Well, it's time for the annual hunting trip. I'll be gone (potentially off-grid) for the next couple of weeks. I'll try to post when I can, but I can't promise anything. During this time, I challenge you to look back at 2025 and thoroughly assess how it's gone so far. If you had any goals, did you achieve them? If not, why not (yet)? As you probably have noticed, I'm a firm believer in not just setting goals, but in developing a plan to attain them. When I return, I'll address this issue more in depth as we finish up 2025 and get ready for 2026. Thank you all for your engagement and don't be afraid to post in the community! Let me leave you with a quote to ponder... One day you will wake up and there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted to do. Do it now! -- Paulo Coelho

Hey everybody, I have been trying for two days to upload the new Socratic Warrior Action Checklist to the classroom, but Skool is being very finicky. So, I'm going to attach it to this post. Let me know if it works for you and if you have questions or comments...I'm here for you! Have a GREAT weekend 😎

Here's a thought... most headstones list the date you were born and the date you died. For example, May 11, 1955 - April 27, 2021. The beginning and the end don't really matter. What does matter is the dash (-) between them. That's YOUR life! That's everything you did or didn't do. That's all the regrets you take to the grave with you. That's all the hopes and dreams you left lying on the table... Here's one of my favorite Les Brown quotes: "The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream." To focus on the '-' right now, do what Neil Gaiman suggests: "You’re alive. That means you have infinite potential. You can do anything, make anything, dream anything." Probably my most favorite quote on living, dying, and the in between (-): "You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending," said C.S. Lewis. And finally, from Braveheart and attributed to William Wallace: "Every man dies, not every man lives!" So, what's it gonna be, "One day or day one?" LET'S GO!!!

Today I received my 🔥...I'm so excited!!!

You've probably heard that expression before. But what does it mean to you? This goes back to a post I did previously about knowing yourself. Nobody cares that you know all the words to your favorite songs. Nobody cares that you can cite meaningless statistics for your favorite team. Nobody cares that you know the exact times and channels for all your favorite TV shows. Nobody cares that you just bought something you don't need with money you don't have to impress people who don't give a hoot about you. Nope, none of it matters. What does matter is how you measure up to your standards, and whether you are doing everything in your power to get better! As a person who loves helping and watching people succeed, that's what matters! How do you measure up to your standards? Not anyone else's...YOURS!
