Find people with big goals. They’ll never make you feel stupid for trying.

Life hack: always have something on the calendar you can't wait for. It gives you energy. It gives you structure. It gets you through the hard weeks.

what a privilege... - to feel exhausted from work - to feel uncertain about the future - to outgrow things you used to settle for - to feel overwhelmed by opportunity - to be challenged by a life you created - to have friends to miss

Everyone wants the freedom. Almost nobody wants the discipline that builds it. That’s the whole trade.

Like many others, been saying it for years. Anyone who discourages your child from playing multiple sports does not have your child’s best interests in mind. Period.
Early specialization is overrated. Generalists excel over time. Data on >34k stars in sports, music, science, and chess: Focusing on a single field predicts a faster rise, but cross-training foreshadows a higher peak. The most successful adults start off as well-rounded kids.

You don't need a perfect plan. You need a plan you'll actually follow.

Most people don’t lack opportunity. They lack the courage to look stupid while levelling up.

You’d be shocked how far someone can go if they just stopped quitting when it gets hard.

Every winner I met has the same story: They do one thing. For a long time. With full commitment. Losers try everything then wonder why they never make it. Follow one course until successful.

As long as you are alive, it's never too late. You can always start over. You can always get better. You can rise up from anything.

Stop accepting other people’s expectations for your life. Focus on what lights you up and be world-class at it. Go all in on YOU.

Stop asking: how much can I make. Start asking: how good can I get. The person who develops SKILLS can go anywhere and do anything.

Commit to ONE skill or business until you become world-class. It’s called F.O.C.U.S. Follow One Course Until Successful.
