“Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void, but out of chaos; the materials must, in the first place, be afforded: it can give form to dark, shapeless substances, but cannot bring into being the substance itself.” Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley - Frankenstein Two things come to mind for me when I read this quote: 1. You have a unique message that only you are qualified to deliver. 2. AI can provide the “materials” but your thoughts and vision shape and bring that vision to life. Human first. AI assisted.

"Money is a great servant but a horrible master." "Five days a week, I read my goals before I go to sleep and when I wake up. There are 10 goals around health, family, business, etc., with expiration dates, and I update them every 6 months." Thoughts on any of these quotes from Daymond John?

The secret to getting ahead is getting started. - Mark Twain What’s holding you back today? Use the Cornerstone Method to laser in on your most important activities for today. Remember the first step is simply to start.

Most founders don't quit because they can't do it. They quit because they're exhausted from doing it alone. You know the feeling. You wake up already behind—thinking about client delivery, content deadlines, lead gen, operations, your next offer, and that growing list of things you haven't touched yet. Meanwhile, it looks like everyone else has their ___ together. But here's what nobody talks about...that feeling of being perpetually behind. It's not a you problem. It's a building-without-support problem. You're not struggling because you're bad at this. You're struggling because you're doing the work of three people. When I finally admitted I wasn't superhuman (shocking, I know), everything changed. I stopped trying to outrun burnout and started building a business that actually worked with me instead of against me. So here's my question for you: What are you carrying right now that your business has no right to ask you to carry? Drop it in the comments. You are not alone.

Here's a story. Bear with me. It's important. This topic seemed to have pop up a few times just in the past few days. ... ● He fell ASLEEP. 😲😲😲 This happened a couple months ago. Even before class started, I could see it in his eyes. I could feel his energy, or LACK of. I could hear it in his speech. This kid was tired. Many of them are. In Korea, students are almost full-time workers. No. They are “working” more than full-time workers. They go to their regular school in the morning, usually around 8 am. Finish school in the afternoon. Elementary students leave their last after school academy around 7 pm. Middle and high school students get to go home around 8, or 9 pm. Sometimes 10 pm! Followed by dinner, shower, homework, and sleep around midnight or later. They REPEAT it everyday. So, in my classroom, after we finish our tasks, sure, go ahead kids, and have some much needed, well-deserved, creative playtime. Kids NEED it. Research proves it. In addition to that, kids NEED sleep. So, when this one kid fell asleep in my class. I let him. I told his buddies around him to leave him alone. He needed it to be able to function in his next class. And the rest of his busy day. ● MOMENTS like this REMIND me that: we ALL need sleep. 👉👉👉 A lack of sleep is NOT a badge of honor. It’s how we can care for others. We need to be able to think, function, and be in CONTROL of a situation when the time comes for it. And all that takes energy. ENERGY that sleep can restore. Kids don’t often resist the urge to sleep. They get cranky when they’re tired (I mean, don’t we all? Adults just seem to hide it better.) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ So, don’t make sleep a chore. Make it a RESPONSIBILITY. A PRIVILEGE. Because when you get enough sleep, you can OPERATE and FUNCTION better. That makes you and those around you… HAPPIER. Who doesn't want to be happy?
