Happy New Year. Let's build something.

Happy New Year. I want to tell you something a little embarrassing. As much as I live and work and operate in the digital world, there's something about pen and paper I can't seem to shake. Specifically: new notebooks. Nothing symbolizes a fresh start to me more than cracking open a brand new notebook. The blank pages. The potential. The feeling that this could be the one where everything comes together. And I'm not talking about fancy leather-bound journals. Coiled, stapled, bound... doesn't matter. Dollar Store special, 89 cents a piece, works just fine. There's something about that blank first page that tricks my brain into believing: "Okay. This time it's different. This time I'm going to figure it out." And here's the thing. Sometimes it actually is different. Not because of the notebook. But because of the energy behind it. The decision to start fresh. To draw a line between "before" and "after" and commit to building something new. That's what today is. A blank page. A fresh start. A chance to make this year look different from the last one. But here's what I've learned after years of fresh starts that fizzled: energy fades. Motivation is unreliable. The only thing that sticks is systems. The notebook doesn't build the business. The systems do. The automations that follow up when you forget. The sequences that nurture leads while you sleep. The infrastructure that keeps things moving whether you feel inspired or not. That's what separates the resolutions that work from the ones that die by February. HighLevel's New Year Promotion is live. 50% off your first three months. Runs through January 5. New?

Last year I had a conversation with a chiropractor who was spending $3,000 a month on ads. Good ads, actually. The leads were coming in. Twenty, thirty new inquiries a week. On paper, everything looked great. But here's what was actually happening: those leads would hit his inbox around 2pm. He'd see them at 6pm after his last adjustment. He'd tell himself he'd follow up tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning would get busy. By the time he actually reached out (sometimes two or three days later),...
I'm always a bit nervous to tell this story. Because the way I did things is probably not the way I'd recommend to you or anyone I care about. But it's hard to argue with the results. And there's something strange that happens to the human brain when you commit fully and burn the boats. Here's the short version: I used to be a pilot. Business jets. Sounds glamorous, right? The problem is, the whole point of being a pilot is flying away somewhere. And I'm a homebody. I like my routine. I like...
I want to tell you about something I've never really talked about publicly. A few years ago, I was in Nice, France for a work trip. Beautiful city. Great food. And just 20 minutes away from Monaco. The Monaco Grand Prix was happening that weekend. If you know anything about Formula 1, you know Monaco is the race. The most prestigious track on the calendar. Cars screaming through narrow streets, inches from the barriers. I'd wanted to see it in person my entire life. And I was right there....
