After going through Bruno’s Time Mastery course, I realized that I didn’t know my 4 quadrants as well as I thought. (check it out here if you haven’t gone through it yet. It’s worth it!) So in January I decided to take it a little more seriously. I used google calendar to track every single thing I did. Color coding each of the 5 categories made it super helpful to visualize. They were: - Health (exercise/sleeping) - Relationships (family/friends) - Growth/Business time - Chores - 9-5 Before I reveal the % breakout for each, the reason why I wanted to do this was because I had AN IDEA of the time I was spending in all the areas, but I wanted to ACTUALLY know. Knowledge is power It also helped me stay accountable by blocking ‘growth work’ and family time in advance so I could plan around those and stick to a schedule the best I could. I try to keep my days as similar as possible with the only changes coming on the weekends when my family time replaces the 9-5 time. Same wake up every day, same bedtime everyday (unless I get sleepy lol). Since I’m a numbers nerd, here is the breakdown of each of the categories by percentage for January: - Health 36% - Relationships 25% - Growth/Business 14% - Chores 5% - 9-5 20% How do you think yours would shake out? It makes sense to me that Health and Relationships is over half, I feel like I’m good there. The Growth/Business is frustrating looking at it from this perspective, but it still comes out to about 25 hours/week. I don’t think I can physically do more right now without disrupting the Health or Relationships. I don’t want to say the growth/business is the most important, but that’s the push I’ve been making recently. So I’m in a stage of finding better uses for this time, rather than more of it I’d love to ‘offload’ the chores and 9-5 lol. The chores would probably free up more family time and the 9-5 would definitely free up more Growth/Business time.

Super excited about this week’s message, it really made me pause and reflect, and I hope it does the same for you. Quick updates first: • Big welcome to some of our newest members: @James Rhodes, @Kerry Souter, @Lidia Axe, @Leo Baldwin, @Cecilia Payne, @Graham Whiddett & @Jack Shiller (some of you have been active already, but making it official 😄) • I’m working on having a guest speaker for our Wednesday 7 pm call, focused on Freedom in life. I’ll confirm by tomorrow. • Leadership Launchpad Week 5 is live. If you want access, DM me or check it here. This week’s message comes down to playing the long game. Most people look for shortcuts or a big breakthrough moment, but real progress comes from quiet, repeated decisions over time. And playing the long game starts by asking yourself a few uncomfortable but powerful questions: Who am I, beyond titles and roles? Who am I becoming based on my habits and daily choices? Who will I be in the future? Winning the long game isn’t about perfection. It’s about intentional alignment, small disciplines, clear direction, and consistent action over time. Kudos to @Chris Wendt for a powerful post in @Georgiana D's community about personal growth, and that's exactly what it means to "become" a better version of yourself. So here’s the reflection I’ll leave you with this week: If your current habits stayed exactly the same, would you be proud of the person you’re becoming? PS: Sorry for the long video, that was done in one take 😅

Happy Friday 🙏🏽 In 4 GIFs, tell us a little about you 👇 How it works: 1️⃣ Post 4 GIFs in the same post answering these questions: 1. Where are you from? 2. What’s your favorite food? 3. What are you working on right now? (Skool, business, career, idea, life project, anything) 4. What do you love to do outside of work? 2️⃣ Like other people’s posts and comment on what you think their GIFs represent. Have fun with it. That’s it. No pressure. Just people getting to know each other better. Let’s make this fun 🎉

I don’t know how you guys feel about this community or Skool in general, but I can honestly say this has completely changed my life. And it’s wild to think I’ve only been here for about 3 months. Skool has changed the way I connect with people, the way I see others, the way I learn, grow, and progress. I finally found a place where we’re not judged, where people actually listen, support one another, share honestly, challenge one another with respect, and genuinely want to see one another win. A place where growth is encouraged, vulnerability is safe, and everyone understands that we’re all on our own journey, but we don’t have to walk it alone. The words below are just a few wins I’ve had from getting to know you so far, and I love this moment because this is only the beginning. There is no order of importance or preference, by the way. You also DON’T NEED TO READ IT ALL, you can skip directly to your name 😂 As we’re about to get into the topic of “communication,” I want to say this: words are extremely powerful. We’ll break that down and explain why very soon. Until then, I want to leave a note for the people who have made the biggest difference in my life here so far. @Jack Shiller - man, that IRL was only powerful because you were there. Meeting you in person was not only by coincidence, and I admire your effort to create such an amazing group and the name, I told you… The most appealing name I’ve seen. Jack, every day I wake up and show up here, I’m excited to engage with you because you’re such a positive person and a joy to be around. I admire your willpower to get out of your comfort zone and do something every day that you KNOW you don’t feel comfortable with, and that tells me where you’re going in life… success is right around the corner, brother. Moving away from your parents’ house to be here is a huge deal, and I admire you for that, too. And don’t forget, your public speaking skills are already amazing, and they’ll only get better from here.

Some songs have a way of slowing us down and making us reflect. Not just in the moment, but in the decisions, risks, and transitions that shape our lives. Life is full of “bridges.” New chapters, uncomfortable decisions, moments where you can’t see the other side yet. Fear doesn’t disappear as we grow, it just shows up differently. Growth happens when we keep moving forward anyway. Most of the meaningful things in life don’t come from playing it safe. They come from crossing the bridge, even when it’s uncomfortable. Do you agree? Also, Leadership Launchpad Week 4 is live in the classroom. For those who have access to it, make sure you’re in there and staying committed to the process. Now I’m curious 👇 Is there a song that makes you reflect on life, growth, or a big decision you’ve made? What does it represent to you? Drop it below. Let’s make this a strong last week of January. Let’s go 🔥
