Yesterday a new strategic business partner took me for my first full round of golf since my surgery 2 years ago (I wasn’t allowed to play). Just hitting a ball felt great...the sole Par for the day was brawta.

Plus we had iguanas as our viewing gallery. Glad they can’t boo!
My best shot of the day which got me a par on the hole.

Let’s not talk about the 6 balls that I lost on just the first 9 holes 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣 (We don’t talk about my score either)
No time at the range for 2 years, only 2 holes in Jamaica last December and still feeling good about my swing after all that time.

Now to get back into the...swing of things (I had to say it 🥸)
3 is not a crowd on the golf course.

You win US$1,000 for a hole-in-one on the 17th hole, cameras in place.

None of us came close!

Never make the mistake of wasting time trying to convert someone into being a supporter/customer/investor before you qualify them and assign them to one of these groups: Image
Your time is limited and you need to ALWAYS be focusing on what moves the needle, not what strokes your ego or their ego.

Figure out where they fit and then determine if time spent on them right now will yield the results that you need.

Salespeople do this all the time.
Notice that autodealerships and real estate agents ask WHEN you plan to purchase because they need to know who really matters right now, not 3 months from now.

They will keep the relationship but they won’t waste time on trying to make a sale today if you will buy in 6 months

I have a framework for my business and personal life that sets a cap on number of things I can work on at the same time and I rank them Low/Med/High on 6 specific metrics and any new one that’s better REPLACES lower ranked one.

Personal cap - 5 (incl hobbies)
Business - 3
I’ve resigned from boards of companies and non-profits, dropped hobbies or moved on from projects/ventures because something came along they ranked higher.

You have to be selective or you burnout.
The most important lesson I have learnt over the years of using this is that no matter what, I can’t take on ANY project that ranks LOW on “Enjoyment”

I won’t do my best and that’s not fair to the other parties or fair to me.

Joy matters too much to me.

A good friend of mine reached out a few days ago to share what he was working on and I was not surprised...but impressed with the detail, the passion and financials.

I wired the first of our investment today and he is in shock. I can’t wait to announce this one...or the location
He had other investors lined up for the small version of his idea so I asked to see the bigger version and his budget. He didn’t want so many investors though and so he figured he may as well ask me, as a long shot.

Then I shared our @realvibez plans and BOOM...it clicked.
He need a certain amount of capital to pay the deposit on the lease for the building and so I took care of that so that he can begin construction within the next 30 days.

Stay tuned for before and after photos. We really intend to invest differently in the Caribbean. #Culture

The bar for joining the ranks of the richest 1% depends on where you live.

Here's what it takes around the world —> US$4.4M for the USA —> bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @business
I was never raised to envy or hate the wealthy. I was taught to learn what they did different so that I could do what I could to be able to give charitably to address the issues I felt were crucial to a a better society.

I share this video with many ppl -
Wealth creation is not complex but it does require a solid framework, patience and perseverance.

Money is just a tool and you need to have a vision for what you do with it, not merely chase money itself. A hammer can be used to build or tear down. It’s just a tool.

A thread about building a company from scratch:

Building a startup and then attempting to scale is like designing then building a car that will need to eventually fly, even become a rocket ship.

You need to spend time sketching the initial design of the vehicle. 1/n
Almost no one will give you money to sketch. YOU are the likely only investor at that stage.

You can move quicker by finding something similar and then modifying that template for time period, market size, geography, experience and skills.

Then you have an MVP to build
MVP isn’t only for tech companies. Any company can build an MVP version of itself to test and iterate.

Now your likely investors include your family, maybe a friend or two who believe in your vision and mission while sharing the same values.

That is fuel to move the car forward

I really look up to #SteveJobs and you can tell just by my bio and the quote I have in it.

He would have been 65 years old today so here are some of my favourite quotes from him that have helped guide my life and decision-making.
Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations - #SteveJobs
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. - #SteveJobs
