#14: Speak last

I turn 34 years old today.

Here a few lessons I’ve built my life around that help me be more intentional every day and make the most of the time I have left…

1.

When you’re angry, don’t say that thing you really want to say.

There’s no such thing as winning an argument.

Only losing a friend.

2.

Don’t complain.

Offer a solution or shut the fuck up.

Case in point:

I got tired of seeing fake gurus peddling bullshit coaching courses or the only good ones costing thousands of dollars.

Instead of continuing to complain about it, I built a self-paced course to help people become world-class coaches.

So now I know there’s at least one awesome course out there to help people.

3.

Don’t rely on motivation.

It’s fleeting and unreliable.

Focus on building momentum instead.

4.

Focus less on reading a lot or reading quickly.
