Last night someone delivered a car to my house.

Was supposed to be there at 7:30 and ended up being 10p due to “traffic” in Nashville.

At first I was kind of annoyed but when the guy pulled up he said “is this your house?”

I said yea it is.

He goes, “What do you need and how can I work for you?” 😂

Turns out this young dude actually owns the car transportation company. Bought a truck 5 years ago and now has trucks and semis that transport cars all over the country.

I said “how about we blow your transport business up instead that industry is ripe for disruption.”

We ended up talking for almost an hour at 10pm cause #YOLO and now he wants to buy real estate with me and take over his industry lol

But it got me thinking…

The most foundational skill set universally, like of all time, is the ability to market well.

It opens up so many opportunities that it actually can create problems. Too much opportunity can hurt almost as much as not enough opportunity.

I can go into almost any industry at almost any time and engineer ways to dethrone whoever’s leading and replace them…

But “can” and “should” are two very different things.

For years I’ve had opportunities thrown at me on a weekly (now daily) basis and the difficult thing has been learning to say no to anything that doesn’t fit right now.

This is a skill worth learning and worth mastering.

Second lesson: you never know where opportunity is going to come from.

As the world shift and sorts itself, be mindful and open to VARIETY, not locked into the same old stuff (routines restaurants locations vacations relationships etc).

Easiest way to increased creativity is increased variety and a willingness to come out of routine and into adventure.

Crush the day friends.
Let’s get after it.
