The amount people care about the judgments of others is always astonishing.

People aren't going to like you
Some will make fun of you
Some will criticize you, it's all fine.

....Let them be, and keep doing you.

Eventually...you prove yourself out.
They stay the same.

The combination of intelligence and scrappiness remains undefeated…

Worth your time to read the intro & remind yourself today...'You're too Nice...and It's Holding you Back'

Posting it here, even though the Substack link will get no traction.

Cut the cord from societal mythology…
- The mythology that tells you that you are “only” capable of X or Y.
- The mythology that tells you that only “special” people deserve or get extraordinary lives.

Don’t allow myth to guide your life.

The most exciting and challenging part of tapping into your own power & ability, is that you realize that most of the time...you can do whatever you want.

Want a specific position? Aim for it.
Want a specific income? Set your targets.

You have more choices than most believe.

'While your grit is pushing you forward, self-control keeps you on track and accelerating in the right direction.'

This week's Monday newsletter (in bio) is a deep dive on 'Success and Self-Control'.

Grit helps you survive.
But self-control keeps you lined up to the target.

From Dr. Julie Gurner's Ultra Successful this morning

It's hard work to develop, but framing is a superpower

Have high expectations.
Here's a clip from a recent newsletter, “expect the best, and get it”…

'There is always a path through....for those good enough to see the pathway. There is always a way. Always.'

Worth your time to read this piece from Jason Warner

You might not realize it, but if you aspire to be great in business...
You will be going on a massive personal journey.

There will be endless things to overcome,
And only you to overcome them.

Being mediocre in your work or your relationship
- is a choice.

There is so much to gain from the extra effort.

Your opportunity, is that most people won't work for it.

Stoicism and reduced emotional expression has its place, but being the best at anything comes with a *lot* of emotion.

Every top athlete.
Everyone who reaches the top in business.

They are all deeply passionate about what they do.
They feel it strongly...
And they use it.

Almost all people underestimate their capabilities - ...and the ones who don't in some areas, are those who many people come to admire.

Fantastic opportunity for the right person!

I have no idea why women don't want to get older...
Age is a privilege.

Just keep doing good work.
One foot in front of the other.
Moving it forward.

Consistent. Persistent.
And Never Giving Up.
