“Better late than never but never late is better / They tell me time is money well we’ll spend it together / I’m down for whatever, you just lead the way…” #Drake…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *PB* The Warm-Up: “And that’s the problem: love is like leadership. Asking for it doesn’t help.” ~Fredrik Backman, Us Against You The Core: “Dangerous money making combo: Patience + Work Ethic.” ~Alex Hormozi “When you pray, God listens. When you listen, God talks. When you believe, God works.” ~@unkonfined “Don’t take the bait. Protect your peace. Being selective with your energy is how you survive.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “What the heart trusts, the mind justifies, the emotions desire, and the will carries out. Everything follows the heart.” ~Timothy Keller “Writing well is an elevator to career success because smart people read, and smart and successful people read the most.” ~David Perell “Meet your idols, you will understand how imperfect they are, and how much you yourself can achieve despite your imperfections.” ~Orange Book “I always like to look at investments without knowing the price – because if you see the price, it automatically has some influence on you.” ~Warren Buffett “Highlight minorities, but also stimulate the economy and the wealth gap at the same time.” ~Jaylen Brown, one of his plans for the city of Boston after signing his record-breaking contract “You don’t attract the people you want to work with by chasing them around, but by working on yourself first, then by yourself on an ambitious project that they will want to be part of.” ~Orange Book “I turned down the opportunity to be on it. … There’s a lot of the journey to be told and there’s a lot yet to unfold that will be told one day.” ~Jalen Hurts, on turning down Netflix’s “Quarterback” series “Most institutional investors can’t deal in illiquid securities. Individual investors often avoid such securities because they can’t stomach high volatility. As a result, it often leads to distortions of price verses value where big opportunities lie.” ~Li Lu “Making the choice to ‘stop waiting’ is one of the most important decisions you can make. ‘Waiting’ for the promotion, the opportunity, or the next step to show itself. Be impatient. Take action. Make something great happen for yourself.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “You can change your beliefs. You may contradict what you said a few years ago. You may lose friendships if they are unwilling to see your point of view. You may become someone that average people don’t like. The pain required for growth scares most people into staying the same.” ~Dan Koe “Everything is cyclical, and the thing that’s easy [to] miss about cyclicality is that it doesn’t require any outside force to push it in the other direction. The act of getting big is enough to make you smaller without being pushed by anyone or anything. A lot of mistakes in life come when you think risk is something caused by external forces, when in fact the weight of your own success is enough to pull you down without any outside help.” ~Morgan Housel, Everything Is Cyclical Last Set: “Power is the ability to get other people to do what you want. Every adult man in that locker room could have rendered the eighteen-year-old powerless by remaining seated on the benches. But he gives them thirty seconds, and when he walks back to the ice, they get up and follow him. That’s not when he becomes their team captain. That’s just when they all—including him—realize that he already is.” ~Fredrik Backman, Us Against You Food For Thought: “Your proof is the headline above the headline. If you have a book called ‘how to market a book’ and it has 14 reviews. No one is going to read it. Not because the content is bad (they won’t even have read it.) And not even because the headline is bad (it’s actually fine). But because the context clearly disproves the authors claim. It’s just like the 100 DMs a day I get of people telling me they can help me grow my social media following…who have less than 1000 followers. They fail the most basic test of competence: ‘Why should I listen TO* you?’ It’s why most people[‘s] businesses don’t grow. It’s why most people[‘s] content gains no traction. Because they’re missing the big obvious: They’re not that good at the thing they claim to be. Because if they were – they’d be speaking under a different context. And their stuff (even if the same) would hit. Which brings me back to the worlds simplest advertising framework: 1) Do shit. 2) Talk about what you did. (Not what you might do, or other people should do). The secrets to being legit: Speak in facts and you remain above question.” ~Alex Hormozi
