Why Some People Seem to Have All the Luck
"Good luck with that." "Beginner's luck." "You lucky dog."

Choosing Maximum Effort Over the Easy Shortcut
Every single day, you arrive at a crossroads. It’s not a dramatic intersection with flashing lights, but a quiet, subtle choice point you might miss if you’re not paying attention. Yet, what you decide right there profoundly shapes the satisfaction and happiness you find in life. It’s the difference between thriving and just getting by.

Stop Waiting for the Perfect Time to Start Your Side Hustle
We’ve all heard it a thousand times: success is all about being in the right place at the right time. It’s a comforting thought, suggesting that big breaks are a matter of luck or circumstance. But this idea is also incredibly dangerous. It teaches us to wait for success to come knocking instead of building it ourselves. It makes us believe that our situation matters more than our substance.

The Biggest Myth Holding Your Side Hustle Back
Ever watch someone truly gifted at their craft and think, “They were just born with it”? Whether it’s seeing Warren Buffett explain the market, Eric Clapton play a guitar solo, or Simone Biles perform a flawless routine, the gap between their ability and ours can feel impossibly wide. It’s easy to convince ourselves they have some secret ingredient, some innate talent that we simply don’t.

To Find Happiness You Have to Let Things Go
We’ve already talked about getting to know our true selves and realigning our mental operating system around the core beliefs we were born with, like our limitless ability to learn. It’s impossible to reboot our minds if those fundamental programs aren’t in the right place. Most of us understand that panicky feeling when a phone or laptop gives us the "screen of death" and won't start. We worry that everything is lost. But what many people don't realize is that the most important technology they own—their mind—has been compromised for most of their lives.

What if You Knew You Couldn't Fail?
It’s a simple question: can you learn? Most of us would say yes without a second thought. But how deep does that belief go? Sure, we can learn simple things. But what about the really hard stuff? Could you learn to play the piano, understand monetary policy, or wrap your head around quantum mechanics? Could you become an expert, speaking on conference stages about it?

Why Blame and Excuses Are Killing Your Progress
Think back to when you were a toddler. At that point in your life, the way your mind was wired was pretty much perfect. It didn't come loaded with flawed programming that held you back or warped your sense of self. Nobody had taught you about limiting beliefs yet. For most of us, that was the last time we were truly set up to build the life we wanted, free from all the negative conditioning that came later.

The Mindset Shift That Turns a Side Hustle into a Business
There are two things that really set humans apart. One is our opposable thumbs, a neat trick we share with a few other species like koalas and some tree frogs. But the second one? That’s all ours. It’s our ability to take in information and consciously make choices based on it. This power of choice is our single greatest asset.
