Highlights
Working vs. Living…
Like this hungry, hungry caterpillar here on the farm.
You become what you consume.
If you're consuming advice from someone who is always WORKING...
You will become what you consume.
(And it will eventually consume you.)
BUT.
If you’re consuming advice from someone who is mostly LIVING...
You start to discover that working all the time is NOT the only path to prosperity.
Less, but better.
So a question to ask yourself today is what do you want more of right now:
More working? Or more living?
PS - Tomorrow (Thursday) I'm hosting a live town hall on Zoom, which I’m calling:
The Great Sea Change:
Why the Digital Marketing Playbook from the Last Decade is Obsolete.
It’s a synopsis of what I’m seeing after having conversations with over 150+ entrepreneurs over the last 3 months.
It's going to be a live session (no recording), capped at 300 attendees on Zoom.
If you're interested in joining, just comment with the word LIVING and I'll send you a link to join on Zoom...
100+ Private Messages. 3 LESSONS. 1 Cookie.
ICYMI - I'm about to host the very first early access preview of "NEW" Bucket. Our brand new "intelligent" / conversational quiz funnel software...
And for the last month worth of social media posts on LinkedIN, Facebook, and Instagram...
I've casually made an invitation to "leave a comment" for anyone interested in getting an early access look at this new software...
In turn, I've been manually responding to each and every one of those many many comments spread across dozens of posts, with a personal, private message...
- No Automation.
- No AI.
- No VA.
Just me, personally (and manually) responding to each and every one, which took me WAAAAAAY longer than expected it would.
=============== Here are 3 LESSONS (and 3 QUESTIONS to think about....)
Lesson 1: Slow is Smooth. Smooth is Fast.
In a world obsessed with instant automation, I found tremendous value in slowing down to respond.
Q: Where can you "slow down to speed up" and ultimately get to your goals faster than you would otherwise? What does your gut tell you is the place for that right now in your business?
Lesson 2: Re-Connection > New-Connection.
My theme for 2024 is "Re-Connection".
Q: What if you devoted a month - or even just a week - 100% toward re-connecting with past and current business relationships? What opportunities could emerge from that level of focus?
Lesson 3: Master "The Resistance". Discipline > Goals.
This one is embarrassing. As simple as it may seem to just personally reply to 100+ messages on social media. This took me far longer than I ever thought it would.
If I'm to be perfectly honest, I was experiencing what Steven Pressfield in the "The War of Art" describes as the "Resistance."
I shared in an earlier post: "We don’t rise to the goals that we set, but instead fall to the systems we put in place."
And I didn't start making good progress, until I put a simple system in place: A reward in the form of a homemade chocolate chip cookie - only after responding to 25 messages.
I agree, it's silly, right? But the funny thing... it WORKED.
Q: What goal are you struggling to hit right now? Where do you need to rethink the "system" you have in place to hit that goal?
- BTW - If you're reading this now and are interested in getting an early access look at our new "intelligent" quiz funnel software, or if you commented already, and I somehow missed replying to you on an earlier post (my deepest apologies)...
Please just comment on this post with the word "DEMO" and I'll send you a link. I'm hosting the very FIRST public LIVE Demo tomorrow.
And if you can't make it, that link will also get you onto the waitlist for the next time we provide an early access look at the software...
Ryan :-)
P.S. Now if you will excuse me, I've got a chocolate chip cookie to enjoy :-)
