Ideal:

Wealthy enough to do what you want but not so much that you can do it all at the same time.

A life of progress requires room for continuous upward mobility.

Success to me is looking at my wife 60 years from now on our patio enjoying the sun and saying…

“Babe, I love you. God’s been so good to us.”

Ran into a seasoned business owner in the gym today and he dropped some major wisdom.

Some will troll and say “balance doesn’t exist,,, blah, blah, blah.”

Ok sure, I agree… but the balancing act that is the tension we all feel in life does.

So although a perfect balance of work and life may not exist long enough for a panic though about tomorrow to interrupt…

[Mikel Howard @mikelhoward]

I feel comforted knowing I’m not the only one out there struggling with it.

And I remind myself of Matthew 6:34, to not worry about tomorrow.

As the business grows and life unfolds, I’m excited for what’s to come.

But all in due time.

@taylorawelch Expect it. YES!!!

[Taylor Welch @taylorawelch]

Your life is about to shift dramatically forwards.

The areas you’ve been in limbo will have closure, and the high places you’ve always wanted to climb will begin to open up for you.

Expect it and prepare for it 💪
And congrats.

1 hour a day of focused thinking about

- your desired future
- any current obstacles
- ways to remove or solve obstacles

Is worth 10+ hours of hustle & grind

[Mikel Howard @mikelhoward]

Give more than you take or ask for.

Simple principle, difficult to tame the mind on.

Things go wrong.
We make mistakes.
Failure happens.

But we pick up and move forward.

True leadership is found in the actions, not the words of the leader.

@taylorawelch Ooof - the enormity of simplicity here.

[Mikel Howard @mikelhoward]

There’s an epidemic of intellectual laziness.

I’m refusing to catch it by spending at least 10 minutes a day in intellectual thought and learning.

Who’s with me?
