Fake Busy
One thing I have noticed I need to work on… stop being fake busy. Its easy to get overwhelmed by simple/easy tasks and think wow I’m busy. But being busy doesn’t mean your being productive. You could be caught up in meaningless tasks that ultimate bring next to no true value. Sometimes it’s because we…

Reflections Of The Achievement Summit
Attending an in-person speaking event gives a special “feeling ” that a podcast simply can’t replicate (yet). So although I listen to people like Tony Robbins and Gary Vaynerchuck often online, being in person was something unique. Here are my 3 Main takes from the “Achievement Summit”. Everyone attending is there to better themselves. One…

Flexible Opinions
Be a flip flopper. Maybe in politics being a flip-flopper can be a bad thing, but in everyday life you SHOULD be a flip-flopper. Why? Two forms of education can come from the following. New discoveries and the opposition. New discoveries: Be open to new ideas, absorb them and try to incorporate them. Old school…

What’s Your Title?
When you introduce yourself to others…what do you say? Do you say it excitedly with a smile? Or do you kinda mumble and say “Oh I just BLANK”. What do you want to say? Whatever it is, make sure you are on the path to creating that title you wish to have. It’s okay to…

Low Maintenance

But eventually, it gets to a point where it just needs an occasional push in the right direction. Now imagine pushing the boulder up a hill. That would be high maintenance. It requires…

Letting go. This power…

Believing that in order to become a top performer they must act like a top performer. Assuming that being under-qualified assures failure. During my time of career confusion I applied to become a…

Billionaires Are People Too
Maybe they eventually buy their favorite football team… Maybe they only fly private….. Maybe they have a personal chef …. BUT just like us…. they are just people. They still get pissed off when they are stuck in traffic. They look forward to the next season of Game Of Thrones (I hope). They yell shit when…

Vicious Cycles
I titled this post on 02/27. Nearly a month ago. I worry about quality to the point where I over analyze every word so hard that nothing gets produced. “Ill do it tonight” leads to “I’ll do it tomorrow” Which leads to a month later. That’s a vicious cycle. How cool would it be if…

Undoing Unqualified
Everyone has once been in a position where they have felt unqualified at some point in time… (Except for Elon Musk or maybe Conor McGregor). Naval Ravikant is the co-owner of AngelList and an early investor in Twitter, Uber and other hugely successful start-ups. He often says “If I always did what I was qualified…
