Start building in 2023.

Or regret not building in 2024. 

Building a Fanbase = Digital Leverage

Digital leverage gives you more:
→ Career opportunities 
→ Earning opportunities 
→ Growth opportunities 

It's a more effective Job Search strategy than blasting out 1,385 resumes with a sprinkle of hope.

One of my first blog posts made $500.

Total accident.

This hooked me good.

I wanted to write online, but I was terrified.

I need a perfect website.
I need a perfect niche.
I need a perfect bio.
I need to be perfect.

I wanted to write, but my perfectionism wouldn't let me.

This went on for years (not joking)

Zero articles were published.

I was paralyzed by fear.

😰 

Then one day, I heard of Medium.

The excuses were over.

I spent way too long writing, then hit publish.

Woke up the next day to 10K views and $500 earned.

I've been hooked ever since.

Nothing is better than making your first $1 online.

Even if you've heard it 10,379 times...

Plant this seed deep in your 🧠.

Surround yourself with people you admire.

- Who you marry
- Who you hang out with
- Who you hire and work alongside

These are the 20% of decisions that shape 80% of your life.

Hang around smokers, you will smoke.
Hang around fit people, you will get fit.

Hang around gossipers, you will gossip.
Hang around leaders, you will learn to lead.

You get the point.

Find people who make you better.

Stay away from people who suck your energy aka the Vampires. 🧛‍♂️ 

This is my best advice for a better life.

Are you intentional about this?

I dropped out of college with 12 credits left.

Still managed to do just fine.

- Run a 30-person company
- Invest in 200+ commercial units
- $25 million in annual revenue

I don't say this to brag.

But to show you it can be done without a formal degree.

Three years into my degree, I was working full-time driving back and forth 2 nights a week to crunch the credits.

Then I had an AHA moment.

"I don't need a degree to do what I love."

🤯 

I think school is valuable.

But some skills can't be learned in a classroom:

→ Building a company
→ Finding business partners
→ Thriving in chaos and uncertainty

Entrepreneurs don't wait for permission to build.

✅ They solve problems.
✅ They hire talented people.
✅ They don't let "failure" stop them.

I wish more people understood this before going 6-figures in debt.

Thoughts on this?

I don't know 1 successful person who hasn't failed a lot.

Failure isn't celebrated enough:

- in schools
- in companies
- in everyday life

It doesn't mean you recklessly fail without thinking.

It means you take calculated risks, and some don't work out.

But you always learn from failures.

Fail → Iterate → Try Again

"What do I have to gain vs lose?"

Don't just focus on the downside.

Say "Yes" to opportunities with massive upside.

And have fun! 

Life is a game.


👉 What have you learned from Failure?


#careers #personaldevelopment

This is oversimplified.

You also need these 7 things:

1) Sh*t ton of caffeine
2) Endless content ideas
3) Systems to keep you going
4) Guidance from 10K+ creators
5) Plenty of breaks from social media
6) Thick skin when the haters come out
7) Mini failures showing what *not* to do

I have no idea if I’ll live to 60 years old.

Life is short.

That’s why I tell my kids to “Unfollow the Herd”

Financial gurus preach Heard Mentality:

- Go to college 
- Get a stable, safe job
- Stuff some money in a 401k
- Penny pinch until you retire at 65

But the secret 🤫 

Wealth is often built on the uncommon path:

- No MBA required
- No climbing the ladder
- No safe, slow path to wealth
- No waiting to enjoy life until 60

This is what we teach our kids.

To think for themselves.

💰 

#unfollowtheherd

Put yourself in the LinkedIn creator fastlane with these 7 powerful tools:👇

1. Journal to capture ideas
2. Buffer to schedule posts

6. Answerthepublic{dot}com for ideas
7. The best therapist you can afford
