Good morning,
The secret to the good life is not money. Big business. Or fancy cars & houses.
The secret to the good life is simple to get and VERY HARD to keep.
It is, like most secrets, hidden blatantly in plain sight.
Here it is:

It is deceptively easy to install and even easier to forget about.
As with everything timeless, the habit of “Margin” is easy to start and easy to stop. But the magic is in the consistency.
If you can go for a walk for 30 minutes no phone no disruption every single day, you will make more money.
If you can carve out 1 hour a day every single day without distraction to read, write, and think — you will be 100 times happier and make more money to boot.
Even something as simple as (GASP) leaving your desk for lunch.
Sitting down for dinner with family.
Pausing and staring at the horizon as the sun sets.
The notebook and the pen are some of humankind’s greatest inventions. Because they require absolute attention… there’s nothing else to do — but to think, doodle, and in the state that follows, CREATE.
I know this isn’t normal for a blog about growing businesses. But perhaps the best advice can give you right now is to simply pause and ask “Why?”
Answer it all the way.
If you’re going to grow something, anything, grow it for a REASON. Never “just because.”
Margin makes sure the other buckets in life stay full, not just the business bucket. And special bonus — when that happens, the business grows MUCH healthier.
That is all.
Try it, let me know how it goes 👊

P.S. We sold out our event this Friday in 6 hours. I’m sorry if you were unable to get in… the next one is in November. It is likely, the people in attendance will have harvested 6-figures or more by then, directly tied to the contents of what we are teaching Friday.
Enjoy the rest of the week, let’s get it!
