Today's quote from the book: “Self-sabotage often masquerades as logic or humility, but its real motivation is fear.” Doing What You Know, Chapter 6, p. 93 This is why it feels so convincing. It doesn’t show up as panic. It shows up as a “smart reason” to wait. A “responsible” excuse to delay. A “humble” way to stay small. And because it sounds reasonable, you don’t fight it. You agree with it. The shift happens when you stop debating the story and start noticing what it’s protecting you from. Fear loves disguises. Clarity unmasks it. Write the most believable excuse you’ve been using lately. Under it, write the fear it’s protecting. Then take one 5-minute action anyway.

Have you read my book yet? Do you have a copy? If so, which format do you have?

Today's quote from the book: “Discipline, for many people, feels like punishment.” Doing What You Know, Chapter 7, p. 115 That’s the story most of us learned. No wonder we avoid it. But discipline isn’t a cage. It’s alignment. It’s choosing what you want most over what you want now. Keep the win tiny. Make it repeatable. Let proof change the way discipline feels. When the reps stack, discipline stops feeling heavy and starts feeling like freedom. Pick one 5-minute rep that serves what you want most today. Run it now and log it.

I want to share a recent conversation that came out of an Evolve Now Social networking event. This wasn’t a presentation or a training. It was a real discussion between community owners talking honestly about collaboration, growth, and what actually works when you stop trying to build in isolation. In this conversation, we talk about: - Why collaboration beats competing for attention - How community owners learn faster by sharing what’s working - What happens when builders support each other instead of going solo If you’re building a community, leading a group, or even thinking about what’s next for you, this is worth watching. 🎥 Watch the video here:https://youtu.be/yK2Y-DHNdgY?si=6QA9x4YIagjlV6cS Question for you after you watch: What’s one way collaboration could help you move faster right now? Drop it in the comments.
