I started a “boring” business 2 years ago.

Now it makes $40k/month.

Here are 10 rookie mistakes I wish I avoided when I started: Image
1) Not using multiple marketing channels

Without marketing and sales, you won't be able to effectively fill your pipeline.

A few options include:

• Google LSA (local service ads)
• Word-of-mouth leads
• Facebook Groups
• Facebook Ads
• Cold Calling
• Direct Mail
• Email
2) Not offering incentive programs

Incentive programs are a great way to turn potential leads into paying customers.

Here are 3 examples:

1. 10% discount on recurring bookings
2. 100% satisfaction guarantee
3. 15% first-time discount

It was 2,400 years ago.

Aristotle cracked the code on human happiness.

& modern neuroscience just proved he was right.

Here's what the ancient Greeks figured out (that the rest of the world MUST know): Image
Aristotle said happiness isn't a feeling.

The truth is, it's an activity.

& you don't magically just "get happy" by buying stuff or hitting goals.

You become happy by consistently doing what aligns with your values.
Take work-life balance, for example.

Aristotle says, “Avoid extremes.”

Don't work 80 hours a week.
Don't work 0 hours a week.

Find the balance where you're productive but not burned out. Image

Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman spent 40 years studying human happiness.

His greatest discovery?

Humans have a “Happiness Set Point."

It's why you always want more, never have enough, and battle with chronic comparison disorder.

Here are Kahneman's 7 secrets to a fulfilling life:Image
1. Your happiness has a ceiling

Think of happiness like weight.

You can change it temporarily, but your body wants to return to your baseline.

This is why chasing more money or status never actually fixes anything long-term.
2. You have two selves

Your "experiencing self" feels things in the moment.

Your "remembering self" judges how happy you were overall.

Most decisions are based on memories, not actual feelings (that's the trap).

Marcus Aurelius once said:

"Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking."

Here are 6 things that changed my life: Image
1 | Stop chasing external validation.

Impressing others might make you feel good…

But real confidence comes from knowing your worth isn't tied to what others think.
2 | Simplicity beats complexity every time.

My first business attempts were filled with tons of complicated moving parts.

They all failed.

My cleaning business couldn’t be simpler.

Clean houses… Get paid… Repeat.

The Amish are some of the happiest and healthiest people on the planet.

After doing some digging...

I think I figured out why.

Here's what I found: Image
1. They prioritize community over competition.

While the rest of us hustle to outdo our neighbors…

The Amish focus on helping each other build barns, harvest crops, and solve problems together.

No social media comparisons…
No keeping up with the Joneses…

Just genuine connection.
2. They work with their hands.

Studies show that physical labor releases endorphins and creates a sense of accomplishment.

Every day…

They see tangible results from their efforts.

Meanwhile, most modern workers struggle to explain what they actually "did" at work.
