🏂 It took me a while to learn how to snowboard until I finally stopped falling and started feeling confident.
It’s not an easy sport, but it’s awesome once you know how to ride.
The first seasons were more painful, with lots of bruises :))
But drawing a parallel with snowboarding, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s the same with anything.
Before you can be good at something, you first have to start (not just watch others do it), and then you have to get back up every time you fall and things get hard.
Without ambition, determination, courage, and consistency, nothing good can come out of it.
And sometimes things need time.
You can’t force time.
You can’t just clap your hands and wake up on the podium.
That’s life, after all. From the moment you were born until now… to become a graduate, you had to go through certain stages.
To learn how to drive, you have to go through certain stages.
To have that sexy body, you have to go through certain stages.
To succeed in business, you have to go through certain stages.
Experience makes its mark every single time.
You can have the knowledge, but not the experience.
And that makes the difference every time.
It’s always easier to watch others do it or even teach others how to do it, but in the end, you have to be the one who does it:
Get dirty. Fall. Get bruised. Get back up. Push through difficulties.
That’s what makes you stronger, more confident, and more fulfilled.
How much you earn depends only on the decisions you make and how high you aim.
Time is relative.
Elon Musk said to compress your 10-year vision into 6 months if you want it to happen in 6 months and not in 10 years.
In the past I used to drown myself in personal development: reading books, taking multiple courses, attending online and live events, watching videos and tutorials.
The income was the same, I just felt more “superior” because of how much I was learning and knowing.
I don’t know the exact context of when I made the change, but I realized some years ago that I wasn’t taking enough action and I wasn’t determined enough.
That brought me a few extra hours of work and better financial results… but it still wasn’t enough for me.
I later realized that it’s not about more options and more work but about eliminating the noise and the alternatives.
The more ways you have to get from point A to point B, the more you fall into the paradox of choice and end up not doing anything well.
So I eliminated most of the projects I had started and focused on one direction that I chose to reach that goal.
I changed my perspective on how to do things. Instead of spreading myself in dozens of directions, I put all my “eggs” in one basket, where I was best.
That’s because you can do whatever you want in life, but you can’t do everything.
The mistake is when you diversify with little. When you have little you don’t diversify because you won’t make much progress.
You concentrate everything on one direction until you have a lot. Only then you diversify. Otherwise, you have 10 almost empty glasses and none full.
I learned this lesson from Warren Buffett, who got it from Andrew Carnegie.
Conclusion:
Set the target. Understand the options. Choose one option (decide) and go for it (commit).
If the target is low, don’t expect more.
If the option is limited, don’t expect more.
If you don’t act on one direction and try them all, don’t expect more.
The hours are good, but it depends what you do with them.
Some have built or conquered empires starting from zero, while others have done nothing with the same 24 hours a day.

The end of the year is a good time for introspection.
Here's a useful prompt to give your AI:
In 10 questions, what could you ask me about myself that I don't know? Ask me each question in turn, without telling me the reasons for the questions.

“It’s not the right time.”
There’s a crisis. Taxes are going up. There are wars.
These are just a few things your potential clients are telling themselves, right?
Maybe even you feel a bit shaky when you stop to think about it.
But I have a question,
Aren’t there always natural disasters? Crises? Wars?
If you turn on the news, every second you see some kind of tragedy.
And you end up in a bubble where it feels like everything around you is bad.
You end up frozen.
You stop doing anything because there seem to be so many dangers around.
But how is it that at the exact same time, some people are living the best moments of their lives?
Their business is doing well.
They feel good.
They’re enjoying the summer, the sun, the warmth…
It’s simple.
Where you put your attention, that’s where your energy goes.
As long as you keep focusing on the bad and the problems, that’s all you’ll attract.
But if you push through the fears and anxieties and do something you’ve been meaning to do for a long time, maybe it’ll actually work, right?
And if it doesn’t work the first time, at least you can say: I tried.
Your success story will be very boring if everything always went smoothly.
Sometimes life tests us.
That’s a certainty.
And it’s up to you how you handle those moments.
That’s what will make the difference between your success and your failure.
Keep going.
Leave the negative news to those who profit from it.

AI can create content.
But it cannot create authority.
AI can write copy.
But it cannot build relationships.
AI can answer questions.
But it cannot provide responsibility.
AI can offer information.
But it cannot offer transformation.
You’re no longer in the info business.
You’re in the transformation business.
