can handle both.
Easy model for business growth:
Give first.
Don’t trade.
Give.
To lots of people.
For free.
Without asking for anything.
Keep going until someone wants more. Then you’re good enough to charge.
Until then.
Keep giving and getting better.
If you only wished to be happy, this could easily be accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.

If you continue to compare yourself to others, you will completely overlook what you have in your hands. All you have is all you need to complete purpose.
