good morning from Florida ☀️

Today was a tough day.

Anyway - here’s 100 push-ups.

Day 367

Growth is never linear.

Easy to see looking back.
Harder to trust looking forward.

Who’s taking a daily walk?

New commitment to myself:

Spend as much energy editing, organizing, and improving my ideas as I do coming up with and capturing them.

If you want an exciting life you’ve gotta do the boring work too.

My first business was in 7th grade.

Bought gum in bulk and sold that shit in the hallway at 150% profit.

If you have a need in your life it’s your responsibility to fill it.

Trust me - I’ve tried waiting for other people to fix things.

Doesn’t work.

You are the first person who has to start showing up for yourself.

Moved 3,000 miles at the start of 2020.

- new state
- lockdowns
- no community

Decided to change that.

I like people but I don’t love sitting around a table in a room - so I posted on fb: “come play frisbee this Saturday”

6 people showed and we had a blast.

The next week it

Ground beef.
Everyday.
Lunch.
Yes.

Am I the only one?

The more energy you put into helping people without expecting anything back, the more you'll end up selling.

This is not a zero-sum game.
We all can win.

Harsh truth.

Sometimes you've gotta go through the death of an old part of yourself so something new can live.

Hurts like hell but worth it.

I didn’t journal for a long time bc it felt like a burden.

I’d see a cool prompt & think “this is the one!”

…and do nothing with it.

Now I just open the page & write, draw, sketch - whatever my brain needs to work it out.

Doesn’t have to be perfect - just has to be yours.

Think with clarity and without self judgment:

What do you want out of life?

Does it include attention, money, control, service, aesthetics, travel, comfort, safety, danger, travel, community, solitude - seriously man, what the fuck do you WANT?

Be honest with yourself here.

Urgency is the lowest form of productivity. It's an offshoot of perfectionism that stems from the underlying idea that in some way - you aren't enough.

And while you probably know that's not true, it doesn't make the fear go away. The reality is that the only way to step into

You have access to a one-way time machine.

Can’t ever change the past but you can always change the future.

Take the risk of documenting parts of your life that may seem typical/normal to you - but they provide a real benefit in some way.

Daily walk, gym routine, time in nature, family time - it's about showing the effect of what the ideas you are talking about.

Freedom is simple.

Entrepreneurship is faith in your ability to figure it out.

'Do it right or don't do it' usually means it just won't get done.

Let your hair down killer.
Lean into imperfect action.

If you don’t separate your emotional state from your results you’ll be stuck on a rollercoaster of highs and lows.

Focus on the process and you’ll move the needle.
