To be at your best, you need to take care of your mind, body, and soul.
Every day I:
• Do a mindfulness meditation
• Stretch
• Lift
• Eat healthily
The best investment you will ever make is your own health.
These 10 rules will change your life today… (I guarantee it):
To be at your best, you need to take care of your mind, body, and soul.
Every day I:
• Do a mindfulness meditation
• Stretch
• Lift
• Eat healthily
The best investment you will ever make is your own health.
Beware of energy vampires.
They suck the life out of you and hold you back.
Create a Personal Board of Advisors:
We're all going to die.
You can't bring things to your grave.
Over the past 6 months, I traveled to:
• The Grand Canyon
• Costa Rica and went surfing
• Sedona and hiked the Red Rocks
Take a "mental vacation" every 6 weeks.
You deserve it.
Fall in love with the journey.
We all have our ups and downs.
The path to success is a marathon. Slow down and enjoy the ride.
The goal isn't just to get there.
It's to have fun along the way.
Find the intersection of your:
• Passion
• Mission
• Vocation
• Profession
You only live once.
Make sure you're doing work that feels like play.
If you're checking the clock, quit.
Here is an Ikigai template for inspiration:
I used to be obsessed with making things perfect.
I learned it's more important to continuously improve:
• Write
• Ship it
• Learn
• Iterate
• Repeat
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Edison
The best entrepreneurs are lifelong learners.
I spend 6 hours a day learning from:
• Books
• Mentors
• Podcasts
• YouTube videos
Follow your passion. Be curious. Have fun.
Start now. Don't waste any time.
You are one action away from changing the trajectory of your life.
Hesitation is the kiss of death.
Have a bias for action.
“Your feelings don’t matter. The only thing that matters is what you DO.” - Mel Robbins
Eliminate distractions.
You must say no to things that are not in your calling.
Focus is the scarcest resource in life.
It's either a "Hell Yes" or a "No."
I've wasted 1,000+ hours working on shit no one wanted.
Seek feedback. Ask for advice. Listen.
You need 3 things to be successful:
1. Unbelievable people
2. Spend as little money as possible
3. Make something customers want

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”
Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?
A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:
2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to
- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal
3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:
Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.
Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.
4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?
To get clarity.
You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.
It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”
Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

You'll usually get an explicit answer that you might not get otherwise. It also holds them accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
