You invested into a business. Pursued a relationship. Took a shot. It didn't work out. It messed you up, but you tell yourself you're thankful that it taught you a lesson. You promise yourself it won't happen again.
Today, you're more guarded. Analytical. In your own head. You still feel excitement, but you suppress it now. Instead of launching your product, you spend hours researching the failure rate. Instead being intoxicatingly present with your date, you're looking for signs they'll leave. Instead of allowing yourself to flow, you're extremely neurotic about how you'll come off. Remember what happened last time?
You may have gained wisdom, but you lost your glimmer. Your optimism. Your curiosity. You killed the kid in you. But for what? To be "smarter?" To live the rest of your life having defined your purpose by how unscathed you are or how many mistakes you didn't make by the time you're six feet under? By how much joy you missed out on by trying to protect your emotions or avoid the possibility of pain?
Be bold. Be obsessed. Be passionate. So much beauty to be absorbed. Experiences to be embraced. Soul to be expressed. Show up in the world, and keep showing up. Let yourself get high off of life. Surrender to your senses. There's nothing to worry about. You'll be more than fine. Just choose to actually live.
If you get rich and still take yourself serious…ya lost pal
Whole point of making big money is to not have to take yourself seriously and dress up in a costume to go work like a lot of people do
building / leading employees is also 100x easier if ur not a stiff dork
As long as you have an income source, you have unlimited at bats. Can you find a way to make $5k/mo or so? Endless side hustles. Survive, then you can use the rest of your time taking shots and actually build what you want. Fail, build again. Keep doing it until you strike gold.
get over yourself. speak with intention. actively listen. sincerely respond. the quality of your exchange matters. act like every single human interaction is a vibe check from God. smile. loosen up. laugh. ask questions. breathe life into the moment. it’s what you’re here for.
its selfish to work on building small opportunities
the solopreneur me me me ideology is broken
everyone wants the big numbers and don’t fucking lie to me you definitely want M’s a month
but you don’t get to the really big numbers when you do things for money
you get to the really big numbers by doing things that transcend spaces and people buy into the vision
your team should trust you completely
your clients should be begging to work with you
you should be in an opportunity that scales big enough where you can have multiple people on payroll that support the vision and you in turn support financially
this is the only way to have something massive
this is the only way to transcend your limiting beliefs
stop being selfish
transcend and evolve
Playing the internet entrepreneur game, not going the conventional path, you must accept gains won’t be linear
Unlike a typical career with gradual progression
You can have a home run year at 22, decent at 23, awful at 24 & 25, good year at 26, home run year at 27….etc
“If you help others, you will be helped, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps in one hundred years, but you will be helped. Nature must pay off the debt. It is a mathematical law and all life is mathematics.”
— G.I. Gurdjieff
The narrative you craft about your own life exerts an UNBELIEVABLY powerful influence over your destiny.
It will give shape to the paths you traverse, the individuals you encounter, and the legacy you leave behind.
It is imperative that you take active effort in authoring it, personally. Before someone else does.
In other words:
PROGRAM OR BE PROGRAMMED.

I don’t “coach” people
I become friends with their highest self, and they start being who they truly are
Some people try to give me credit for their success
Yes, I appreciate it
But I can’t accept it
It’s all them
I only planted the seeds. They grew them into an acorn tree
Lemons to lemonade.
Alchemist of life.
It's not what happens to you,it is what you transform it into.
There is never a bad situation. Just one that has to be alchemized.
all that feels wrong pushes you towards what's right for you. all that makes you forget who you are reminds you what you're here for. every trigger shows you exactly where to heal. every challenge is designed to nudge you in the direction of beneficial change (growth). when life humbles you, it's not trying to make you shrink, give up, or forget your value. it's gifting you perspective; stop taking it the wrong way. it's all happening for you, always.
@LordAbrasivism i have a 100% success rate losing it all then making it back & finding even better ways to make it… i’m incapable of worrying about anything i lose. loss always precedes an upgrade in my world. & turns out, the way i think about $ is more valuable than how much i know about $.
Doesn’t matter how much money you make
Once you distract yourself by thinking about how to budget + cut back on expenses instead of just trying to make 2-3x more
You’ve already lost.
Do not lose track of how big you can go.
The target is in front of you, not behind you.
If you're not building equity, you're cooked
Hard to admit that you're wasting your time, but you're wasting your time
Take a step back & figure out how you can use your exact same skillset (positioned differently) to get equity
Will be the most important thing you do this yr
