The career advice you can't afford to ignore... 
 
Take a look at this pie chart: 
 
> MY #1 PIECE OF CAREER ADVICE 
 
It's not networking. 
It's not skill-building.  
It's not even about seizing opportunities. 
 
It's personal. 
It's profound.  
It's about life partners. 
 
𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻. 
 
Sounds like relationship advice, doesn't it?  
 
But here's how it's career gold: 
 
==> 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 - Having a partner who's got your back? Priceless. 
==> 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 - The best ideas often come from those pillow talks. 
==> 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 - They keep you grounded when the career-high gets too dizzying. 
 
Every other career hack blows in comparison.  
 
Because when you have a partner who:  
• believes in your dreams 
• challenges you 
• cheers you on... 
 
The path to success becomes a shared adventure. 
 
Let’s normalize talking about the role of personal relationships in career growth. 
 
So here's to finding a co-pilot in life's journey. 
 
🌮

One thing I’ve learned... 
 
"How to be great at anything?"  
↳This question haunts many.  
 
But the answer is simpler than you think. 
 
Here’s the no-BS, unsexy truth behind success: 
 
1. TRY 
2. BE BAD 
3. BE GOOD 
4. BE GREAT 
 
It's a progression. A journey. A commitment. 
 
The majority stall at step one, overthinking the "how" or the perfect moment. They wait for the stars to align, to feel 'ready' 
 
Spoiler: You don't ever feel 100% ready. 
 
Start NOW. Start BAD. 
 
Because being bad at something is the first step to getting good at it. 
 
Forget knowing 100% of everything. Own the mess, the mistakes, and the f*ck ups. 
 
They're not just part of the process.  
They ARE the process YALL. 
 
And somewhere along that bumpy road from 'bad' to 'good,' something awesome happens. 
 
You don't just learn how to do something well—you learn how to do it like a maestro. With your unique flair. 
 
That's when you become GREAT. 
 
Not flawless. Not infallible. 
 
Just authentically, undeniably great. 
 
Because in the end, mastery isn't about avoiding failure, it's about building resilience. 
 
So, what are you waiting for? 
 
The 'right' time is a myth. 
 
The 'right' way is a trial. 
 
Your path to greatness begins with a single imperfect step amgios. 
 
Take it. 
 
🌮 
 
PS... I'm trying to 'great' at this LinkedIn thing. Not there yet. But sharing what I've learned so far every month with our students: https://www.brand30.io/

👉 ME AT 18: "Don't tell me how to live my life" 
👉 ME AT 30: "Totally open for suggestions" 
 
Sound familiar? 
 
It's funny how time teaches us the value of advice.  
 
The journey from stubborn teen to a thirty-something seeking wisdom is a freaking journey. 
 
Here's what changes: 
 
At 18:  
We're invincible, or so we think. The world is ours to conquer, no map needed. 
 
At 30:  
We've faced a few dragons, maybe slayed some, got burned by others. Now, we're all ears for a good battle strategy. 
 
It's not about not knowing it all. It’s about recognizing the gold in others' experiences. 
 
↳ Listening becomes a superpower. 
↳ Every suggestion is a potential game-changer. 
↳ Growth is a collective sport, not a solo run. 
 
So, to all the 18-year-olds with the world at their feet, fly high but listen close. 
 
And to the 30-somethings, keep that mind open. The best advice often comes when you least expect it for real.

This mindset shift changed my life

(and may change yours)

My Ironman coach would remind me:

"You showed up today. The hardest part of the workout is done."

Simple? Yes. Profound? Absolutely.

Because here's the truth:

The quality of the workout—good, bad, or amazing—is secondary.

The victory is in showing up. 
(as Hannah Wilson ✍🏻's image shows)

Day in, day out.

But you're probably thinking, "It can't be that simple."

Yet, here's your reality check:

• Your biggest hurdle isn't the task, but the start.
• Your worry about perfectionism is dumb af.
• YOU need to redefine success.

Success isn’t just crossing the finish line.

It’s stepping up to the starting line—consistently.

I challenge myself to show up, every single day.

And now, I challenge you:

Next time you dread the start, remember:

Showing up IS the start.

You've already won half the battle.

This isn't just about workouts or races.

It's about life.

🌮
_____
PS... I put my process to showing up every day on LinkedIn here: https://lnkd.in/eGgAdaaE

Here's how to tell a great story.

↓

PS... I put my ENTIRE LinkedIn social selling workflow into a 10-minute video for you here: https://lnkd.in/eGgAdaaE

Here's how to tell a great story.

One thing I’ve learned...

Stop waiting to feel "ready". 
Start even if you're shaking in your little boots

You might be waiting for that 'ready' feeling to signal go-time....but

Newsflash: It might never come.

So what do you do? 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱.
As Janis Ozolins says in his image.

That's right.

The blueprint is simple:

1. Want To Do It - The dream, the goal, the plan.
2. Do It - The action, the hustle, the grind.
3. Scared? - The fear, the doubt, the what-ifs.
4. Do It Scared - The courage, the bravery, the triumph.

Let's get one thing straight:

• Imposter syndrome? Kick it to the curb.
• Perfectionism? It's just procrastination in disguise.
• The need to be flawless? Dumb.

Feeling 'ready' is the dividing line. 

The winners? 

They lace up and run the race with hearts pounding and palms sweating.

