Time to get my beach body back...

For the next 30 days, I'll be sharing my workouts here as I participate in @dbustac and @austinschless Fit Creator Club.

What's FCC? It's a community of like-minded creators working together to build an exercise habit.

Let's do this!👇

@Jac0bR0b1ns0n @nntaleb Great book. One of my favorites. There's a lot of good stuff in there, not just for business and investing, but also for life.

[Tyler DeVries @tydevries]

@dbustac I'll add...

Brainstorming
Planning
Strategizing
Researching

That's all guesswork.

I fall into this trap of thinking all the time.

Good reminder to keep putting stuff out there and let the data tell you what resonates.

The route to quality is through quantity.

Streaks are their own reward. 

When you commit to something every day, you find satisfaction—independent from the activity itself—just in keeping the streak alive.

Find joy in the journey.

@sweatystartup Quick wins + momentum > big strategic goals

[Tyler DeVries @tydevries]

You don’t need more time.
You need to decide.

That means deciding what NOT to do as well as what TO do.

Leaders communicate the wildly important goals to their team and then work hard to remove all other distractions.

[Tyler DeVries @tydevries]

Greatness isn't a skillset.

It's a mindset.
