‘deep work’ is a normie npc wagecuck trait

think abt it

who promotes deep work online? silicon valley junior software engineers working for google

every book ever written about deep work has been targeted at them

if u really abt business then you should minimize the amount you spend in ‘deep cuck’ and should maximize the amount of time you spend on the landline telling other people to do shit while your wife is screaming at you for not increasing her credit card allowance for the 3rd month in a row

few

i like it when people i don’t like make a good point because it makes me realize my prejudice against them was always just a defence mechanism to avoid admitting i’m not as smart as i thought

google algo changed around a week before BFCM, right?

2 email lists im managing saw a random drop from:

40-50% open rates to 25-30%

nothing has changed, list hygiene obviously on lock, ip reputation 'high' and spam rate <0.3%

stats been same since BFCM

anyone else see this?

you don't realize your anxiety comes from confusing "i can't reach my goals" with "the goal is not worth the sacrifice"

most of us can achieve more than we believe. think about what you need to sacrifice – and decide whether your goal is worth it

if not, make your peace with it

@kreativekasper truth in this (up until a point)

[Kasper⚜️ @kreativekasper]

Hot take:

Don’t be an entrepreneur.

Be an INTRApreneur.

hear me out…

Josh, the guy flying in business class, joined our team recently (not taking any credit for his success).

And he’s living this so-called “agency owner lifestyle,” flying wherever the hell he wants, working when he feels like it, with freedom.

And here’s the reality check:
as an intrapreneur, Josh makes almost 3x my salary.

Meanwhile, on my 10-hour flight to Bangkok, you’ll find me crammed into 54A in economy 😅

But that’s not even the crazy part.

He doesn’t have to stress about clients ghosting payments, or the government showing up with a fat tax bill all of a sudden.

All he’s gotta do is master one skill, and just produce results. All the rest? Not his problem.

Yet, these online gurus will shove this
“don’t be a slave, be a boss" bullshit down your throat, selling you a fantasy where entrepreneurship is freedom.

Meanwhile, the “employee” is sipping champagne at 30,000 feet, and the “owner” is sweating in the economy stressed the fuck out lol

I’m not saying one is better than the other.

It’s just not so black and white.

In a lot of cases, you’re way better off playing the intrapreneur game and leaving the 24/7 stress circus to someone else.

Cause right now, as the founder:

• I’m juggling plus minus 40 clients,
• Leading +10 team members,
• And stressing about feeding everyone’s family, not just my own.

After years of non-stop pressure, I can say without a doubt, this shit ain’t for everyone.

You need to thrive on chaos and keep your head ice-cold when everything around you is on fire.

It’s not the “easy money” narrative they’re selling you.

And then you see mfs talking about “making 10K per month”?

Bro, they’re always using “business revenue” as if it’s their paycheck🤣

Technically, yeah, “I mAkE $100,000 a month”

but in reality, I’m taking a bare minimum salary just to keep the margins looking sexy for the P/L.

Do I have freedom?

Yes, but at a price that most aren’t built to pay.

Some of you might have that psycho gene to love the grind, to eat the pain that comes with it.

But some of you? You’re better off linking up with a solid team, finding a killer founder to work with, and crushing it as an intrapreneur.

Something to think about.

To live a life with true alignment, aim to make yourself proud.

Since you can only be proud of yourself if your actions are in line with your values and desires.

If your actions don't align with your beliefs, you can't be proud of yourself. And you'll stray from your path.

Most people delay their happiness for the big things.

The big month with your business. Your wedding day. Your son getting a scholarship to an SEC school. Buying your dream car.

They derive their happiness from what they believe should make them happy...

And treat each small step towards them as work with payoff in the future.

But life is not a few big things separated by periods of mundane day-to-day small things.

Life – like the big things – is just a collection of the small things.

That big month is a collection of deals you've closed and the clients you've churned.

That wedding day is a collection of dates you've gone on and the fights you've had.

That scholarship is a collection of days playing catch and house arresting your kid for mischief.

The secret to a good life is finding happiness in all the small things that make up the big things.

No matter if they're good or bad.

@RevRonin young is a state of mind right

[rob ⚜️ @arrowmvn]

Not the case for me to be honest

When it's go time, I neglect my diet, training and relationships

I become a worse version of myself when I'm deep in the trenches

[Jackson Blackledge @blvckledge]

you become the best version of yourself when you’re deep in the trenches

Work hard. Lift heavy weights. Wake up early. Organize your life. Educate yourself. Eat steak. Take risks. Cut off bad habits.

do it for 3 months and you’ll come out a completely new person
