I am returning to the farm from Del Mar, California after an incredible week spent with some incredible humans IRL at MMT (like several of the humans you see below):
Pictured clockwise from upper left: Jayson Gaignard (Co-founder of MMT), Sunny Lenarduzzi (Founder, Authority Accelerator) , Taki Moore (Founder, Million Dollar Coach), Justin Donald (Founder, Lifestyle Investor) & Brad Weimert (Founder, EasyPayDirect), Charlie Hoehn (Founder, Author.Inc), and Simon Bowen (Founder, ModelsMethod).
And I could probably write an entire newsletter about each of these incredible humans – what I’ve learned from them, and how they’ve impacted my life.
Â
But what I’m reflecting on at this moment upon returning home, are the pages and pages of hand-written notes I’m walking away with from my time at the event…
Â
(And in particular, a few “quick ideas” I wrote down that are really making me think – and which I think, may make you think as well…)
Â
And because I’ve made a promise to my boys to take them skiing today after being away all week (and because I’m catching up on a few projects here on the farm for Tylene), I’m going to keep today’s issue quite a bit shorter than you may be used to…)
Â
So if you haven’t had a chance to read last week’s [Issue #035]: Why the Struggle is the Solution, or the previous week’s [Issue #034]: How to Become “Antifragile” or the week before’s [Issue #033]: The Coming Collapse? – this is a great opportunity to catch up on all three – which go deep on those respective topics…
Â
But in the meantime to give you something to reflect on here today, without further ado, here are:
12 Quick Ideas from My Personal, Handwritten Notes that are Really Making Me Think Right Now.
