Self Destruct
I have seen all kinds of smart people self destruct.
They stray outside their circle of competence just and because the are very smart.
Being smart does not mean you know everything.
Defining what your game is and where you are going to have an edge is enormously important.
Valuable Words
Constantly evaluate the Density of knowledge per unit time when you speak.
What’s the ratio of value to volume of your words?
Let your words be valuable.
Start now!
Start now.
Block out external noise and opinions.
Don’t let others’ expectations or judgments hold you back.
Cheer yourself on if others won’t.
Many successful people have thrived by ignoring naysayers and following their own path.
Seek out like-minded individuals who share your values and believe in your potential.
Surround yourself with supportive voices.
Take time for self-care and self-reflection.
You can’t pour from an empty cup.
Learn to listen to your own voice.
Growing up, we internalize others’ opinions – parents, partners, friends, society.
Sometimes we lose touch with our own desires and aspirations.
Quiet those external voices and ask yourself:
“What do I truly want?”
This applies to big life decisions and small personal choices alike.
Be mindful of whether your goals and desires are truly your own or if you’re simply following trends or others’ expectations.
Authenticity is key to personal fulfillment.
Developing self-awareness and making autonomous choices takes practice.
Start with small decisions and work your way up to bigger ones.
Trust your instincts and allow yourself to explore your genuine interests and passions.
Start now!
Block out the noises!

Prime concern
…ignoring all the things you could do and doing what you should do.
…recognizing that not all things matter equally and finding the things that matter most.
Time as a currency
If everyone has the same number of hours in a day, why do some people seem to get so much more done than others?
How do they do more, achieve more, earn more, have more?
If time is the currency of achievement, then why are some able to cash in their allotment for more chips than others?
-Pope
Need for distance
Stay away from those who play the victim in problems they created.
Focus on spending time with people with whom you share a common future rather than just a common past.
Prioritize wisely.
Allocate more of your time and energy to those who have contributed to your growth and success, and who continue to pour into you.
This doesn’t mean forgetting those who were part of your past.
However, just because someone was with you then, doesn’t mean they should be with you now if you no longer share a common future.
Nothing Personal
Whatever life throws at you,
Don’t take it personal.
Take note and Take care of it.
Never be emotional.
All it’s ever going to do is alter your decision making, slow you down.
Eat up unnecessary bandwidth that could be contributing to your momentum.
Take note
Take it serious and
Take care of it!
Egolistic perfectionist
The ego of wanting to seem perfect in front of people will hold you back from your greatness.
You could fail in an idea, it doesn’t mean you are a failure.
Your business can fail, it doesn’t make you a failure.
Release that ego of looking perfect in front of people, give yourself the permission to fail.
The purpose of testing is to see what fails, what works and then make your tweaks appropriately.
Give yourself permission to fail!
