Most people don’t fail because they lack talent. They fail because they keep negotiating with their own potential. Every excuse is a small contract signed with mediocrity. Rip it up. Show up anyway. #mindset #growth #GenX #PressOn

The biggest waste of time & money? Gambling in any capacity: - casinos - betting on sports - lotteries - horse racing - 99% of crypto I am done with all of it.

My non-negotiables: • Daily walks to reset my mind • Daily prayer to anchor my spirit • 7–8 hours of sleep to recharge my body • 4 hours of deep work to move the business forward • 4 hours of family to remind me why it matters Miss one and life feels off balance. Stack
