A friend and I were driving home from lunch.

We were at a stoplight.

We noticed a girl walking by.

Head down. Sulking. Arms crossed. Walking slow. It looked like she was going to burst into tears at any moment.

She was dressed in all black with hair dyed the same...

Whatever it is you have been putting off could be the best decision you have ever made.

You won’t know until you try.

@iamjustincscott The flow though 🌊

@ImSteveWalther It certainly is short. People believe they have time.. they do not. Anything can happen and life can come crashing down. I’m happy you enjoy this idea!

[Jon McKinnon @jonmckinnon_]

The longer you wait, the less time you’ll have.

The less time you have, the less you can do.

The less you do, the less fulfilled you are.

The less fulfillment you feel, the less your quality of life is.

Avoid less long term by doing more, today.

Interested in something new?

-Research
-Learn
-Apply
-Fail or
-Succeed
-Iterate

Without research, we never know what’s possible.

Without learning, we can’t apply.

Without application, we will never fail or succeed.

Most importantly, regardless of outcome, we iterate.

What you are running from is what you should be running to.

@thejustinwelsh The schedule flexibility. I used to hate the need to be inside an office for 8 hours per day. Now I work morning, mid day, no days, evenings, whenever I feel like it. It’s delightful compared to prior professional me.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

Build the solution that solves your problems to perfection.

Write the content that speaks to the person going through that problem.

Sell the solution with your personal experiences with that problem.

Build, write, and sell to yourself if you want to eliminate all competition.

@TaylinSimmonds Most don’t bother trying.

[Jon McKinnon @jonmckinnon_]

If you are unsure where your life is headed, shut you eyes and think about your circumstances 10 years from now.

If you keep doing what you’re doing, will you be happier, or worse off?

The pain of regret is not hypothetical. It’s as sure a thing as you breathing.

@neelhome @MindTendencies2 Amen to this man. Inspiring

[Jon McKinnon @jonmckinnon_]

@zachpogrob Good problems to have. Focus on why.

[Jon McKinnon @jonmckinnon_]

@heyjoeyjustice For real facts.

@thejustinwelsh Solopreneurship embodies “less is more” unlike any other modern model.

[Jon McKinnon @jonmckinnon_]

Current life’s mission:

-Grow an audience
-Create a great product
-Learn daily
-Teach daily
-Train rigorously daily
-Have fun and be playful

We are all learning as we go, I am vowing to not take myself so serious anymore.
