“Carlos! Carlos! Carlos!”…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *MH* The Warm-Up: “Stick to the plan. You knew it wouldn’t be easy. Elevation requires focus, hustle, and sacrifice. The higher your climb, the thinner the air. But when it’s your time to take flight, you’ll be proud of yourself for staying the course.” ~Michell C. Clark The Core: “Never trust a man who speaks well of everybody.” ~John Churton Collins “Only associate with people where you don’t have to drink to be around them.” ~Naval Ravikant “Focus on the moment. Waste no time thinking about the monsters that may or may not be up ahead.” ~Ryan Holiday “If you’re a solopreneur, remember: *Ideas are easy. *Execution is hard. *Consistency is harder…Start and don’t stop.” ~Justin Welsh “It’s not about how you act when you need something. It’s about how you act when you have all the leverage.” ~@realEstateTrent “8 hours of sleep + 4 hours of meaningful work + 45 minutes of exercise + 30 minutes of reading + 1 really good cup of coffee = The formula to become superhuman.” ~Colby Kultgen “If you are an ambitious person, your life doesn’t look like most people around you…On the front end, it’s because of the work. On the back end, it’s because of the rewards.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “If you make an obvious move for five years ahead of time, people will call you a genius. But it’s not brilliance, it’s patience. Doing the obvious thing on an uncommon timeline.” ~Alex Hormozi “Writing it the only ways to outlive yourself. People still read books from hundreds or even thousands of years ago. The author’s physical life ended long ago, but their mental life remains alive and meaningful even today.” ~James Clear “ ‘Job security’ is an illusion created by corporations, your job’s only concern is how much money the company can make. Don’t kill yourself over a job that won’t hesitate to replace you. No money can buy back lost time with your family.” ~Andrew Lokenauth “I’m more impressed with people that avoid problems via proper vision than with those that solve them. We don’t give enough credit to people who are strategic enough and have the foresight to do the work so they don’t gotta deal with future headaches.” ~Joe Holder “If you’re constantly reading without writing about what you consume, you’re over-estimating your knowledge retention. Writing is how you digest ideas. Knowledge can only seep from the head to the heart once you translate other people’s ideas into your own words.” ~David Perell “You need 3 activities: One that makes you money. One that brings you peace. One that keeps you fit. There’s a million different options for each. The fun part is experimenting with them all, choosing the one you enjoy, and creating a sustainable lifestyle over the next decade.” ~Dan Koe “It’s a dream come true for me…It’s great to win, but even if I would have lost, I would be really proud of myself, making history in this beautiful tournament, playing a final against a legend of our sport. It’s incredible.” ~Carlos Alcaraz, after defeating Novak Djokovic to win 1st Wimbledon title. “We trust people over any form of marketing communication. We trust the word of our tribe more than we do print, radio, television, or billboards because there is an implied credibility associated with the word of our people. Advertising gets our attention; people get us to move. The combination of the two is super powerful and, therefore, should work in concert.” ~Marcus Collins, For The Culture Last Set: “A friend once told me that the heart is shaped like two ears put together because to love is to listen without interrupting or thinking of a reply at the same time. Paul Tillich once said, ‘The first duty of love is to listen.’ Sometimes it’s harder to listen than to speak up.” ~@SchrodingrsBrat Food For Thought: “The least interesting negotiations in the NBA are the ones involving the richest contracts. Since the league’s salary cap limits star players to maximum salaries, they simply get every penny that teams are permitted to give them. It’s when unsung players like Brown become available that teams have to calculate how much they might be worth to them…His production on the court was solid, but they wouldn’t have paid him so much based on hard data. They were after his soft skills…Those rare qualities that made Brown a harmonious presence in his workplace happen to be as valuable on the basketball court as they are in a cubicle. They can be found in a colleague with a knack for asking the one inspired question that can improve an entire project, or the connector who knows everyone in the office, or that hero who brings cupcakes on a random Tuesday just because.” ~Ben Cohen, When Being a Good Co-Worker Pays $22 Million
