Don't let the opinion of cowards influence what you think or do. The future depends on it.

The biggest lie we tell ourselves sounds harmless: “I’ll start when the time is right.” If you’re going to quit anything… Quit telling yourself you’ll start tomorrow. Quit watching videos about the thing instead of doing the thing. Quit waiting for motivation to do the work. Most people never get what they want because they’re always preparing to begin.

The older I get, the more I realize the power of always having something on the calendar you're excited about. It can really be anything. Difficult physical challenge, big project, fun trip, ambitious goal, whatever. It creates energy and gets you through the lows. Life hack.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is step back long enough to see clearly again. Not quit. Not disappear. Just breathe. Clarity usually shows up when we stop trying to force it. thecreativenewsletter.beehiiv.com

Leadership is not just what you say in the meeting. It’s the energy you bring into the room. The tone you set. The way people feel after they interact with you. You can create calm or chaos. Choose carefully. thecreativenewsletter.beehiiv.com

I’m convinced discipline is just the highest form of self-respect. It’s choosing what you want most over what you want now. It’s keeping your word. It’s an act of service to your future self.

My honest advice to someone who wants to make a lot of money. 3 things nobody told you: 1. The only way to make a lot of money is to create a lot of value. No one hands out money. No one is going to pay you just because they like you or think you're cool. That's not the way the world works. Money earned is a direct byproduct of value created. Create value, receive value. If money is the goal, value has to be the focus. This isn't just some vague idea: The only way to get rich is to create an enormous amount of value for others, and capture a small portion of that along the way. It's not talking about the thing, it's not brainstorming about the thing, it's not asking about the thing, it's not thinking about the thing. The only way to create value is by doing the thing. And if you don't know where to start, look around you. Customers, colleagues, bosses, shareholders, employees. Every single one of them has a problem. What problems can you solve for the people around you? Figure them out, solve them, scale that solution. That's how you make money. 2. You have to demonstrate excellence in everything you do. Your income scales proportional to the amount of excellence that you're able to demonstrate. Strategic incompetence is a lie. You don't get to pick and choose when to show up, because the world will ignore your best and judge you for your worst. Everything matters. Every single thing. Top performers show up with energy and enthusiasm for the little things just as much as they do for the big things. If you're in the top-10% of performers, there's no ceiling for what you can do. But the self-awareness to identify where you currently stack up, and adapt to the honest feedback on it, is very rare. If you're in the top-10%, you know it. If you're not, figure out why and fix it. 3. You don't need passion, you need energy. I still have no idea what it means to follow your passion. You don't have to be passionate about your professional pursuits, you just need to find energy in them. You just need to feel a pull towards them. You just need to feel that spark of curiosity in them. Passion is usually a byproduct of energy. When you have energy for something, you'll give it your deep attention to learn more. You’ll ask the right questions. You’ll figure it out. You’ll win. *** And remember: Nobody is coming to save you. It’s just you. There’s a power in that. Go do the thing.

You’re not behind. You’re building. You’re learning. You’re adjusting. You’re becoming the kind of person who can carry what you’re asking for. The pace might feel slow, but that doesn’t mean you’re off track. More here: thecreativenewsletter.beehiiv.com
