A lesson in speed (and surprises)
|
I finally made good on a promise I made 6 months ago. We took the kids go-karting last night! Something I said we'd do late last summer (once the weather cooled off) They were ecstatic! I was nervous. This was their 1st time. Here's the thing... They were naturals out there on the track! Especially our daughter, who blew past every expectation I had. She was weaving in and out, hugging the turns, and was calm as a cucumber. I unfairly underestimated her. She wasn't just good. She was 10x better than I expected her to be. On the drive home, that got me thinking.... How many times do we put "speed limits" on other people? Especially, people we love. How often do we put our fears onto others? Whether it be parenting, relationships or business. Our doubts say more about US than THEM. The lesson from go-karting: Let people surprise you. Give them the wheel. Step back and watch them race past your expectations. You might just learn that you're the one who's been going too slow. YOU GOT THIS 🙌 In your corner, When you're ready, here are a couple of ways I can help you…

This morning, I got a DM from someone with 140,000 Instagram followers. Her question? "What's your secret to success?" I stared at the message. Blinked twice. Took a bite of my eggs (I eat 10 eggs/day, in case you're new 'round here), then replied: "I'm a stubborn MFer" Here's the exchange: That's it. That's the "secret". I’ve failed more times than I can count. I've had launches that flopped (that hurt my pride & ego!) Burned cash on ads that didn’t convert. Spent months posting Reels that...
Yesterday sucked. I'd rather dig my eyeballs out with plastic spoons. My website was down for 3/4 of the day yesterday. I lost $84.63 because my ads were going to a broken site. Luckily, someone brought it to my attention yesterday evening. I panicked. I spent hours last night troubleshooting it (read: frantic Googling), and finally crashed in bed at 1:38 am. The good news? It's fixed now. I woke up to $178 in sales. And an email from a lady named Sarah. She joined the Digital Product...
We spent the entire day at Universal Studios yesterday. We got to the park at 9:30. Gates opened at 10. The weather was perfect (75 & sunny) The lines were long. We rode 6 rides in that time span. Today, we plan to buy the Express pass. Skip the line, and hopefully ride a lot more rides this go around. It costs money, but it gets us the results faster. Similar with running ads. I've posted 1 Reel since on vacation. Yet, made $746 yesterday. And $719 on Tuesday. I had systems working for me...
