For most of my life I thought I desired things but I really didn’t. Instead, I had an interest them. You know how that goes, right? Hobbies are usually interests. You see something that looks cool, give it a shot, and then give up on it when you realize that you aren’t very good at …
I was fortunate to play sports when I was growing up. I was fortunate to have a competitive Mom and Dad. Why? Because I always loved the idea of coming from behind to win. I figured if they (whoever the hell it was) could win, why couldn’t it? I brought this mentality over to business. …
When I was little I was a dreamer. I would always dream of the magical things that were suddenly going to fall into my lap. I remember when I was about to turn 16, I would dream about getting a car. However, I knew my parents couldn’t afford to get me one so I imagined …
Do you want to know my worst quality? Yes, I have plenty but do you want to know my worst? I hate doing the final 20% of anything. I don’t mind doing the first 80% because then that means things are good enough to get out the door, but what I’ve found is that it’s …

The perfect painting has yet to be painted. I love that quote. It perfectly encapsulates what makes the great entrepreneurs great. They know there is always something better out there. It doesn’t matter what has been created already. They know there is something else that can top it. Perfect is never achieved because every possibility …
If you came to me and asked for a foolproof way to have a successful business then I would tell you to be in the top 10% of whatever you do. That’s also the best way to make money. Be in the top 10% but that requires a certain mentality that most people have so …
You might’ve heard the term hustle porn before. It’s where certain people glorify the idea of working 80 hour weeks on your business. I work 80 hours so I don’t have to work 40. It’s not good. But it’s also not bad depending on what you’re doing. The problem with hustle porn is that people …
One of the worst things that you could do is come up to me and tell me that you’re a perfectionist and that’s why you haven’t launched your business yet. Imagine your future self coming back to have a talk with you and you’re so excited to talk to them because you want to know …
