Steer clear of them.
Execution always beats Ideas,
And that fact frustrates a *lot* of people...
Every success story is written in sweat, not theory.
Beware: Your natural gifts will betray you the moment you let them make you lazy.

They ruthlessly eliminate what doesn't matter.
A lot of things you take on - you shouldn't.
If people tell you that you are βtoo confidentβ itβs a flag to spend far less time with that personβ¦
Keep that garbage out of your mind at all costs.
100%. Amazing.

The person who somehow finds their way into rooms they βhave no business being in,β who somehow wins the contract no one thought possible, the person who always finds a way.

A trait I see in people who reach the top .01%?
Audacity.
As it turns out, the world responds when you put yourself out there. When you give it a real shot for the thing you wantβnot only in small stepsβbut in big, bold, smart moves that take a bit of chutzpah.

Donβt avoid the hard things - actually doing them makes you proud of yourself.

A universal truth in business & life:
"You can't want it more than they do."
- You can't want the coworker to dig into the opportunity more than they do.
- You can't want your partner to care for you more than they do.
See people for who they are & your decisions will shift.
Probably doing this because cancer is through the roof and it seems like covid is oncogenic - have to have something to pin it on, when you don't take any other action to prevent the root cause.
03.01.2025 17:17 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0If you're someone out there having a hard time in the New Year...some untraditional advice:
Stop by an animal shelter & see if you connect with a dog or cat who needs a home.
You'll get companionship, genuine love, routine, and some sense of purpose.
People are more resilient than you think...
If you need to make hard calls for your business, work or life - make them.
Every day you delay a necessary change is a day stolen -
Hard decisions don't get easier with time.
They get harder & cost more.
Do it now.
Great outcomes often require you to be "different."
- You choose to exercise? 72% of Americans don't
- Want to make $500k/year? 98% of People won't
- Make it to your 20th anniversary? 50% won't
Decide how you'll be exceptional, and work for it.
Be Different.
Thank you Tami.

Competent people resist growth not because they fear change, but because they've mastered being exactly who they are.
Old enough to never stand out in the rain, in Times Square, to ring in the New Year.

One in building mode, the other in earning mode.
Then it flips...
Another in building mode, the other in earning mode.
Fastest way to accelerate as a couple.
A big problem in society, is that good humans don't make good clickbait.
We reinforce the wrong things.
Cool...thank you!

They gossip, complain, shirk responsibility, and are often rude to others.
The New Year is coming...
Don't be average.
I don't know about you all, but the one thing I am *really* excited about from the future of AI, is inter-species communication.
Like knowing what a bird or your cat is saying, and being able to have a translator to say something back.
Walking in the woods would be so cool.
Thank you!

Having a low bar isn't "humble," it will crush your spirit.
Kick that bar up, be willing to work for it, and go for what you want.
Get up in the morning excited again.
