You’re not too old

Some people start early, Some people start later.

KFC wasn’t built overnight.

A lot of successful people didn’t figure it out young.

So maybe age isn’t the problem,

Maybe waiting is.

Your dream didn’t expire.

Wrapping up a solid week

Put in the hours, learned some things, got stuff done

Feels good to end the week knowing you did something with it instead of wasting it.

Happy Friday 🙏

Posting has its own mental setbacks.

You put something out there, then you overthink it. Sometimes you cringe at stuff you posted weeks ago.

But I know this is where most people quit. So I’m doing the complete opposite, and keeping at it for as long as it takes.

If you fail, you just go back to your normal life.

But if you really only have one shot at this, why not give it everything you've got and chase the life you actually want?

Life is short. Take the risks. Learn from the mistakes. Keep going.

I’ve realized a lot about motivation this year.

I used to think I could only do things when I had the motivation to. I’d chase it like it was a drug.

But what I figured out is that motivation doesn’t come from chasing it. It comes from doing the work.

Taking a step back after finishing something and being proud of it. Seeing the progress day by day. That’s where it actually comes from.

I wish more people realized this instead of chasing cheap motivation and dopamine.

But that’s why I’m here.

I’m doing things different for a reason

I see it everywhere. People working nonstop, paycheque to paycheque, struggling to afford basic needs.

It’s something I’ve been around my whole life, and I know a lot of people have been in similar spots.

That’s not something I want my future kids to go through. So I decided to do something different than the people around me.

I started this page to help promote overcoming those kinds of situations and building healthier habits along the way.

What I’m doing isn’t a way to get rich overnight. But stay consistent and patient, and you can really change things for yourself.

I want to be able to travel on a random Tuesday. No time off requests or stressing about money, just go when I feel like it.

That’s the kind of stuff I’m working towards. It’s only a matter of time.

Heard something a few weeks ago that stuck with me.

“To start you don’t need to be great, but to be great you need to start.”

Hit me harder than I expected.

a long time I just waited. Kept telling myself I’ll
start when I felt ready or when I had it figured out.

But that doesn’t actually come before you start. It comes after.

Only a few months in, and still learning every day.
But I’m a lot further than I would have been if I kept waiting.

You don’t get good and then start. You start and then get good.

I see too many people doing this

They don’t start because of the fear of what others might think.

I deal with it too. Posting what I’m building and worrying someone’s going to think it’s a scam or that I’m delusional for trying.

That fear is real and I’m not going to pretend it isn’t.

But staying quiet because of what people might think is a guaranteed way to get nowhere.

Either way they’re going to talk. Might as well give them something worth talking about.

Something I never thought I'd say.

I actually wake up feeling rested,

I'm waking up earlier, not pressing snooze when my alarm goes off, and barely waking up in the middle of the night anymore.

All from changing a simple thing.

Sleep was always rough for me, so this is a huge win.
