To be at your best, you need to take care of your mind, body, and soul.
Every day I:
• Do a mindfulness meditation
• Stretch
• Lift
• Eat healthily
The best investment you will ever make is your own health.

Experiences > Things
We're all going to die.
You can't bring things to your grave.
Over the past 6 months, I traveled to:
• The Grand Canyon
• Costa Rica and went surfing
• Sedona and hiked the Red Rocks
Take a "mental vacation" every 6 weeks.
You deserve it.

Focus on The Process
Fall in love with the journey.
We all have our ups and downs.
The path to success is a marathon. Slow down and enjoy the ride.
The goal isn't just to get there.
It's to have fun along the way.

Find Your Calling
Find the intersection of your:
• Passion
• Mission
• Vocation
• Profession
You only live once.
Make sure you're doing work that feels like play.
If you're checking the clock, quit.

Experiments > Perfection
I used to be obsessed with making things perfect.
I learned it's more important to continuously improve:
• Write
• Ship it
• Learn
• Iterate
• Repeat

Learn Like Your Life Depends On It
The best entrepreneurs are lifelong learners.
I spend 6 hours a day learning from:
• Books
• Twitter
• Mentors
• Podcasts
• YouTube videos
Follow your passion. Be curious. Have fun.

Live By the 5-Second Rule
Start now. Don't waste any time.
You are one action away from changing the trajectory of your life.
Hesitation is the kiss of death.
Have a bias for action.
“Your feelings don’t matter. The only thing that matters is what you DO.” - Mel Robbins

Do Things That Are Obvious
Eliminate distractions.
You must say no to things that are not in your calling.
Focus is the scarcest resource in life.
It's either a "Hell Yes" or a "No."
