Hey team, quick check-in with 3 reminders: 1️⃣ Please go show love whenever you have some time, to these two amazing posts from James & Matthias: James’ post: Click here to check it out. Matthias’ post: Click here to check it out. 2️⃣ Results take time (and that’s normal). One of the hardest parts of being a leader/coach/mentor in life is wanting people to see results fast. It’s like the gym… we all wish someone could start and in 14 days look in the mirror and say “WOW, thank you!” 😂 But real growth is built through consistency, reps, and patience. The next point explains why I said this... 3️⃣ Accountability is the difference-maker. Many people set goals in January, feel motivated for a few weeks, and then life happens, and the goals fade. That’s why check-points matter. Some "research" says approximately 80% of people abandon their New Year’s resolutions or goals by mid-February (specifically around Valentine's Day). I honestly think it's pretty accurate. With that being said: ✅ This Saturday (Feb 14), we’re doing our first Accountability Call of 2026. 🕥 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM EST I’ll share how I personally set up check-points for my goals (simple, practical), and if you want to review yours live, I’m happy to do that too. If you can’t make it, I’ll try to record a short segment so you can still watch afterward and complete the exercise on your own. Bottom line: whether you feel “on track” or “off track,” it’s never too late to adjust the route. What matters is staying accountable to what YOU said you wanted. 💪

Quick heads-up before you read anything below: watch the video first 😅 Without it, this caption won’t make sense. In the video I share the a quick life update, what the last months have looked like, and why I’m genuinely fired up right now… because a new journey starts tomorrow. Now here’s the perspective I wanted to add. (after you watched the video...) On Friday, I called my supervisor, and we talked for 40 minutes before I even officially started. Why? Because I’ve never been the type to walk into an opportunity without first understanding what “greatness” looks like. I don’t want to guess. I don’t want to wing it. I want to know the standard, the expectations, and the best way to win. So today I’m reading and studying 15–20 documents to be even more ready for tomorrow. That’s the kind of leadership I respect. The kind of preparation I respect. The kind of effort that makes people want to work with you. And that’s also why I created this community. To remind each other that we can always give a little more than what’s expected, and we’ll usually receive more than we even imagined, because we’re becoming the type of person who earns it. Jim Rohn often cited the biblical principle: “You reap what you sow.” Whatever you’re reaping right now is what you’ve been sowing. And if you don’t like the crop, the answer is in the mirror. Sow bad, reap bad. Sow good, reap good. And here’s the kicker: you never reap what you sow; you reap more. It multiplies, positive or negative. So I’m choosing to sow preparation, discipline, and leadership. Because that’s the crop I want. For years, I’ve heard people complain that their boss is an asshole. My perspective: if you show up lazy, unprepared, and entitled, your boss will probably feel like an asshole to you. But if you show up sharp, proactive, and dependable, the whole relationship changes. Wish me luck in this next journey. We’re walking through it together. My question for you: Looking at your life right now, what’s ONE area where you could give just 1% more this week? This month? This year?

For anyone who enjoys Tacos, Happy Taco Tuesday 🌮 We have 2 AMAZING new posts from @Tyler Scott & @Chris Wendt. 🔗 https://www.skool.com/mwm/i-tracked-every-minute-of-my-time-in-january-heres-what-i-learned 🔗 https://www.skool.com/mwm/thoughtful-tuesday-discipline-equals-freedom Whenever you have some time, we'd love your insight. Let's have a FANTASTIC day! 😎

To wrap up January, we had an amazing call yesterday, and big thanks @Matthias Schweiker @Jonathan Zam @Josie Ngoumou & @Ziad Souki for showing up. We're gonna continue with this Saturday call and it seems to be a great time to catch up and talk about ANYTHING. Soon, we'll also bring in guest speakers. We're also open to IDEAS! I was ready to post a January recap, and @Matthias Schweiker beat me to it, so please go check out his post and let's celebrate some wins as a community! Let's continue building momentum 😎 Link: https://www.skool.com/mwm/first-2026-wins

Huge shoutout to @Jack Shiller, @Massimiliano Biancardi, @Josie Ngoumou, and @Mishell Barbaran for bringing the energy and the conversation to yesterday's call. These calls keep getting better because of you. We're going to have a guest speaker for our call on 02/04, stay tuned 😏 Now for the fun part 😎 Last Wednesday, we asked about leadership topics you want us to dive into, and here are the winners: Top Leadership Topics (by votes): • Communication and difficult conversations – 4x • Building habits and systems that support growth – 3x • Decision making under pressure – 3x To make this even stronger and more focused, I’m planning to combine overlapping topics so we can go deeper rather than spreading ourselves thin. Here’s how I’m thinking about grouping them: 1. Communication and Difficult Conversations (4x) Includes: • Confidence, presence, and influence • Managing conflict and tension • Accountability and follow-through • Coaching others vs managing tasks 2. Building Habits and Systems That Support Growth (3x) Includes: • Time management and priorities • Vision and long-term thinking • Self-leadership and personal responsibility • Emotional intelligence and self-awareness 3. Decision Making Under Pressure (3x) I think this gives us a much clearer direction and lets us cover more ground without repeating ourselves. What do you think? Do you agree with these groupings? And are we READY to get started next week? 👀 Let’s have some fun with this 😎
