The Hidden Tax Holding You Back 3:42

2 days ago3:42

3:42

There are certain taxes of life that we must happily pay: Periods of loneliness are a tax on personal transformation. To achieve the growth we want, we need to accept that there will be periods when we've left our prior environment and have yet to find our new one. Hard conversations are a tax on deep relationships. To build the deep bonds we want, we need to accept the hard conversations that repair and strengthen these connections along the way. Boredom of routine is a tax on long-term success. To earn the win in the light, we have to embrace the boring basics in the dark. Imposter syndrome is a tax on growth. To unlock the growth we asked for, we need to accept that we will be pushing beyond our current competencies and feeling like an imposter in doing so. But there is one tax of life that we must actively reject: The Ignorance Tax . ••• My book has been on the monthly NYT bestseller list for two consecutive months since release and has sold over 200,000+ copies worldwide.

The Paradox of Routines 4:06

Morning routines have been a hot topic of discussion lately, mostly prompted by a mega-viral video of an Instagram influencer running through his elaborate minute-by-minute rituals. It's incredibly good content—the ASMR sounds, the shots, the execution—but is having a fancy, complicated morning routine really going to change your life? If you aren't going to start dunking your face in expensive bottled water before 6am, can you still be successful? ••• My book has been on the monthly NYT bestseller list for two consecutive months since release and has sold over 200,000+ copies worldwide.

My Honest Advice on How to Stand Out 12:50

7 days ago12:50

12:50

In a world that values sameness, standing out is never free. But those who endure unlock the door to the most extraordinary lives. This is a brutally honest list of the traits I've observed in people who truly stand out. These are the traits I aspire to live by. 9 uncommon traits that will make you stand out: (1) Be anti-insecure, (2) Cheer loudly (and without qualification), (3) Practice the art of studied nonchalance, (4) Surround yourself with Truth Tellers, (5) Embrace your beginner's mind, (6) Show up when no one's watching, (7) Tolerate uncertainty a little bit longer, (8) Do the old fashioned things well, and (9) Go all in on the things you want. ••• My book has been on the monthly NYT bestseller list for two consecutive months since release and has sold over 200,000+ copies worldwide.

Here's a quote I often think about: "It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe." - Muhammad Ali Over the years, it's sparked a lot of introspection around a simple question that we should all be asking ourselves more regularly: Am I blocked by the mountain in my path or the pebble in my shoe? ••• My book has sold 200,000+ copies around the world and is a 7x NYT Bestseller.

How to Prepare for an Uncertain Future 9:56

The future feels wildly uncertain (and you don't need to look far to feel it). This is my open letter to anyone struggling to prepare for an uncertain future... First, we need to scrap the old linear mindset (Plan, Execute) and replace it with an iterative mindset (Execute, Adapt). In a 2012 interview, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos highlighted the importance of identifying what will stay the same in the future and building around that. Think of these timeless truths as your Lighthouse , and the skills that remain relevant are your Lighthouse Skills .

The Parable of the Sower: Environment is Everything 2:20

29 days ago2:20

2:20

This is one of my favorite parables: A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched. And since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and produced grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears, let him hear. - Matthew 13:3-9 This passage offers a powerful reflection on one truth: Your environment creates your reality. Choose Wisely.…

Programming Note: The most common piece of feedback I receive is from readers who love the newsletter but find the Friday Five has too many ideas to digest in a single email. Over the next two weeks, I'm going to experiment with something new: The Friday Five will be split across four short weekday emails that will take 1-2 minutes (max!) of your time. The Wednesday deeper dive will remain the same. My goal is that this change will mean more of you are able to take action on these ideas and experience the growth that follows. 1% better, every single day. Stay curious, friends.…

How to Be Consistent: 7 Strategies That Actually Work 8:51

Consistency is the common thread behind every major success story. But no one ever tells you how to be consistent —and let’s be honest, it’s easier said than done.

The Dimmer Switch Mentality 9:07

8 weeks ago9:07

9:07

Traditional wisdom says you have to live life with an On-Off Switch Mentality: If you want to do well, you can have two areas switched ON, but if you really want to win, you can only have one area switched ON. The other areas are, by default, switched OFF. The problem with this approach: If you leave an area OFF for too long, it becomes very difficult (if not impossible) to turn it back ON. My solution is the Dimmer Switch Mentality: It says that each area of your life exists on a dimmer switch. If you want to focus on building one area, you turn that switch up, but rather than turning off the others, you just turn them down low. ••• My book has reached over 100,000 people around the world in just one month since its release.

Status can be defined as the standing or positioning of one person in relation to another person or group. Status is a basic form of social currency—it dictates our interactions with those around us. There are two types of status: Bought Status and Earned Status. Bought Status is the improved social positioning garnered through acquired status symbols (cars, watches, etc.). Earned Status , however, is the real respect, admiration, and trust received through hard-won treasures (healthy body, meaningful relationships, strong purpose, etc.). Status games are a part of life. You will never escape them—you simply need to play the right ones . Focus on Earned Status games and you'll live a more fulfilling life.

I've never been a fan of New Year's resolutions: They're too rigid and require a belief that you can choose the perfect set of resolutions that will be relevant throughout the entire year. I prefer to set New Year's intentions: Big picture, open-ended ideas and mindsets that I want to focus on for the year ahead. The 5 intentions I'm setting for 2025: (1) Recognize time as the most valuable asset, (2) Control the controllable, (3) Find joy in the small, (4) Let go of the things that no longer serve me, and (5) Go All In. We're just over a month away from the launch of my first book, The 5 Types of Wealth. Order today to Unlock Exclusive Bonuses The 5 Types of Wealth provides the actionable tools to define, measure, and design your life around the pillars that truly create lasting happiness and fulfillment.
