I’m reading a book called The War of Art and I’m reminded that the real enemy to our progress isn’t lack of talent… it’s resistance. Resistance shows up as hesitation. As overthinking. As “I’ll start tomorrow.” As telling yourself you need one more tutorial, one more plan, one more perfect moment. But the truth is, resistance doesn’t show up when something doesn’t matter. Resistance shows up when you’re getting close to the thing that could change your life. So if you feel the pull to procrastinate today…If your mind is trying to talk you out of learning something new…If you're convincing yourself you’re not ready yet… Good. That’s the signal. That means you’re right on the edge of growth. Instead of trying to defeat resistance in one big heroic moment, do what actually works: Show up for one small action. Learn one thing. Try one messy draft. Take one uncomfortable step. You don’t need to win the war today. You just need to win this moment. Because motion breaks resistance. Momentum quiets the fear. And once you start, everything gets easier. So ask yourself: What is the one simple thing you can do today...right now...that Resistance doesn’t want you to do? Do that. Post it below. Let’s make today the day we move forward anyway.

If you have any public web app (especially something “vibe-coded” and deployed fast), there’s a critical security issue affecting some apps built with Next.js + React Server Components (App Router). In plain English: in unpatched setups, an attacker may be able to take control of your server without logging in, and potentially access things like API keys, database credentials, and environment variables. Who should care? ✅ You should care if: - Your app uses Next.js App Router / React Server Components (common in modern Next.js projects). - Your app was online and not patched in early December 2025 (active scanning/exploitation has been reported). ❌ You’re likely not affected if: - You’re on Next.js 13, Next.js 14 stable, or using the Pages Router (older routing style). ✅ What to do (no jargon, 5–15 minutes) If you’re NOT technical (but you own/operate the app) 1. Message whoever built your site/app today:“Please check if we use Next.js App Router / React Server Components and patch the React2Shell vulnerability.” 2. After patching, ask them to rotate secrets (API keys, DB passwords). Next.js explicitly recommends this if you were online and unpatched around Dec 4, 2025. If you ARE technical (or you have your repo) - Follow the official Next.js advisory and upgrade to a patched version + redeploy. - Easiest path: run the official fixer tool:npx fix-react2shell-next - Then rotate secrets after redeploying (important). Extra layer (nice to have, not a substitute for patching) Some platforms/WAFs have deployed protections (e.g., Cloudflare), but the real fix is still upgrade + redeploy. Shipping fast is awesome. Shipping safe is the real advantage ✅

It felt great to receive the certificate, but now that we've gone this far, I don't want it to end 😃. I know it's important to continue staying on top of new milestones in this technology and that we do it by trying new things. I don't remember whether it was Igor or Dean who said that learning how to use AI is like training a muscle so it doesn't forget how to make it all work. Or, something like that. I think I will have withdrawals after next week. There's so much more to learn, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's Bootcamp 2 coming up soon. 😃 @Dean Graziosi Right? 🤣

I’ve noticed the top 1% all do 1 thing differently with AI… They don’t use AI for answers. They use it to find Questions. I’ll show you how to transform ChatGPT from a perpetual glazer who gives you generic feel-good advice into a strategic AI Sparring Partner that truly challenges and sharpens your thinking. # Step 1. Build Your AI Second Brain First, start a new chat in ChatGPT. Use this prompt and spend 30-45 minutes answering deeply. Be honest about your weaknesses. Share your data. Share what you really think. This builds the context right in your chat: PROMPT 1: "I want you to understand ME. I’m a [Role] at [Your Business]. Ask me every question you need to truly understand my business, goals, customers, and challenges." # Step 2. Activate Your AI Sparring Partner In the SAME chat, use this prompt: PROMPT 2: "Based on everything you know about me, become my AI Sparring Partner. When I present an idea, your first response should include 3-5 questions I haven’t thought about, counterarguments, blind spots, or risks." # Step 3 Go ahead and type any idea :)

The fastest way to get a post removed is to talk about the actual risks. Not the fluffy “AI can help you be productive” talk. Not the “10 cool automations for your business” talk. But the uncomfortable truth that if we don’t pay attention, AI will happily outperform us… and then out-prioritize us. Some folks call that “fear-based.” I call it paying attention. Silencing people who raise concerns doesn’t make the concerns go away. It just makes sure we face them later… unprepared. We’re told: “Focus on the positive. Stay constructive.” Cool. But guess what every guardrail ever built started with someone saying a negative outcome was possible. If we only allow conversations where everyone nods and smiles, then congratulations we’ve already automated the most dangerous thing of all: Critical thinking. AI doesn’t have to censor us. We’re doing a pretty good job of that ourselves. NIX…put that in your pipe and smoke it…
