How to Build the Lifestyle You Want (and Why I Started this Blog)

Back in 7th grade, I remember my science teacher who taught our class the importance of taking notes and reviewing them nightly.

When test time came, the proof was in the results – I knew the answer to every question.

Once we leave school, most people stop proactive learning. Of course, as an employee, you further your knowledge within a specific job.

But do you write down your own ideas?

How often do you write down what you want to accomplish and review your progress?

This habit is the #1 thing that has given me the confidence to push myself forward.

When it’s on paper, you can no longer forget. You can’t push it aside. It’s a great form of accountability.

EXAMPLES

1) Here is the brainstorm that led to writing my book, Create Your Freedom.

2) My current whiteboard with ideas for emails (that you’ll get soon)!

3) A notepad on my desk where I jot down random thoughts, that often make their way into a blog or video.

If you are not doing this, I’ll all but guarantee you haven’t made significant progress towards creating the lifestyle you want. That requires a lot of thought, planning, testing, and adapting.

The REAL motivation for why I do this comes down to one simple reason.

When I turned 30, you could say I had a “quarter-life crisis” because I wasn’t close to the potential I knew I could reach. BTW, I plan on living to at least 120 years old
