...Most people wait for the perfect moment to start something new... ....but here's the truth... that perfect moment never comes... The ones who actually make it are the ones who started messy... ...started scared... started with zero experience... They figured it out along the way... Think about it... every expert you admire was once a complete beginner... They just refused to let fear keep them stuck... So whatever you've been putting off... ....that business idea... ....that project... ...that conversation... just friggin start!!! You don't need permission... You don't need perfection... You just need to move... "The secret of getting ahead is getting started." — Mark Twain... What's one thing you've been putting off that you're going to start this week... Drop it in the comments... Let's hold each other accountable... Ps. Was it that MasterMind Group you were thinking of or was it something else... ??? Well... START it.

I keep on thinking about it every day.... actually many, many times during the day... why do I appreciate my own MasterMind Groups, AKA, Support Groups SO, SO Much? The answer is Quite Simple actually: I get to "hang out" and Learn from people that I know have my back and are smart and they really know what I am up against. ...and no way did this happen overnight. These bonds take TIME to build. You get there by showing up consistently, sharing what's really going on, and genuinely caring about the people you're building with. ... you get to know their problems... their abilities... what they are working towards and what is working and is NOT working for them... and you do your "level best" as to what you can do for them to help them succeed too.... ..... and guess what... this is Exactly what you get in return... you get someone that truly cares about you...that are constantly thinking of ways they can help you...or connect you.... or keep your "Chin Up" when things are down.... ... you get different viewpoints, insights, connections, introductions that you otherwise would NOT get unless they trusted you, cared for you and really have your best interest in mind. Please chime in.....

I posted this short 10 minute video that I hope you could get some value from as well. PS. Please Like, Subscribe and even Comment on it there.

...so I found this exercise "What's Cool About YOU" that's going to make you WAY more interesting to talk to. Seriously. I got this from Sean Stephenson (the three-foot-tall giant, may he rest in peace)... ....and it's called "What's Cool About You?" Here's the deal... ...when we meet people in Skool communities, we do the boring stuff: "I'm a course creator" or "I run a marketing agency" or whatever. YAWN. 🥱 But what if you could share the WEIRD, COOL, RANDOM stuff about yourself that actually makes people go "Wait, WHAT? Tell me more about that!" That's what this exercise does. It helps you remember (and share) the stuff you've done or experienced that you normally wouldn't mention... but which opens the door to WAY deeper, more fun, and more intellectual conversations. ...because let's be honest... nobody remembers the person who said "I do Facebook ads." But they DEFINITELY remember the person who said "I once trained myself to become #3 in the world at footbag" or "I have a street dog in India named Scooby who's in charge of 12th Road." 😂 HERE'S THE EXERCISE: Write down everything that's COOL, WEIRD, INTERESTING, or UNIQUE about YOU. Not your business accomplishments (boring). YOUR life accomplishments. YOUR quirks. YOUR stories. Some examples to get you started: - "I was a vegetarian for 25 years" (then went back to eating meat like a savage) - "At twelve years old, I won a silver medal in sailing in the Norwegian championship" - "I became one of the biggest party promoters in San Francisco" - "I pet or talk to ALL dogs I meet on the street... because I know they need love" - "I was in the Army and became the second-best dog handler... with a BRAND NEW dog that had never been trained" (the winner had a dog that had been there for 6 years... just saying 😏) Or maybe you've got stuff like: - "I can solve a Rubik's cube in under 2 minutes" (okay, that's not impressive, but if it's under 30 seconds, NOW we're talking) - "I once ate 47 tacos in one sitting" (don't judge me) - "I taught myself to play ukulele during lockdown and now I annoy everyone at parties" - "I lived in a van for 6 months and loved every second of it" - "I can name every country in the world in under 5 minutes" (nerd alert)
