The hardest part of entrepreneurship is the uncertainty that all your sacrifice will be for nothing.

That we give up everything now for nothing later.

But then you remember the life you walked away from to pursue your dream and realize there’s no going back.

So you keep going.

Anxiety. I realized a great deal of my anxiety came from demanding that life be:
1. Meaningful
2. Joyful

Once I realized I was making demands of a universe that doesn’t care, I felt a lot of my anxiety melt away.

Restated:
1. “Why does life need to be meaningful?”
2. “Why MUST it be joyful?”

Answer: It doesn’t. It’s only a preference. But becoming aware of my demands made me more okay with the times they went unmet, just like a sunny and rainy day. I prefer sun, but I do not demand it.

Said differently. I decided it was “okay” for me to accept my present rather than comparing it to a arbitrary ideal that I constantly fell short of.

When I started doing this more regularly, my world got a lot quieter.

Use if useful.

I buy about 50 books a year.

I skim most, read some, and study a select few.

Here are the only books I study (reread every so often). In no order:

Money making behavior precedes money making.

And the delay between the two is predicated by the size opportunity you pursue.

I’ve been thinking this week about people who succeed at things they don’t enjoy.

We sacrifice the thing we want (happiness) for the thing which is supposed to get it (success).

If we make ourselves miserable in the pursuit of success because we believe that success will make us happy, why not just shortcut everything and do something we actually enjoy?

Is your happiness aimed at fulfilling you? Or impressing everyone else?

One of my favourite writers Adam Mastroianni explains what happens when people sacrifice their happiness and passions in order to achieve success.

“This is an extra special type of tragedy, a tragedy that unfolds while everyone cheers.

Strangling your passions in exchange for an elite life is like being on the Titanic after the iceberg, water up to your chin, with everybody telling you that you’re so lucky to be on the greatest steamship of all time.

And the Titanic is indeed so huge and wonderful that you can’t help but agree, but you’re also feeling a bit cold and wet at the moment, and you’re not sure why.” — @a_m_mastroianni

Strangling your passions in exchange for an elite life.

SO good.

What is the point in success if the road to get there is paved with nails and then you don’t care about the place you arrive at in the end?

Even Mr Bugatti Andrew Tate says “having things isn’t exciting. Getting things is exciting, but once you have them, it’s not that fun”.

The journey is the destination.

Don’t strangle your passions in return for an elite life.

If you hire someone (lawyer, CFO, consultant, etc.) who speaks so cryptically that you assume you’re the dumb one, get rid of them ASAP.

They don’t know what they’re doing thoroughly enough if they can’t explain it. This happens in business ALL the time. One or two of these “knowledgeable” guys can ruin your company.

This was difficult for me to learn. I assumed incorrectly that I was misunderstanding people who knew more than me (because I don’t have a business degree). That was very wrong, and I’m not even sure a business degree helps you make start business (for another time).

This goes for anyone - doctors should explain diagnoses thoroughly, lawyers should explain why your corporate structure is tax efficient, consultants shouldn’t have a magic fix you “just don’t get” that can help your company, same with CFO’s. Nothing is so complicated that it can’t be explained by someone who knows what they’re doing.

Simplifying ideas down until they’re understandable is key to knowing whether you (or someone you’ve hired) understands what they’re saying. There are so many liars out there who will use the “you just don’t get it” technique. Don’t fall for it.

Anthony Bourdain said: "Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you, but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride." (Ht Jamieson Faulcon)

Real estate might seem to be in a slump now – but that's how it was when I started in 2008.

Many situations in life are similar to going on a hike: the view changes once you start walking.

You don't need all the answers right now. New paths will reveal themselves if you have the courage to get started.

[Matt McGarry @JMatthewMcGarry]

The math behind a $1M per year newsletter business:

- Send 3 newsletters a week
- Create a $250 course

At 50,000-100,000 subscribers you can sell ads for ~$3500 each.

Then get 2-4% of subscribers to buy your course.

$1M+ in revenue.

Don't get good at doing something you don't like. If you do, you'll be reward with tasks you don't love, work that doesn't fulfill you, and a heart filled with resentment.