Because in the end, 'ready' is not when everything's perfect.

It's when you're brave enough to embrace imperfection and dive in anyway.

So, who's with me?

Let's redefine ready. Let's do it scared.

Every morning my Ironman coach says:  
 
"Congrats. You showed up today. The hardest part of the workout is over." 
 
Showing up is not a secret...  
but we often overlook it. 
 
That’s 95% of winning. No, seriously. 
 
➟ Showing Up - It’s the commitment, the grind, the consistency. 
➟ Other Stuff - It's strategy, skill, luck, or whatever else you bring to the table. 
 
Why is showing up so powerful? 
 
• It’s action in the face of fear. 
• It’s commitment when you feel like quitting. 
• It’s the habit that builds champions. 
 
Winners aren’t the ones with just talent or good fortune—they’re the ones who show up, day in and day out. 
 
So every morning when the alarm rings remember: 
 
Showing up isn’t half the battle...  
 
It’s 95% of it. 
 
The workout?  
The sales call?  
The pitch meeting? 
 
Once you’re there, the hardest part is done. 
 
Now, go on.  
 
Show up to win. 
 
🌮

10 visuals that will make your life and mindset better

Walk into many of today's startup offices, and you'll be greeted with perks. Pizza on Fridays. Cold beer in the fridge. A ping pong table waiting for the next match. But let's be clear: 
 
That's not culture. That's decoration. 
 
Culture is the vibe of your workplace.  
 
It's the values lived so loudly you can feel them. 
 
It's how you treat people from the interview to the exit interview—and every day in between. 
 
Here's what REAL culture looks like: 
 
• Transparency 
• Mutual Respect 
• Support for Growth 
• Recognition 
• Authentic Leadership 
 
Now don't get me wrong, pizza's great and cocktails can be a blast.  
 
But they’re the cherry on top, not the sundae. 
 
The real meat?  
 
How your team interacts when the chips are down. 
 
↳Do they have each other's backs? 
↳Can they speak freely without fear? 
↳Is there a shared purpose driving their daily hustle? 
 
That's the stuff of legendary culture.  
 
That's the glue that keeps teams fighting through thick and thin. 
 
So, next time there's a "culture-building" event, ask yourself: 
 
Does this reflect our core, or is it just another feel-good façade? 
 
Let's raise the bar for what we call culture. 
 
🌮

The simple sales pitch mistake you can't afford to make... 
 
You've seen it.  
 
The flashy product demo where they say: '𝙊𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙨 10𝙭 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩!'  
 
But let's get real—prospects aren’t looking for the next shiny object. 
 
They're asking: What about the aftermath? 
 
↳ HANDLING old contracts. 
↳ SWITCHING their data. 
↳ TRAINING their team. 
 
That's the meat and potatoes.  
The real MVP of the sales game. 
 
This chart below doesn't lie. 
 
What buyers want to hear isn't a feature dump.  
 
It's three simple words: 
 
'WE'VE GOT YOU COVERED!' 
 
Because when you take the burden off their shoulders, that's when they listen. 
 
Here's the sales pitch evolution: 
 
𝟭. 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 - "Our product does X, Y, Z..." 
𝟮. 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 - "You'll achieve A, B, C..." 
𝟯. 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 - "We'll handle EVERYTHING." 
 
Guess which one seals the deal? 
 
So next time you're in the pitch room, remember: 
 
It's not about being 10x better.  
It's about making their life 10x easier. 
 
Now, that's a value proposition.

Take a hard look at this graph:

📈 EXPECTATIONS vs. REALITY

It's the brutal truth about why most give up. 

We're wired for instant gratification. 

But the real winners? 

They play the long game.

Expectations: 
> Skyrocketing success
> Overnight fame
> Quick wins.

Reality:
> The grind
> The plateau 
> The persistence.

It's in that valley of hard work—where expectations don't meet reality—that most throw in the towel.

But here's the secret sauce:

DELAYED GRATIFICATION

The winners know:

• Success is marathoning, not sprinting.
• The magic happens while you're looking for the shortcut.
• The 'overnight' success is years in the making.

Don't be seduced by the siren call of 'now'. 

The sweetest victories are those you've waited for, worked for, and manifested.

So next time you're sweating it out in the plateau, remember:

↳That's where character is built. 
↳That's where winners are made.

Here are 10 of them you probably know nothing about.

Last week I interviewed the CEO of a company doing $350,000,000 in revenue. 
 
He wanted my opinion on the biggest GTM mistake most companies are making. 
 
ME: "Most companies think they are doing 'sales' " 
 
HIM: "Isn't sales how you make money?" 
 
ME: "Nope. Nurturing your prospects is how you make money. At any moment, 3% of potential customers are ready to buy now. The other 97 percent fall into three categories: 60 percent are not problem aware, 20 percent are problem aware, 17 percent are gathering info. Your goal should be to capture and nurture this 97 percent. " 
 
HIM: "97%?" 
 
ME: "yes and most companies either don't have any nurture process or treat everyone like they are in the 3% ready-to-buy bucket when it comes to messages". 
 
HIM: "you need to talk to my head of marketing" 
 
ME: *act cool Andrew act cool* 
 
TL;DR - 
 
Y'all aren't in sales. 
 
Y'all are in nurturing. 
 
Those who learn to nurture the best will win the best.
