what im thinking about the most rn:

- Mexico

- how to continue to increase my surface area for luck

- how to make the most of the opportunities because I know I’ll be given more if I knock it out of the park

question I’m sitting on:
- what is the simple way of doing it

[Kido @kidotheone]

holidays are expensive when everyone is on holiday

peak traffic is the worst time to drive

lining up in the slow lane at the theme parks during the busy season

instead gotta learn to break pattern and position yourself outside of the usual schedules

do it when no one is

[Kido @kidotheone]

gotta learn to ‘pattern break’

somebody asks you how you are

you don’t say “good”

(robot script)

instead u start saying “I’m at peace” or “living the dream” or “getting everything I ever wanted” or “life is easy”

will drastically shift the conversations u find yourself in

[Kido @kidotheone]

it’s a symbol society

look at what most do when symbols pop up and do something else instead

easiest time in biz is when symbols are present

Christmas Day, Black Friday, Easter Bunny, Valentines, Halloween +more

every biz has its own version of bull run every year

[Kido @kidotheone]

friendly reminder that if they truly wanted to help you they already would be

[Kido @kidotheone]

the biggest secret about the vintage industry

is it’s a weight business not a fashion business

you’ll learn more from studying the oil industry and applying its fundamentals to used clothing at scale

than trying to read more books on style trends

[Kido @kidotheone]

time saver hack:

say “you’re right” and “thank you” often

gotta minimise contentious interfacing with people who will never get it

and don’t explain urself to people who are committed to misunderstanding u

depth of perception varies

[Kido @kidotheone]

What would you ask for if the answer was already yes?

[Kido @kidotheone]

all masculine magnetism is downstream from how close a man is living to his edge

personal challenge forces u into a different energy stratosphere

a man can be comfortable while completely restless in his spirit

or

a man can be choosing discomfort while being at peace

[Kido @kidotheone]

as a man

to make the most out of life

there is no halfway loves

only open surrender

you all in on your goals knowing you could fail miserably

you love your woman knowing she can shred your heart into a thousand pieces

you leave home knowing you may not return

[Kido @kidotheone]

I spent years alone in my shed by myself doing work

that shit wasnt cool

it was boring af but it built the important foundation

my message to previous self is just to keep going

u got no idea how this plays out

u have infinite potential, always did and always will

consistency creates the conditions for luck to show up repeatedly

[Kido @kidotheone]

seperate each thing u do one by one

write down how u do it in specific details

simplify it and reduce variation

if it doesn’t fit on one page, it’s a systems problem

you’ll know the process is dialled in when anybody can do it

a simple system scales

[Kido @kidotheone]

many business owners I’ve met want to grow

almost none of them want to give up control

that’s the whole reason they stay small

growth requires you to stop touching everything

ur not bad at delegating

u just need to get better at teaching

simply externalise ur mind

[Kido @kidotheone]

u don’t build a personal brand to help yourself

u build a personal brand to help other people

as a bi product, u don’t have to chase the benefits of having a personal brand

instead, u inherit them

[Kido @kidotheone]

you already have everything you need to start

convincing yourself otherwise is a form of self-sabotage

when you interact with reality as it is instead of the story you’ve told yourself
about it, you unlock your potential

[Kido @kidotheone]

all progress is dependent on the ability to face current reality

to accept the truth in your current situation

and still begin

you cannot avoid your body and become fit

you cannot avoid the canvas and improve your art

you must be willing to embrace the present as is

[Kido @kidotheone]

speed is the single most underrated revenue lever

many customer messages are pure buyer intent

if you respond fast you can easily convert into larger cart checkouts

they know ur a real person + almost nobody pays attention to this
