“You’re not a tree”
One of the most influential conversations I’ve ever had began as it often did, back when I was in the public school. I was complaining about the work load, the lapses in administrative ethics…
A dear friend turned to me, and says “you’re not a tree.” The seemingly random statement threw me for a moment. But the meaning hit.
I huffed. “Education is everything I’ve ever done. What? I go get an entry level job in a new field?!” He smirked, patted my forehead and said “aww. Did someone forget how to learn stuff?”
You may laugh. I did. You might say “How RUDE!?!” I didn’t. I laughed, took his advice, and started Flippin’ Math. Since 2017, I’ve learned a great deal about websites, setting up an email list. All the baby entrepreneur things, working to build my life, as opposed to accept it. I’m excited about Skool, about having a community to build the “something better”.
Anyone else hit that wake-up and make a change moment?
