This is out my front door. I love this place. Yes we have crime, power interruptions, poverty and a lot of other negatives. It also has wonderful people, lots to do, people from all over the world. All about perspective
@PowerOfValues
I am an introvert, and I would have to disagree with this. Many introverts just feel drained if they have too much interaction with others and not enough recharge time.
I have been an entrepreneur for 25+ years.
I have built 4 businesses.
And sold 2
The 3 rules of life that always kept me going:
1. My past is perfect.
2. I am doing the best I can with the resources I have.
3. I take 100% responsibility for everything in my life.
Stoked to have hit the 100 follower mark.
I did not really think much of follower count yet now that I see this milestone I get why people celebrate.
Bjรถrn, welcome to the club and thank you for adding another digit to the counter๐ค๐ฝ

And if you don't know what you want precisely enough,
don't just sit there trying to figure it out all in your head!
Try things out for a while, experiment!
Reevaluate with the new real word feedback!
PS: Couldn't resist to be your 100. follower!
If your mind is empty it is open to anything and this is one of the many benefits to meditation.
With a clear vision and intention you are able to tap into the infinite possibilities of the mind and overcome any obstacle you encounter
"Assume that the person you are listening to might know something you don't." -Jordan Peterson
Listening is a dying art.
Most people listen to answer or to justify their own point of view.
Learn to listen and you will forge deeper connections and learn a lot on the way
What are you carrying that is heavy into this week?
Sometimes we need to pause, acknowledge the challenges and choose carefully what we carry with us and what to let go of.
Here is to a powerful week
Round 1 - 7 years to become an overnight success 10 more years of building before selling out
Round 2 - Business failed within 2 years ๐
Round 3 - Bumped along keeping head above water
Round 4 - 20 months to wild success
Round 5 - Loading

Shoutout to
@brightraphael_
for adding incredible value. I reached out to have a chat and he got me.
What was different?
He just listened then gave me information relevant to me.
Big up man, thank you. ๐๐ผ
I am loving the community here
The Game of 3 Rules
1 Choose to believe the past is perfect
2 Choose to believe everyone including yourself is doing the best they can with the resources they have
4 Choose to take 100% responsibly for everything that is happening in your life
Far too many keyboard warriors out there.
Level up
Preach what you practise.
Many people out there are trying to practice what they preach.
Short cut your success and start preaching what you practise and see how fast things shift
How much of your experience is open to interpretation?
Are you able to reframe your perspective and see opportunities in your challenges?
Once you understand this a whole new world of possibilities opens up for you
Do not let yourself become discouraged.
Every journey has challenges, moments where it feels like the path ahead is too hard. At the end of the journey it is precisely these challenges that one fondly remembers as those are when you realised your power
Actions speak louder than words.
When you donโt do as you say you loose credibility with YOURSELF. You will be your harshest critic if you let yourself down.
Take massive action
The fertile soil lies in the valleys not on the mountain top. If you find yourself in a valley be mindful of what seeds you are planting. We reap what we sow.

If you are feeling like you have hit a wall and repeatedly facing the same battles, this is your call to now go beyond it.
Go through the storm and see what beauty awaits on the other side
@xmetodayoff
There is more than enough business out there for everyone to win and more than enough competition to make sure we always bring our best to the game
Our biggest breakthrough comes when we are willing to get uncomfortable.
When we step out we face criticism and ridicule and that often shows us that we are on the right track.
Those closest to us often resist the change that we are undergoing
Success often comes unexpectedly
You donโt know what post will resonate with a potential customer or which one might blow up
Keep creating, continue the journey
Once you have walked the journey you develop understanding at a whole new level.
All the theory, research, concepts get thrown out of the window when life hands you the real practical lesson
When you react you let others control you.
When you respond, you are in control.
~ Bohdi Sanders
Are you the Architect or the Firefighter of your life?
Are we loosing touch with our humanity and relying on technology too much?
I see AI art, automated posts, Chat GPT written emails and scripts.
There is huge value in embracing technology, but at what cost ๐ค

Our coaching practice is called crAzy always wins
We rebranded 11 years ago. Seems like being crazy in this world gets you moving in the right direction
This incredible wife of mine. Deep into her Mastermind training. Changing lives and empowering women.
I love that we both get to work from home and hang out with each other every day
I realised this morning that my anxiety drives me to take action. I have been searching myself as to how my anxiety has been serving me all these years. Now that I finally see it I am able to start working on creating new action triggers

In 2019 my 19 year old daughter got me into affiliate marketing made money in 24hrs and I was intrigued.
Affiliate marketing is more accessible and faster. Coaching feeds my soul

There seems to be some conflicting information around release of gh and number of times a week to sauna. Some research points to only one day of sauna a week.

Until you burnout. I was gung-ho in my 30's and suffered a complete burnout because I ignored the signs along the way. When your car warning light comes on you check it out, we should do the same with ourselves
Discipline is not an isolated thing it is a way of life.
Some people are disciplined in one aspect of life but find themselves lacking in other areas.
What area of life are you most disciplined in
@KarreHuff
Visualisation tools are one of the 1st things we teach our sales team after the practical onboarding. The ones who get the concept tend to be more effective at achieving their goals
Putting it all together.
It is somewhat slow progress yet it is progress.
The past few days have felt like time steps. Yet looking back at the month I have made a heap of progress. Even tiny steps in the right direction count
@DiogoCosCardoso
The quiet man is listening and paying attention. It is easy to โwinโ an argument when the other person has spoken themselves in circles.
@coachamed
Philosophy, our future, our habits, leaving a legacy
Those are generally the topics we discuss.
3 x a week a few of us hit the sauna and have robust conversations and hold each other accountable to our highest versions of ourselves
This is not the 1st time
Years ago we ran a Mastermind. We invited a guest speaker who owned a 5* Big 5 Game Reserve . They were not hitting occupancy targets. A consultant advised them to increase their rates and within a month the occupancy rate exceeded target
@treasureoguike
We grew up without running water or electricity in our house until I was about 10 years old. Most of our fresh food we grew ourselves and my brother & I used to milk goats before school. I will never forget my roots ๐๐ผ
You ever get those days where you just feel tired. Tired of the grind, tired of the Noโs, tired of the window shoppers?
It has been one of those days.
I get them more often than I would like to admit.

Inspect what you Expect.
Track your numbers
Are you working towards an outcome or are you just working?
What is your intention behind the work you are doing?
That would be where I would start for myself personally
@davidlovejoyx
Decide one way or another. You get to keep deciding and that set in motion all sorts of unexpected opportunities

A simple way to look at it: Like Attracts Like
Are you thinking, speaking, behaving or looking like the people you want to attract ?
Be the type of person you want to attract
I cannot wait to visit India again.
Next year we finally start up one of our businesses in India and the excitement is real.
It has been years in process and things are finally aligned ๐ช๐ฝ
Itโs a Public Holiday today
It is also a Monday, and the 1st of the month.
We have scheduled time for work and time for rest.
Beginning with the end in mind
But then you remember why you started. You remember the victories. The thrill of doing what you love.
The next breakthrough is on its way.
You have got this.
It is in the challenge that you get to realise your strength
