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. Good seats were available. Not cheap, but available. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, literally in my backyard. So what did I do? I waited. Thought about it. Told myself I'd decide tomorrow. And by the time I finally said "yes, this is happening"... they were gone. Sold out. No more seats. The opportunity I'd dreamed about for years, close enough to touch, vanished because I hesitated. I still think about it sometimes. Not in a dramatic, regret-filled way. But as a reminder of what waiting actually costs. The perfect moment doesn't come back around. The "I'll think about it" tax is real. And the things we put off rarely get easier to decide later. I'm not telling you this to pressure you into buying something. I'm telling you because I've watched people do the same thing with their businesses. "I'll set up those automations next month." "I'll fix my follow-up system when things slow down." "I'll invest in better tools once I have more revenue." And then a year goes by. Nothing changes. The opportunity cost piles up invisibly.

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...
There are three things I believed early in my career that kept me stuck for years. I'm guessing you've heard them too. Maybe you still believe them. I hope not. Because they're lies. Lie #1: "You need to work harder." This one almost killed me. (Figuratively. Mostly.) I spent years grinding 14 to 16 hour days, convinced that more effort was the answer. If the business wasn't growing fast enough, I just needed to push harder. The truth? I didn't need to work harder. I needed better systems....
