🎯 This hits home for me, "Have fun. We’re all gonna die"

🎯 This hits home for me, "Have fun. We’re all gonna die" - 💪🏼 ALEX

Hello, it's week ⑷ for me being part of Skool. I WILL HAVE FUN.

I'm excited, anxious, can't sleep, hopeful, still anxious 😬, and taking action.

💔

Coming into this project, I wanted to give myself 2-3 years to build it out.

After the tragic death of my friend, Chris (from 🔥🏢 Arson), last month, it made me realize we don't know if we have more time.

🙋🏻‍♂️ About my community: Good Neighbor, Delivering Happiness.

Good Neighbor is dedicated to supporting small, struggling family-owned businesses in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley by helping them gain visibility and build support.

I focus specifically on mom-and-pop, self-funded shops—not tech companies.

My goal is to assist these family-run businesses that are fighting to stay open by offering services in design, branding, digital marketing, and guidance on using new A.I. tools.

🫵 🚌 I'm here because...

💔 My Why: 25 years ago, I lost my dream business—not once, but three times—due to 9/11, the 2008 recession when I met you at Santana Row, and the 2020 pandemic while designing for Warren Buffet. Closing a business is heartbreaking, and as someone who’s rebuilt after loss, I deeply understand the challenges entrepreneurs face.

Seth Godin said it best: “The key to success is to stand out!”

🤓 Me:

I’ve had the privilege of working at Apple, designing for Warren Buffett, and being a founding brand and marketing designer for a Silicon Valley startup that supported over 14,000 small businesses.

As a designer by trade and a storyteller by design, I’m passionate about finding magic in the method. Creativity isn’t just about ideas — it’s about exceptional execution and flawless delivery.

A ton of great stuff bouncing around in my mind since watching Hormozi and Sam.

KEEP IT SIMPLE!

💪🏼 1. On focus and value creation (- $100M Offers).

"The best way to get rich is to provide massive amounts of value quickly."

🙋🏻‍♂️❓Do you feel like I'm offering great value if my price is very low❓

I saw an ad that said, "Hire a $150,000 agency for only $29.95 per month"—how does that make you feel❓

🙋🏻‍♂️I'm 50/50 on this, but can anyone give me their feedback regarding my services and offer❓

💪🏼 2. On enjoying the process.

"You have to love the grind because this process is going to take time. Find joy in the work and the journey, because it’s what you’ll spend most of your time on."

🙋🏻‍♂️‼️: 100% Alex!I started my first design business when I was 14 years old.

💪🏼 3. On time and relationships.

The importance of relationships in success and happiness.

"Surround yourself with people who push you to be better and make the journey worth it."

🙋🏻‍♂️❣️: Because of this quote, I came up with "Delivering Happiness".
