Why do people leave their well-paid jobs for funky side hustles?
To-do lists require work, they don’t do the work.
The world moves on. Ignorance leaves you behind.
Breakthroughs take time.
Human nature.
Luck requires preparation.

Drop something. Say no. Or burnout.
A worthwhile search.
Notification came, and the focus went.
Promise less, deliver more.
It creates momentum and keeps the flame alive for your dream.
Complaining costs time.
Obsession is your ultimate advantage.
When you sit down to work (but don't work)
What could be that regret?

One of the things I enjoy most about being self-employed is the freedom to bounce around, act on my ideas, and not get stuck in bureaucracy.
A day in the life of most people.
Don't enjoy the corporate world? Become one.
Get more attention by opening up.
Try and expect that you'll need to try some more.
Action.
Start with what you have.

Want change? Take action.
It makes no sense that we don’t do them.
Work towards your dream job.
The path to regret.
Start now. It’s not too late.
Earn your tools.
Consistent trying can change your mind.
Give it an honest try.
More tasks. More switching. More lost time.

Move the ball forward every single day – no matter how small.
Be aware if you have too many answers.
The tipping point for growth.
Start now and avoid regret.
Align your actions with the reputation you want—and use the internet to scale it.
Life.
You've got this.
Show up, every damn day, no matter how small.
"I'm listening."
In the short term, chasing curiosity might not always make sense – no clear payoff, and you might even look silly. But keep going – it’ll take longer than you think, but it’s worth it.
Ship and iterate.
Deliver. Overdeliver. Never underdeliver.

Both feel good in the short term, but only one will feel good in the long term.
Honest project plan.
Do it before doubt destroys it.
Is there a better way?
Love has more patience, so pursue projects that excite you.
Keep going.
No discomfort? No breakthoguhs.
Curiosity is the ultimate cheat code. It makes learning effortless and turns hard work into play. While others force focus, you’re pulled in naturally.
