You have to get some of these smaller things done in order to build up the momentum to stay focused on what's important because it's very easy to lose focus.

I mean, I do it sometimes. I get frustrated. I get tired. I get worn out. I mean, even this morning, I'm like, dude, I don't want to get up. I'm tired. I'm exhausted.

Oh, can I just go to bed and take a break and somebody else do it today?

I know you guys can relate to that. We all run through days like that, right? But you got to put your old, all right, out of boy, out of girl. Kick your own ass and you got to go. You got to go. Because you don't get a do-over. And every moment you waste, you won't get it back. Every hour you waste. It ain't coming back. So you got to put

into work. You got to put a dent in this universe,

man. I'm fucking doing everything I can.

Building the shit out of this. So we put a dent in this universe so I can look back in five months, eight months, 10 months, 12 months, 16 months, 20 months ago. Hell fuck. Yeah. All that work and sweat and tears and fight and argue and toughness and anxiety and stress and failure that just kept

hitting, hitting, hitting to get to the success is worth it.

But right now, when you're in it, it sucks.

When you're not focused and you allow the tiredness, the anger, the depression, the anxiety,

the storms to weigh down on you where you can't advance to do what you need to do and it slows you down

the day defeated you the hour defeated you so you got to worry about trying to conquer the hour

and win the f*** day right conquer the hour when the f*** day how do you do that focus on what's at hand

conquer that you got to conquer that hour i lost this hour jason that's fine win conquer the next hour and you just keep conquering and then you focus on did I win the day or did I lose the day?

And if I won the day, what happens next? Okay, well now I got to focus on winning tomorrow

Because this shit doesn't end. There's no break now what I'm doing a little different than what I used to do is I'm smelling the roses and trying to enjoy the journey rather than trying to just get to the destination. I'm trying to enjoy and savor the journey. You know, when you first open a business, it's you're involved in it more and then when you get a little bigger, you kind of just, you're like, all right, you got people to do that. Let me focus on this. Well, I'm kind of in the middle right now. now i'm trying to get things done fast but i'm also savoring those moments and developing the people around me to be better and that's key you want to build a strong strong business or strong foundation or strong nucleus people you work with or even a family you've got to continue to develop people level them up take it for me you can lose everything in one day and not know it. And it could be out of your control. And everybody out here pounds or chest and you control everything. No, you don't. You can only control how you react to everything. Let me say that again. You can't control everything. You can only control how you react to everything. What does that mean? Well, that means you can't control if you're going to win or lose today. You can't control if you're going to fall in love or not fall in love. You can't control if your spouse is going to be good or not be. If your partners are going to be truthful, they're not going to be truthful. If your business is going to survive, it's not going to survive. You can't control losing somebody. You can't control hurting. Like

there's obviously decisions you can make, but you can't control things like you think you can. You can

only control what you can control, which is your action or reaction to something, period. We're going to

talk about staying between the buoys and staying focused on what's important

to you.

That's right, because too many times we get stuck in the abyss. We get stuck in the mud. We get stuck in the swamp. We allow outside influence to change our mindset on how we're going to handle ourselves, how we're going to carry out the day, how we're going to finish the day, how we're going to interact with people that we care about, we love, and people that we don't like.

All that matters.
