I want to live to at least 125...longer if I can. I hear people often say, 'I don't want to live past 80 (give/take) because I it doesn't seem enjoyable' I.e., old age is hard. It's opposite for me...this is it, I want to soak it up as long as I can.

Best 2 pcs of advice I rcvd from a real estate mentor 1. Always take a day off/wk. Always. 24/7/365 is tempting, but rest/recover 2. Don't celebrate when deals close. You're already 'high'. But when deals go bad. Eat a filet mignon 1st 3 deals went bad. I ate well my 1st month

Yesterday the reality of my habits hit hard. I talk about surfing Mavericks, but my actions don't back it up. Very sobering realization, & needed. My habits are better than the avg...but avg habits can't surf Mavericks. Equally discouraging & motivating, but I feel the shift

Whether selling a product, idea, or something to your significant other, there are only 4 areas to focus on... Get them to: 1) agree there's a problem 2) agree why they want to change the problem 3) tell you what the problem has caused 4) tell you what they’ve done to try & fix

Did strength training today for the first time in 9mos bc of severe shoulder sprain, spindle fracture in hand, surgery on foot, xmas, covid...excuses. I got weak. ...but just ONE night of strength training in 273 days is enough to completely alter my psyche Man, I've missed it

There are times I wish I had more, was more, came from more etc Then I travel internationally (the real stuff, not resort-type) & I realize I have everything I need In fact, I remember that I've won the ovarian lottery If you're reading this, it's likely that you have too

There were two types of me: One who blamed others, circumstances, upbringing for what I didn't have/why I wasn't where I wanted to be... One who takes responsibility for everything, even things considered outside of my control. One is a far better life than the other.

When building or creating anything new or 'of substance'... ...it constantly feels like we're just threading the needle. Like everyday: 'Phew, slide right through that!' I.e., while hard work is required, it sometimes feels like a little luck is the critical ingredient.

Today is one of those days where I want to do jack shit. Pushing through, though. One more task and then I'm packing it in for the day. ...I think maturity happens when you realize it's worthless that day and are okay about stopping.

Each morning I write down 3 things I'm grateful for. But today my mindset was off, so I wrote 20. Felt the tightness in my chest release & I became lighter. Amazing how even 'positive habits' can be restrictive. New habit: Write as many as you can each day.

Barring an absolute disaster against Costa Rica... ...I'll be heading to Qatar this winter. Anyone else planning on going to the World Cup?

I was told by 2 real estate mentors I'd be millionaire before 30. Lived & acted as if that was a forgone conclusion (that was dumb). Wasn't warned about would happen in 2008. Lost it all. Nothing is given, all is earned.

If I'm lucky, I have 30-40 REALLY good years left. That's not a lot of time. My 'this dumb shit is not worth my time' meter is super sensitive these days... ...and I'm grateful for it. Too many other incredible, positive, happy things to experience before I'm gone.
