Whatever you do, create or put out there. you probably can't afford "perfect". No one can. Try to keep that in mind...

July 2022
Too comfortable...
There isn't a lack of opportunities. There's just an abundance of people that are too comfortable...
| |
|
avoid being comfortable...
If you're forced to seize opportunities, you'll seize them. On the other hand, if you're comfortable enough and don't necessarily have to seize opportunities, you'll never seize any opportunities. Bottom line: if you feel stuck and/or want to make progress, avoid being comfortable...

|
If it happens and if it doesn't...
The only way to deal with change is to embrace it. Not with all you've got. But at least with some of your time, skills, money and resources. So you'll be able to benefit in both scenarios. If it happens and if it doesn't...
| |
|
Big and small problems
It doesn't really matter how big a problem really is. What matters is how big the problem feels like for the person experiencing that problem. So a problem that might seem tiny to you, might be a really big deal for someone else. Try to keep that in mind...
| |
|
It leads to the opposite
More time doesn't necessarily lead to better results. It just leads to you having more time. Which often leads to the exact opposite...
| |
|
The right path...
The path taken that turned out to be the wrong one, is still better than no path taken at all...
| |
|
The longer it's been...
The longer it has been that you did (or created) something special, something extraordinary, something that most people would rarely do, the higher the chances of you feeling or being stuck...
| |
|
That future...
It's rarely a good idea to be doing things you don't want to be doing because you think that someday in the future it'll enable you to do the things you really want to be doing. Because that future rarely comes...
| |

Making magic happen
The magic never happens when you have all the information you need. When you know for sure what's going to happen. When everything is predictable. And safe. And stable. The magic only happens when you don't know what's going to happen. That's the definition of magic. Act accordingly...
| |
|
The things you create
The things you do, the things you create and the things you put out there, are the things that will give your life purpose...
| |
|
How to win...
The hardest way to win is to win alone. The easiest way is to help others win. Because over time, you'll automatically win, too...
| |
|
Possibly realistic
Opportunities can (mostly) be found in the things that are possible. Not necessarily realistic, but possible. So focus on what's possible today and not what's realistic. Because what's possible (but unrealistic) today is what's very likely going to be what's realistic tomorrow...
| |
|
Someone else's game...
As long as you're playing someone else's game, your wins will never feel quite like yours. And because they don't, you'll keep rushing from one win to the next. Never feeling fulfilled. Because you're playing the wrong game. You're playing someone else's game... So what's yours?
| |
|
It's the key...
What matters is courage. If you don't have any courage, it doesn't really matter how smart you are. Or how talented you are. Or how many people you know. It's all pretty much useless if you have no courage. Courage is the key...
| |
|
Just as much time...
Unimportant work takes just as much time as important work. Act accordingly...
| |
|
Blind spots...
The best way to diversify is to also invest in the things you don't believe in. To also learn the skills you don't think are necessary. And to also do the things you don't want to be doing...
| |
|
Understanding things...
We're taught to know things. And not to understand things. But understanding things is what really matters these days...
| |
|
Building and running...
Studying and reading about how to build and run a business has nothing to do with building and running a business in real life. Try to keep that in mind...
| |
|
Nothing into something...
As an entrepreneur, you're creating your own job. You're basically turning nothing into something. As an employee, you're taking a job that someobody else created for you. You turn something into something a little (or a lot) bigger. But the biggest possible upside (and downside) is and will always be in turning nothing into something...
| |
|
Your to do list
The most important thing on your to-do list is probably not even on your list yet and probably doesn't even exist yet...
| |
|
Going for a run...
Amateurs go for a run when the sun's outside and they're in a good mood. Professionals go for a run no matter the weather or their mood. They show up when no one else is. They stay when everybody else is leaving. Because that's what creates their edge. What's creating yours?
| |
|
Fixing it...
If it doesn't take a lot of time, effort, patience and perseverance, it's probably not worth it and it's going to end up costing you a lot more time, energy and resources to fix it...
| |
|
The easier it was...
The harder you had to fight to get it, the harder you'll fight to keep it. Just like the easier it was to get it, the easier it'll be to lose it again...
| |
|
You and your stuff...
Doing the work is difficult. But getting people to find out about you and your work is even more difficult. So before you're putting your stuff out there, think about how people are going to find out about you and your stuff...
| |
|
Someone else will...
If you don't say it, someone else will. If you don't do it, someone else will. If you don't create it, someone else will. Try to keep that in mind...
| |
|
Will always lose...
Put your stuff out there. Because ideas that don't spread will always lose...
| |
|
That's what matters...
Don't focus on acquiring information. Focus on figuring out what to do with all that information and how you can use it to turn nothing into something. That's what matters...
