Thanks to all!

I made this short to try and get momentum to record the video I’ve had planned for a week. Wish me luck!

Here I am greeting you (in this 4min video) while traveling on a cruise ship. It was a business trip but turned into a much needed break. I recorded 9 videos back-to-back, not wanting to stop recording. That did not include the test videos I recorded before each video. Now that I am re-acclimated back to work, I will continue with the Creator Breakthrough Series. https://bit.ly/CBTJan10th2026

🏋️‍♂️ Challenge: I recently came across someone mentioning a 14 video in 14 days challenge. I said it sounded impossible, but here I am trying it for myself and I'm five days in. This is on my project-management/office-professional focused channel. Mostly, I use it just to test stuff out and get comfortable with speaking and posting. 🤓 Stats: My day-one video only has 43 impressions at the moment. Yesterday morning's video got about 1.3K impressions in the first 2 hours! Sadly, it was pretty unfocused, mostly discussing my new gimbal and how I want to get good at filming in public. It's only got 10 views, but I was shocked at the impression number yesterday morning, since I wasn't expecting more than 50. 📹 Next steps: Inspired, I went out and shot a video in the freezing cold discussing how not to bomb in a company meeting. We'll see what comes of a more value-focused video. P.S. My weekly video on the German-to-English channel is tanking! 😭

"Last Friday was National Quitters Day. The point in January when a lot of New Year’s resolutions quietly fall apart. I don’t think most people quit because they lack discipline. I think they quit because they try to optimize before something is actually installed. 🧠 A reminder I’ve been sitting with: You can’t optimize a habit that doesn’t exist yet. We want the clean system. The perfect routine. The most efficient version. But we’re often trying to refine something that hasn’t become normal yet. I see this pattern a lot. And I catch myself in it too. ✅ Habits that feel solid and embodied for me right now: 🟢 Morning routine 🟢 Meditation 🟢 Working out 🟢 Morning time with my wife These don’t require much effort anymore. They’re just part of my day. 🛠️ Habits I’m actively installing right now: Not improving. Not streamlining. Installing. 🟡 Morning and evening Skool check ins One for presence One for intentional outreach 🟡 A simple weekly posting rhythm Repeatable Almost boring on purpose 🟡 A layered planning approach Rough draft at the start of the quarter Second pass the month before Final adjustments during the month With room for real life to shape things What’s been humbling is how often I want to optimize these too early. Templates. Tools. Timing tweaks. All useful. Just not yet. 🚶 Last week was a good reminder that momentum matters more than precision. Movement installs habits. Refinement comes later. Once something is in motion, optimization helps. Before that, it often just slows things down. 🪞There’s also an identity layer here that feels important. Habits tend to stick when they match who we believe we are becoming. Not because we force them. But because they feel natural to maintain. If you want to share: What’s one habit you’ve been trying to improve before it’s actually installed? Or said another way: What kind of person are you practicing being this year?"
