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:

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

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):

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.

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:

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.

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:

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.

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:

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.

This ancient king was given everything by God:

King Solomon.

But even with all the wealth, wisdom, and power in the world…

He still let it all slip away.

Here’s the fascinating truth behind the story of King Solomon:

1. The Divine Offer

When Solomon became king, God appeared to him in a dream:

"Ask for anything you want and I'll give it to you."

Solomon could've asked for:

• A long life
• Endless wealth
• Military dominance
• Power over his enemies

Instead, he asked for wisdom to govern his people well.

God was so impressed that He gave Solomon everything else, too.

He started Virgin Records without knowing anything about the music industry.

Seneca once said:

“It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.”

Here are the 7 things that changed my life:

1. Know when you have enough.

Everyone told me I was crazy for stepping off the gas when I hit $40k/month.

"Why not push for $100k? $200k?"

Because I realized I had enough.

Sometimes, more revenue means more stress, more employees, and more problems.
