No one gets fired more often than the CEO of a business.

Each time an employee quits, the CEO gets fired.

Each time a client leaves to a competitor, the CEO gets fired.

It's a tough job filled with CONSTANT overwhelming pressure.

That's why it pays so well.

A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let’s make history together. 🟡🔵

People are generally good, it’s just the bad ones we see the loudest. Our human brain is wired to pay more attention to negative events because of survival.

Never disqualify yourself before the world even gets a chance to see you.

Rigged or not, apply, speak up, show up.

At worst, you’ll learn. At best, you’ll arrive.

[Leila Hormozi @LeilaHormozi]

You don’t rise in business by being smart.
You rise by being relentless about learning.
Most people plateau because they’re more committed to looking competent than becoming better.

Everyone's looking for the hack and the hack is patience.

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

I promise you, your problem you have right now, someone else has solved it before.

That brilliant idea that you thought was uniquely yours, somebody else had the same one.

That huge failure you have, another has had bigger.

You are not alone, everyone is just figuring it out.

I'm 38.

I wasted 10 years learning this the hard way. But I'll teach you in 4 minutes.

If you're soft, quit reading now.

Here are 29 uncomfortable truths I wish I knew earlier:

[Tim Denning @Tim_Denning]

At 26, I had a career plan.
At 34, I quit my corporate job forever.
At 38, I have no rules and am free.

If you’re feeling lost, read this.

15 life lessons I wish I knew sooner:

[Tim Denning @Tim_Denning]

1. Optimize for mental health, not wealth

Plenty of careers can make you rich. But you end up stressed out 24/7.

And stuck in meetings with time wasters.

Real wealth is peace of mind

[Tim Denning @Tim_Denning]

2. Losing everything is spectacular

The humility + struggle forces you to be better. There's only one way out: survive

“Sometimes it takes losing everything to realize what you had." – Todd Saville

[Tim Denning @Tim_Denning]

3. Life plans are stupid

Nothing ever goes to plan. Entropy runs the world. Learn to embrace chaos.

Every bad news event is an opportunity

[Tim Denning @Tim_Denning]

4. The meaning of life is to experience nostalgia

Use it as a decision-making framework. Ask yourself: "Will this help me experience nostalgia?"

Nostalgia is why I stayed in banking for 10 years. I look back on it every day & love the wild stories.

[Tim Denning @Tim_Denning]

5. Understand the circle of life

There's no avoiding the circle. Embrace it instead of fight it. Life gets easier.

6. Become a ruthless action-taker

If you want to truly learn, you have to do stuff.

• You have to leave the cocoon of your home and take risks.

• And travel to other countries to see how people live rather than being told by the news how they live.

Action produces wisdom.

[Tim Denning @Tim_Denning]

7. Comfort is a sign of a lack of growth

Comfort feels good for a while until it turns into a plateau. Then you feel terrible.

Experience more discomfort.

• Gym
• Sales
• Public speaking
• Building a business

If you're not growing you're dying.
