Your Future Self is BEGGING You to Read This....


I read this quote below last night around 9PM that prompted this email....

Amazing right? I hope it strikes an emotional chord with you as it does with me.

I'm about to give you guys some truth (that will hurt) but keep reading to the end for an alternative path (that's much more pleasant). Over and over again in my life, I find myself called to settle. Especially recently (the last 7 months).

"That date was good enough, she's pretty enough, and smart enough - why wouldn't you date her? Good enough."

"The new video editor only missed 6 noticeable edits across 46 minutes, this is good enough!"

"This xyz thing was done poorly, maybe its best not to cause conflict and ignore it. Good enough."

This thought is the enemy. The last thing you should do in your life and business is settle.

It's a disgusting word, almost a swear word. Like saying freaking "voldemort" in Harry Potter.

Your ultimate enemy is not the economy, not your environment, it's the concept of "good enough".

Your job is good enough. Your life today is comfortable enough.

You are half in the "idea of investing", half out.

You haven't felt enough pain to create immediate and impactful change. So you float in purgatory.

In your job, in your life, in your marriage.

You just sit around waiting for pain in the form of a life event (divorce, disease, new manager from hell, company goes under) or even worse - pain on your deathbed regretting all the things you never tried.

"Misery creates movement". It sucks, but its true. Pain is the largest motivator for human behavior, and our Action Academy members that are most successful all enter our group day one with enough pain that the decision has been made to build a new life for themselves.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle

I would actually change the phrasing even more so to "Excellence is a Decision."

You need to make a decision. Today.

Here's some good news - if you're reading this right now, and realizing that you have been "settling" for good enough - there is one alternative path you can take that doesn't require pain for you to move.

Path One: Wait For Pain (Push Motivation)

Path Two: Create A Compelling Vision (Pull Motivation)

The # 1 way to convince yourself to take massive levels of action (while experiencing large amounts of comfort) is to create a vision for your future that is so vivid and strong that it pulls you forward into the discomfort of action. Period.

Pain is a certainty of life that we cant control, but creating a VISION is directly within our control (and much more fun)

I made a podcast episode on this in depth yesterday that you can listen to by clicking this link.

If you want to make a change TODAY and are already realizing that your new year's resolutions are entering the graveyard, schedule a free 15 minute intro call with our Action Academy Team.

We have over 400 members that are on the same journey as you that will support you and kick your tail along every step of the way. Talk next week!

You don’t need an MBA.You don’t need a rich uncle.You don’t even need a "great idea." What you do need is a playbook that doesn’t waste 5 years of your life running around in circles. Today, I'm handing you the exact roadmap I wish someone handed me when I was grinding 60-hour weeks to buy corporate execs new Ferraris while praying for a 3% raise. This roadmap has helped hundreds of people go from employee to entrepreneur through buying small businesses— and it’s how I now own multiple small...

"Every year you don’t know how to make $1 million costs you… $1 million." That’s not a metaphor.That’s the math. So if you’re planning on being alive another 10 years and you don’t figure this out? That’s a $10,000,000 opportunity cost. Over the last 3.5 years, I’ve spent $527,000 learning how to collapse time. Not on college. Not on theory.On real-world, skin-in-the-game, high-level education. And through that journey, I uncovered a pattern: Every successful person I’ve ever interviewed...

"Don't wish for things to become easier. Wish for you to become better." Let’s cut through the noise. Everything in life is hard. Every path to financial freedom is hard. Working a job you hate? That’s hard. Clocking in every day, grinding for someone else’s dream, sacrificing your time and energy just to “maybe” be free 40 years from now? Yeah. That’s suffocating. But guess what? Quitting your job and building / buying your own thing?Also hard. Waking up in a cold sweat because payroll is...
