A little over a year ago I had:
- No website
- No business
- No newsletter
- No followers (basically)
Now I have all of the above. (1,300+ followers on LI)
And I built all of these single handedly.
If you're starting from zero, don't be afraid.
Just start.

I was a carpenter from 2006 - 2012.
You hear a lot of people telling you to 'just work hard'.
I think in todays age, what's considered 'hard work' is just typing more words on a keyboard than the next person.
That's not hard work.
Try waking up at 4.45am.
Monday - Friday.
Commuting 2 hours to work and 2 hours back home.
Home around 9.30pm.
Start on site at 7.30am and finish at 7.30pm.
Cold, wet and dark working conditions a lot of the time.
I did this exact work schedule for 2 years.
That's hard work.
Typing words on a keyboard is the easiest thing in the world to me now.
You go through hard times as lessons.
I value being able to write for a living now.
There are literally no excuses for anyone.

Claude be crazy sometimes.
I swear it acts like a hormonal teenager.
You could ask it the same question a week apart.
About the same thing.
And it'll give you two different answers depending on how it's feeling on the day.

> PayPal
> Best Buy
> Coca-Cola
> Dunkin' Donuts
What do these all have in common?
They repeat the same starting sound. (They're alliterative)
It makes them fun to say.
And easier to remember.
They're catchy.
That's why brands use names like these.

I am not rich.
I am not poor.
But have an insane desire to become rich.
I truly believe money buys happiness and I'm willing to work hard for that.
Make things like this normal.

A hill I'll gladly die on but Mac > Windows.
I've used Macs / MacBooks for most of my adult life and I swear by them.
First MacBook i bought lasted my 13 years before I had to get a new one.
Ain't no way any Windows laptop is lasting that long.

I swear I treat Grok and Claude like they're my best buddies.
I say please and thank you to 'em all the time.
Nice guys.

Every morning I wake up it feels like I have at least 40 tabs open in mybrain 😆
And that's even after delegating stuff and coming up with a system to take care of half of it.
Is it all worth it?
You regularly ask yourself.
And the answer is... ABSOLUTELY YES.
