Today is my 9 year wedding anniversary...
And we had a terrible day. We’ve all been sick for days. I had to go back to my day job today. My wife spent the whole day alone with 2 sick toddlers who decided today was the day to test the limits. I came home to chaos. Kids yelling. Exhausted wife. I had to go straight into enforcer mode. The rest of the night sucked. Not exactly the anniversary we planned. This is exactly why I’m building what I’m building. Not to buy fancy stuff or flex for social media. For days like today. So we can celebrate our anniversary instead of just survive it. I subscribe to the ā€œextreme ownershipā€ philosophy that every outcome you achieve (or don’t) is directly controlled by you. I know there are outside forces. But whether you build the life you want or not is totally up to you. And I have a lot working against me. I can make the day job excuse all I want. But that’s mine to deal with cause guess what? I’m not where I want to be yet. I AM a hell of a lot closer than I was this time last year. And it doesn’t really matter whether I have a day job or not. Because I’m not giving myself another fucking option. I will not beat my body down at a job for another 30 years. I won’t spend the rest of my life being the stressed about money dad/husband who can’t give my family the best version of me. I will put the lake in my backyard. Or I will die trying. I don’t have any other option. So here’s to 9 years with my best friend. Even on the hard days. Especially on the hard days.

Happy Anniversary! The next one will be a 180 from today.
"Can you hop on a quick call?"Ā 
Hey Chooser. If you deal with clients you’ve heard this too many times. "Can you hop on a quick call?" It's never quick. And it always happens during dinner. Right before bed. Saturday morning. At your kid's game.. Because when you have clients you're always on call. They're paying you, so you answer. Even when you're exhausted. Even when it's your day off. Even when you're with your family. The more clients you get, the worse it gets. I talked to a friend last week who has 6 different clients. Making good money… but also getting Slack messages at 10pm. "Quick question" texts on Sunday. Scope creep on every project. Great money… But less freedom than ever. That's the trap nobody talks about. He didn't build the lifestyle business we’re all after. He just added more bosses. Is the price worth it? Spending nights answering "quick questions". Weekends catching up on scope creep. Not being present with family. We see it all the time. People grinding harder and harder. Making more money. But having less freedom than when they started. There's a different way. And it doesn't require you to work harder or get more clients.

I always cringe any time anyone wants to hop on a "quick call", client or not. No, just no. Messenger works.

@Dale Backers Right!
I don't remember my son's first steps...
I don't know if I was home. I don't know if I was at work. I don't know if I was in the basement on a Zoom call with a client. I just... don't remember. My son Nolan is such a light in my life. The kid who laughs at everything I do. Who runs to the door when I come home. My wife probably told me. I probably told him "that's awesome bud" while staring at my phone putting out whatever fire needed putting out that day. The worst part is that I DO remember Kaden's first steps (My son Kaden is Nolan's older brother). Every detail. It was New Year’s Day 2023. Sitting in the living room. My hands under his armpits. Telling him ā€œready set goā€ and gently pulling my hands away. Him taking 7 wobbly steps toward my wife before he fell into her arms. I was there. We recorded it. I sent it to my parents and in laws. But a year later with Nolan? Nothing. That's when I knew I was broken. Not that I missed it (maybe I did, maybe I didn't). But that I was so tired, so fried, so burned out from the 9-5 grind and "building my business" on the side that I can't even tell you if I was there for my son's milestone. Physically present. But mentally cooked. You know who never missed their kids stuff? My boss. He'll leave at noon on a Tuesday, no explanation needed. Meanwhile I'm answering his "quick questions" at dinner, eating lunch while I drive from one job to the next, and wondering how I became the dad who can't remember. This won’t be my story anymore. And if you're half present for the things that matter most because you're too exhausted to actually BE there... It shouldn't be yours either. Monday I told you I found a different way. I'm going to show you what that looks like... and why it's nothing like what you've been taught. Because I'll be damned if I miss another milestone.

I need your help!
If you’re in Ronin you may have seen this already… The last few months I’ve worked hard to do as much cool shit as possible so I can be a true 50/50 partner on my book with @Travis Sago Now I need your opinion… I played in canva for at least an hour šŸ˜… Which cover best captures the energy of the book? I’ve attached 3 different versions (don’t laugh too hard at my design skills 🤣) A little feedback goes a long way. Please take a sec and drop your pick belowšŸ‘‡
