One-Minute Business Advice I’ve Learned That Can Save You Years
A second’s worth more than we can fathom
I’ve owned my business for a few years now. It’s been rough, mostly because of me. I’m stubborn, impulsive, rigid, and terribly prone to shiny object syndrome. And yet, it’s also been amazing. The control, the freedom, the constant learning, the options. Alex asked what advice we’d give. Here’s my answer: Always DO when you’re afraidYou’re dying every second. Move fast to leave behind as much as you can. You won’t get another chance in this exact existence. Remember: No one cares that much about what you’re doingEveryone’s got their own story, cast, and conflicts. They’re not obsessing over yours, only trying to get through their muddy middles. Never forget: Time isn’t money; time is lifeYou can spend infinite time and not make money. You can never spend time and not use life. Heal from perfectionism ASAPPerfection is not possible. Trying for impossible isn’t worth the time you’ll waste. The hours and hours you’ll never get back. It doesn’t need to be perfect. Can’t be. Your imperfection is more than enough. Focus on progress. Make decisions fasterYou can change 99.9% of them. Or start over. Be patient with resultsYou don’t control outcomes, only effort, passion, and discipline. Release it, iterate, release it. Focus on creating. Focus on publishing. Start an email listDo this today. Get people’s emails. They’re worth absolute gold. Also, connect with others. You can do it alone, but it’s so much harder. I’ve tried. Do not be terrified of your impulsivityI was and became a horrible perfectionist. Learn to control dangerous impulses and decisions, then exploit the heck out of your impulsivity. Remember: You DO NOT have foreverEvery second, we get more life and more death. We’re conceived in decaying flesh. Commit your gifts to the world.

Change starts in the mind Photo by C. SHII on Unsplash “Nah, that’s not me.” I stared at the screen. Shook my head. “Nope, that can’t be right.” Pushy, rude, lustful, aggressive, controlling, blunt, intimidating, my way or the highway, dominating, angry, intense, don’t care about other people’s feelings. No, I’m not an 8. 8s sound like awful people who make everyone around them miserable. I’m annoying, even to myself, but I don’t think I make everyone miserable. I care about people’s...
His last lesson surprised me Photo by Ryan Quintal on Unsplash Like a banshee after stubbing her biggest toe, the gravel screeches in my head. It’s crunching and groaning under the other cars’ wheels, but it won’t slow me down. I’ve come to enjoy life. I close my car’s door and walk into the unfamiliar restaurant. It has high ceilings, lots of long wooden tables, and massive silver, stainless steel beer-brewing containers side by side behind the bar. Ritzy. And the food smells goooood....
Was it before or after you decided you couldn't change that? We all have these narratives creeping around in our minds. Our hearts. Our souls. Whispers we forget to stop listening to.
