A slog of improving one thing at a time when there are more things to improve than you have time then eventually making a hard call at some point that all new changes youâre capable of seeing make it worse and calling it âfinishedâ.

I stayed stuck at ~30M/yr for 3 years before one call with a billionaire told me what I was missing.
And - so Iâve tried to recreate that experience in person for as many businesses as I can manage (beyond our free content) by hosting a workshop monthly at my HQ in person.
If you want to come out, itâs 2 days in Vegas. With my actual team helping you identify your current constraint and leave w the 3-5 highest leverage tactics to deconstrain it (that we already know work to solve the problem because weâve done it).
Whether itâs low leads, low show rates, low close rates, low ascension, low profitability, unclear avatar, difficulty finding talentâ>all lead to the same thing - not scaling as fast as you want.

A lot of entrepreneurs build businesses as though itâs a race.
And sometimes they reach their goals.
Then they see someone with bigger goals and a bigger business.
They then try to build their business into that business.
But they canât.
Because the fastest route to a $10M business is often not the fastest route to a $100M business.
Sometimes big things take time. And often thatâs what makes them worth pursuing.
Donât compare a sky scraper to a townhouse six months into building.

For those of you who want to give up drinking or get in shape as your New Yearâs resolution.
Start now.
Start during a hard season.
Because if you wait until after the holidays, you already show yourself that youâre unwilling to sacrifice.
So when another âspecial occasionâ comes, you know youâll bend or break.
So if you want it to stick, start when itâs hard.
It also gives you an early strong point of proof that this is important to you. âIf I didnât drink on NY, Iâm definitely not drinking a Tomâs birthday.â
And at the end of the day, if you think the change you want to make is good, thereâs no reason to delay a good thing.

What will separate you from your peers is not the size of your goals but the size of your commitment to them. What you're willing to give up - that they aren't - to see it through.

You cannot both blame someone else for your life and claim youâre in control.
Responsibility and blame are twins. They mean the same thing. The only difference is the first we use to give power to ourselves, the second we use to remove it.

When someone in your family dies, who you didnât have a close relationship with, I think part of the sadness is the death of the hope of redemption. Even if you werenât close you have some hope that you might someday be. And that dies with them.

I have yet to meet a successful person who says that it was faster and easier than they expected.
Even when you expect it to take a long time and be hard, you're still undershooting.

If youâre in your 20s and have no experience, you have the greatest advantage - which is you have nothing to lose.
Use what you do have (time & energy) to get what you donât have (skills & leverage).

The things we believe to be true but aren't, cost us far more than any debts we inherit.
Poverty is passed down through education not liabilities.

For all the talk of enterprise value and multiples, friendly reminder that itâs okay to just make money now. Sell some âunscalableâ stuff for way more than it costs. Pocket the difference. Live your life.
