#5 Sunday Summary
No shoes, Twitter friends, and the Instagram playbook
3 Quick Lessons: 🗣
1. “What’s next?” Mentality
Made a mistake. What’s next?
Made a great play. What’s next?
Had a bad day. What’s next?
Had a great day. What’s next?
Life doesn’t stop for anyone. Keep moving forward. What’s next?
2. Choose Education > Entertainment
Everything changed for me when I replaced video games with a book.
Use your spare time to build the life you want, Not escape the one you have.
3. What comes easy, won’t last long. What lasts long, won’t come easy.
The people at the top of the mountain didn’t fall there. It takes years of relentless focus and unwavering discipline.
2 Cool Quotes: 💬
“I cursed the fact that I had no shoes—until I saw the man who had no feet.”- Persian Proverb
“Life tends to reward those who patiently invest in themselves with a long-term focus.” - Jay Yang
Keep plugging away. Keep building in public. Keep improving everything.
1 Short Story: Mondays… amirite?
It was Monday morning, and boy was I nervous.
Today was the BIG day.
I had a big speech coming up that would make or break my grade.
Not only that, but I had a math quiz and a big accounting project (that I barely started) that was due too.
I was dreading today.
I felt like I was stuck in a hamster wheel—moving but not making any progress.
But what could I do?
So, I did the only thing I could do…
I sucked it up and went to school.
Long story short, I gave my speech, did my math quiz, and somehow turned in my accounting project in on time. *yippee*
The point I’m trying to make is:
1) Problems always seem big until you go through them.
Stress, anxiety, and fear are not real.
They’re figments of our imagination.
Feel is not real.
2) Prepare better than me 😅

What Happened This Week:
I reached 400 friends on Twitter!!
🎊 I finished my PSAT tests this week (Pre-test for the standardized test for the U.S.).
💎 I got into the Modern Mastery course and community (Thanks Dan Koe).
🤔 Thinking about creating a community/clothing brand/NFT project called:
“The Club ⚜️” A group of elite creators, founders, entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, and creatives. *don’t steal my idea :)*
🥳 I finished “The Instagram Playbook”, a 75 page e-book on how to start and grow a personal brand on Instagram. (I’ll be launching an early bird sale soon)
🤫 I’m writing a short e-book called “bye-bye bad bio”, it’s about how to craft a compelling bio that converts + FREE templates.
That’s it! Thanks for sticking with me to the end, I know it was a longer edition 😅
See you next week!
