8:42

I hit the pool again this afternoon. I started swimming on May 26th. I haven't missed a day. I swim 14 laps (each lap is 25 yards). I'd swim 2 laps (roughly 1 minute) and take a 1 minute break. I've improvd, so now I swim 4 laps at a time. And take maybe a 30 second break. It used to take me about 13 minutes to finish. A couple weeks ago I started timing myself. First real number I clocked was 9:08. I couldn't beat it. I'd come close, and miss it by 3 seconds, miss it by 10, miss it by a lot. I started to wonder if 9:08 was just my ceiling. Thursday I did it in 8:56. On Saturday, 8:46. Today, I did it in 8:42. It's gonna take some time to beat that, as I felt like I was moving today. Swimming is me vs. me. I ain't racing anyone, just the clock. Same game we play online. you ain't racing the dude showing off $50k months. His month one might have been 4 years ago. Or 13 years ago. he might have an expensive team. You're just trying to be better than last month (it doesn't have to be more money, either). The death trap is comparing your journey to someone else's. Comparisonitis will have you feeling behind in a race nobody invited you to. You're not behind. My 13 minutes times. My 10 minute times. My 8 minutes times all count. They're all "done beats perfect" in a Speedo 😜 The version of you who shows up daily and finishes slow will always beat the version of who's waiting to go fast before starting. I'll jump in the pool with the goal to beat 8:42. I might and I might not beat it. Either way, I'm getting in the water. YOU GOT THIS 🙌 In your corner, |

Ava, Ashton, my parents and myself went to Chick-fil-A for lunch today. We got there around noon, and the place was packed. No surprise. The staff running around with smiles and trays in each hand, saying, "my pleasure" like they meant it. As my Dad was wiping salt off his hands from the waffle fries, I got to thinking about Chick-fil-a's operation. They sell chicken. Nothing else. Sandwiches, nuggets, strips, delicious waffle fries and milkshakes. You ain't gonna find burgers, tacos,...
On Wednesday, I told you I took the feedback I got from MonetizedOS and rebuilt it into something simpler, more powerful. It's called Jax. One AI, one conversation. You tell it what you're building, an offer, your story, your voice, your sales page, and it builds it with you, right there in the chat. No picking between nine different tools anymore. No figuring out which one solves your problem before you've even started. I'm also reviving the Skool community, 3 Hour Creators. I dropped the...
We have a sauna here in our neighborhood. It's gym, sauna, then I swim laps. That be my daily routine. Well, some of the older guys have been pouring water on the coals in the sauna. It's electric, so it doesn't work that way. The sauna has been out of commission for several weeks now. They finally fixed it on Thursday. I was in a sauna for a few minutes by myself yesterday. A man walked in and sat down. I saw him in the sauna on Thursday. I see him walking daily in the neighborhood. We got...
