Take a bow, Gino 🫡

This evening’s Au Vodka moment of the match 🏅

Sometimes you’re gonna have to carry the weight of a relationship or partnership…

And that’s okay.

As there will come a time when you’ll need carrying and the feeling of being supported, knowing people genuinely have your back will be exactly what you need at that moment.

If you could see a live countdown of how many days you had left to live, how would you act?

Would you sweat the small stuff?

Would you be indecisive?

Would you continue to put off your goals?

Course you wouldn’t.

You would take immediate action.

When you see yourself caring too much about the result or outcome of an opportunity, stop yourself and ask:

If I increase the volume of these opportunities, would I put similar pressure on the outcome?

Usually, the answer will be no.

If you’re someone who isn’t willing to invest in yourself, the only way you can gain the knowledge you need to succeed is through repetition.

If you’re willing to put in the high amount of volume required to succeed on your own, you will wait years but you may still succeed.

The quickest way to increase retention for any new clients you bring on board is to get them quick wins.

Those quick wins reinforce to the buyer they made the correct decision to work with you.

If you don’t have a way to generate quick wins, your retention will always suffer.

Sweat the small stuff.

Always do what you say you will do.

And if you commit to doing something that you end up not having the time to do, the consequence is doing it anyway.

As that will teach you the lesson of not overcommitting and becoming a man of your word.

In days of despair, just remember there is no other option but to keep moving forward.

Just because it feels shit right now, doesn’t mean it will feel shit forever.

Everytime we show up, when we don’t feel like it, we are increasing the discipline that will make us unstoppable.

The difference a coach can make in your life is priceless.

What makes it priceless is the time they save on issues that you would spend weeks or months trying to solve.

If you are a young guy with minimal commitments that struggles to find the drive to commit or do anything worth doing…

The best thing you can do is surround yourself with others who are already doing something worth doing.

At any moment I have thought about what someone or something would do for ME instead of what I could do for them, negotiations have almost always broken down.

Disagreements and moments of uncertainty are going to creep up in any relationship.

Even the ones that are the most solid.

Just remember to never delay the fixing of conflict, despite how uncomfortable it may feel in the moment.

I’ve had the same Sunday morning routine for over a year:

- Priority list and Plan for the week.
- Write All Content for the week.
- Schedule All Content for the week.

All of these allow me to maximise my time throughout the full week ahead.

When you reflect on the mistakes you made in the past, it seems obvious.

But just know only 2 things make it “obvious” now - time and information.

The time factor… takes time. (duh)

The information factor on the other hand is simply about being more resourceful. (Take action)

If you want to build a good rapport with people, check in on them with 0 ulterior motives but to make sure they’re sweet.

When I’ve felt at my lowest, it’s been a lack of substance in relationships.

Which is usually self-inflicted and caused by some form of distancing.

But when I’ve felt at my highest, like right now, I trace it back to my relationships thriving.

Create meaningful relationships.

Lesson from the Art of War I didn’t realise I lived by:

In moments of strength, show weakness.

In moments of weakness, show strength.

When it came to COD, I would play myself down.

When it came to something new like Table Tennis, I would gas myself up.

Amusing observation.

It’s okay to feel like an outcast in a world where people spend Monday-Friday looking forward to the weekend.

Don’t let that put you off your path.

Yes, we are social creatures, so it feels shit, but what you’re working towards will make up for it all in the end.
