The construction industry has made more quiet millionaires than Silicon Valley ever will.
They just don’t make content about it.
They’re too busy building.
ELON MUSK: IF YOUR JOB INVOLVES MOVING ATOMS, YOU’RE SAFE. IF IT INVOLVES MOVING DIGITS, AI IS TAKING OVER LIKE LIGHTNING
"AI is really still digital. Ultimately, AI can improve the productivity of humans who do things with their hands
Literally welding, electrical work, plumbing, anything that involves physically moving atoms. Like cooking food or farming; anything that's physical, those jobs will exist for a much longer time
But anything that is digital, which is just someone at a computer doing something, AI is going to take over those jobs like lightning
It's going to take over those jobs like lightning. Just like digital computers took over the job of people doing manual calculations, but much faster"
90% of a successful business is a healthy founder:
• Take care of your mind
• Take time to relax
• Put family first

You are the biggest asset in your company.
The fastest way to stand out is to put in more effort than everyone else.
Show up early. Use names. Do your research ahead of time. Smile when you greet people. Do more than your share. Follow up quickly.
Work ethic is the universal currency of respect. And it costs you nothing but can give you everything.
I’m excited to announce that I have accepted the Grad Assistant position with @ESU_Baseball. I would like to thank @SalemccB for the experiences, knowledge and relationships I have gained over the last year. Time to get to work💪🏼
I’m convinced that everyone should take a big swing at some point in their life and experience what it’s like to truly go all in on a meaningful pursuit otherwise they grow bitter with age.
Shoutout to everyone building from scratch.
- No rich parents

When you’re an entrepreneur, no one is ever gonna tell you “good job”. It’s expected. You own the business. Get used to it.
You never did it for them anyways.
Most people spend their entire life playing defense: protecting reputation, avoiding judgment, fearing risk. That’s why they never build anything. Greatness only comes when you switch to offense—create, launch, ship, publish, lead.
Burgum: "AI will take jobs away, like software development, because AI can write code. But AI can't wire a building, do plumbing. Kids go into the trades today -- they're all gonna be making $150,000."
