Two weeks ago I got laid off from my job. Instead of panicking or rushing to fill the gap, I chose to lock in. Fewer distractions. Clear priorities. Daily reps on what actually matters. Since then, I’ve seen real momentum. My community is growing to over 100+ memebers, my direction around monetization and systems is clearer, and my long-term brand vision feels more grounded than it has in a while. This has been a reminder that progress isn’t accidental. It comes from consistency, especially when circumstances aren’t ideal. Right now I’m focused on tightening foundations, improving my YouTube channel which is currently at 750 subs, and showing up daily with intention. No shortcuts. Just steady execution. Curious how others here are applying this right now. What are you building or committing to with more discipline?

Feeling super inspired and fulfilled lately with the level of focus & productivity I've had in these past few days. I've been able to tap into states of deep work and flow that has allowed me to build a really strong program and other elements of my Skool Community. I don't think I would have been able to build these out without having these deep work sessions. Within just under 3 months my community now has 90 members, my discovery rank in the Sports category is around 119, and I can start to see more engagement and figuring out the type of value I can bring to my members. This is just a reminder that Deep Work is most likely the most important thing you can implement in your business/career, and to protect it with your life. Has anyone else tried Deep Work Sessions and how did it go for you?

I'm not talking here about accountance and the systems we place to unsure our success but the way we live up to them. Let me explain; There are ways to decrease the friction and the chance of failure but we can't keep accountant for every single rep. Nobody's inside your mind pushing you to do another rep. Keep thinking about that gunpoint metaphore: would you make another rep if there was a gun pointed to yout head? Nobody is pointing that gun to your head (hopefully🫠) but you must stay true to yourself and push through those last reps even if you don't want to. Real character is built when nobody's watching. Accountance is just the fuel to keep this flame burning but the oxygen must always be there. Everyone has reps they leave on the table. The question is what you do next. How do you return stronger after you know you quit early?

Got blindsided today. Let go from my remote software sales job without much warning. Spent most of the day processing it and mapping out what's next. Honestly, I saw the writing on the wall since our whole sales team has been missing targets, but it still hits different when it actually happens. The good news is I prepared for this. Got 8 months of liquid reserves saved up, so I'm not scrambling in panic mode. I own my part in this. Enterprise software sales at early stage startups is brutal and unstable. I chose to pivot from finance into this career for the remote flexibility to live in Brazil and do the things I love. That freedom came with risk, and now I'm paying the price. But here's the thing: this just lit a massive fire under me. No safety net means no excuses. Time to lock in harder than I ever have. Next 1-2 days I'm cutting the fat from my budget and building a real plan. Then I'm executing a 3 pronged attack: 1. Land my next job through consistent daily action 2. Launch a freelance offer using my sales and marketing skills so I control my income 3. Keep building my personal brand and Skool community as a long term play Obstacles are opportunities. This is my chance to level up. Appreciate any wisdom or encouragement from you guys as I navigate this next chapter.

Today I'm bringing an often overlooked point of view in todays world. When every little action we do today rewards us with high dopamine doses (scrolling the phone for example), the expirience of 'real' dopamine feels different and even a neccesity in order to try and achieve something with a certain process - a better looking body, a good grade at an exam, etc. When executing without seeing results one will achieve the highest and purest form of discipline. This is doing solely on the base of - I know it needs to be done and that's it. Not being rewarded Not achieving something immediate Just acting. I will end this post with a very known phrase that seem to fit here the best: "wax on, wax off". When do "trusting the process" goes too far? How do we know it?
