1 Appreciate nature

Enjoy Nature. Go on a pointless walk. Soak in the sunshine. You were put on Planet Earth for a reason.

Enjoy your time here. Trust me. Image
2 Learn how to say NO

The moment you start saying yes to everything is the moment you live on others people's terms.

Stop letting others dictate your life.
Learn how to say no.
Make your life your priority. Image
3 Adopt a growth mindset

The growth mindset is the antidote to modern life.

Turn setbacks and disappointments into learning experiences. Failure will no longer rule your thoughts.

Believe that you can make this happen and you will enter a world of possibilities. Evolve. Image
4 Have high standards in life

When you adopt high standards you will become more authentic. Others will respect you more. You will develop a stronger identity.

Never attach your name to anything mediocre.

Make excellence a choice. Image
5 Never take your family for granted

Tell family members that you love them. You probably think that they will be here forever.

They won't be. Image
6 The most optimistic are most successful

See the glass as half full instead of half empty.

Your mindset is a CHOICE

The most successful people I know are also the most optimistic. This is not a coincidence.
7 It's okay to take a break...

Productivity isnโ€™t about working nonstop, itโ€™s about working smarter. Don't pay any attention to the people that tell you to hustle 24/7.

Take breaks. Enjoy life. Image

What in the world happened in 1980? Image
When people look at this chart, they usually ask a technical question:

โ€œWhat changed in the economy around 1980?โ€

Thatโ€™s not how I see it.

What I see is the moment the social contract quietly collapsed. Let me explain why... Image
From the end of WW II through the late 1970s, the deal was simple:

If you worked hard and took responsibility for your life, you were rewarded. Productivity rose and wages rose. A single income could support a family.

The system made sense. Image

4. Make as many friends as possible

5. Focus on making money from day one

6. Hit publish every SINGLE DAY
7. Build on as manyย platforms as possible

I turned 43 today...

If you're in your 20s, read this:
Forgive your parents

Understand that your parents are only human. And we all make mistakes. Forgive past trauma with your parents and take full responsibility for your future actions.
Stop chasing titles

The internet taught me one thing - qualifications don't matter. This is because, on a worldwide stage, people with real skills are ultimately rewarded.

I taught public school for 20 years and have a Master's in Education.

The #1 lesson I learned?

Homeschool your kids...

Here's 9 reasons you should take your kids out of public school:
1. You treated like a number (not a person)

The typical kid spends:
- 8+ hours a day
- 5 days a week
- 200 days a year w/the same kids

All stuck within the same 4-walls

Kids should be out in the fresh air, with different age groups, and taught at a speed that helps them learn.
2. Public schools teach to the test

Schools are no longer about LEARNINGโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s ALL about passing
It's ALL about test scores
It's NOT about education

You take a test. Repeat โ€œfactsโ€. Get a good grade.

They routinely pass kids from grade to grade without ever truly learning. Image
