I was inspired to envision my perfect day while going through Dan’s modules. At first, I thought, “I pretty much already have a perfect day.” Looking back, I can’t believe how limiting that thought process was. I mostly work from home, and we homeschool, so I often felt pulled in two directions. Guilt for not being with family when I was working. Guilt for not working when I was with family. I thought long and hard about what a perfect day actually looks like, and I wanted to share it here in case what I found might inspire someone else. This is brand new, so I can’t say how sustainable it is long term — but in the short term, what I’ve found has been magic. I’m up at 4:00am (this isn’t a big deal for me — done it in the past). (Stretch, supplement, shake, etc) From there, my boy isn’t up until around 7:30am, which gives me three solid hours of focused work. We have breakfast together, hit the beach, and hang out until around 11:00am. My wife usually takes him to the library, runs errands, or does playdough, colouring, or books with him until about 2:00pm, so I’m back to work for a few more hours (with a 30min workout mixed in). Then from 2:00–7:00pm, it’s family time. We build forts, hit the pool, do Lego — just being together. At 7:00pm, it’s books and bedtime for him. My wife does most of that so I can get back to work. By 7pm, I’m back to work until 9pm. That’s pretty much it. I’m in bed by 9:30pm, which still gives me about an 8-hour workday, tons of family time, enough sleep and — most importantly — structure. For the first time in a long time, I don’t feel guilt on either side. I don’t imagine this will work for everyone. And I truly believe there are different seasons in life. My wife is pregnant, so life will drastically change in the next 3–4 months. But for now, this has been working fantastically — so I’m holding onto it. What I like about this program and this group so far is the lifestyle aspect. I’m a recovering workaholic who has realized that family is more important than… well, anything.

Not sure if this is helpful, and I'm sure there's many options out there. But I found this free tool to copy and paste my affirmations into. Which then turns it into audio. I listen to my affirmations while stretching each morning. Here is the link if you'd like to try it. https://voicertool.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

The giving games was a concept that @Jessica Clark & I wanted to implement into our community for a while but we were not sure how to go about it. Huge thanks to @Dan Harrison & @Alexander VandeLaar for the inspiration they gave us from the Skool Stories episode with @Matthew Thompson I won't draw this out too much but I've added a screen shots of the post I made in our community this morning. (Hope that's ok 🙏🏻) Here's to giving our whole hearts to this cause. 🙌🏻 We chose to donate 10% of all our Skool MRR to the Alzheimer's Foundation. This is very personal to Jessica and I 🙏🏻 Check out the attached photos to see our vision for the future

I've recently started sending a dm with this short video clip a few days after a new member joins my group. Not sure if this is helpful, but I thought some of you might like to try it. I'll test it over the next couple weeks to see if it increases the response rate, after the auto dm goes out. So to be clear, we send an auto DM. And if they don't respond, we send this clip with a short message a few days later.

What if giving away free stuff works better than running ads? Last month we tested it at Venice Beach. Gave away skateboards and meals to people experiencing homelessness. Just to see. The people who came with us walked away talking about: ❤️ Clarity and the "give first" energetic ❤️ Unfathomable ROI (you can't measure it, but you feel it) ❤️ Reconnecting to living bigger than yourself ❤️ Contribution > consumption Pretty cool. We're calling it Giving Games and we're trying to inspire $1 billion in giving over the next three years. (Sounds crazy but we're doing it anyway lol.) Made a video about the whole thing. Comment "GIVE" if this resonates and when we create the Giving Games Playbook we will send it to you so you can add this into your biz Dan @Alexander VandeLaar @Bc Serna @Whitstagram Hancock @Matthew Thompson @Luke Gilbert @Kevin Lee @Madhuri Pura Dasa @Tina Roach @Auroara Leigh
