"Writing something down is a form of memorization: the thought becomes cheap to retrieve later, while reconstructing it might cost as much as it did the first time." Great read.

There’s virtually no benefit to blaming other people for your problems If you don’t like something, fix it yourself - no one’s coming to save you #ownership #accountability #blame #perspective #mindset

The average salespeople talk about the benefits. But the best salespeople talk benefits AND address the concerns a prospect has. The potential benefits of working with you don’t matter if a prospect still has doubts/concerns. So make sure those are addressed. #sales #selling

To be wanted is a true blessing. #lovelanguages #relationships #love #consideration #family

If you’re trying to obtain anything extraordinary, most people won’t understand you. They just won’t. So stop trying to over-explain yourself to people who honestly do not care to understand. It is not worth your time. Find the few who understand you, and appreciate them.

The most confident (certain) person wins. Don’t hesitate. Go. #confidence #certainty #business #energy

The guy trying to seem cool. The dude trying to pull a bunch of women. The guy trying to rack up his body count. It all stems from lack and emptiness inside. Broken, for whatever reason. I’m not saying this to justify it - I’m saying it to bring awareness to the issue.

When you are talking to prospects, make it genuine. Authentic. Real. It’s much easier to close a deal when you have some level of connection built with a prospect, and you don’t do that when you stay formal/stiff/rigid. Be you. Don’t try to be anyone else. #sales #selling

Life’s too short to hold back on telling people how we really feel about them. Tell people you love them. Tell people you appreciate them. Tell them you’re glad they’re alive. You really have no idea how much a simple gesture like this can change their entire day (or life).

If you’re on the fence about making a decision, this is a good framework to use: If it isn’t a hell yes, it’s a hell no. So if it’s a “maybe”, it really is a no, and you’re just afraid to say no, for whatever reason. #decisionmaking #decisions #perspective #life #confidence

For me, a quality life is a deep life. Full of depth. If it’s surface-level or shallow, I don’t want it. #mindset #authentic #deep #depth #perspective

More truth. From all of us. It’ll make the world a better place. #truth #honesty #integrity #transparency

Keep in mind, I’m not someone who will tell you to “find your passion” because I think that advice is often misunderstood and is bad advice for newer entrepreneurs. #entrepreneurship #business #passion #problemsolving #success

Run toward whats hard. Don’t run from it. #success #mindset #entrepreneurship #grind #focus

In other words, luck is an exposure game. The more you put yourself out there, the “luckier” you get. #business #entrepreneurship #mindset #luck #content

Starting is easy. Finishing is sexy. But the middle? Ugly. Messy. Confusing. Frustrating. And yet, the middle is where the magic happens. It’s where the money is made. Where you become the person you truly want to be. Where you’re molded. Stick w/ the process. It’s worth it.

Be unreasonable. #entrepreneur #mindset #relentless #business #different

Actually have gone back & forth with myself a lot on this one. But being authentic was more important to me than putting on a front just to come across as more “professional”. #business #authenticity #genuine #entrepreneurship #content
