What are the main reasons people never get started? 🤔

Here are 5 of the most common ones:

  1. Laziness (I always get irritated women reaching out when I say this)

  2. Afraid of taking risks

  3. Worried about what other people will think

  4. Thinking and waiting for things to be perfect

  5. Asking for validation from people which in turn leads to inaction

I’m excited about 4 things this week:

  1. My face will be on a billboard in Times Square next week 😂

  2. I will collaborate with Gong this autumn

  3. The branded tennis court with Huntrs name on it is now live (I’ll show you next week)

  4. Been traveling almost the whole month and have continued to close deals wherever I have internet connection = a great month 💸

What are you excited about this week?

F*ck the business plan

So many people think:

  • you need the perfect plan

  • you need to have everything figured out

I’m here to say:

F*ck the business plan.

You get clarity when you take action = when you get started.

❌ NOT before.

Netflix Billboard

Shell started by selling decorative seashells.

Shopify started as a snowboard company.

Samsung started as a grocery business.

Western Union started with telegrams.

Instagram started as a whiskey app.

Amazon started by selling books.

Youtube started as a dating site.

Nokia started as a paper mill.

Netflix started with DVD's.

Isn't this so refreshing to see???

These are all big companies.

→ And what they started with is not what they are doing today.

They all pivoted.

This again proves:

→ It's not about having the perfect start, it's about actually getting started 🧱

10 Steps → This is where you start

  1. Write down a goal that is so big, it scares the hell out of you.

  2. Find the fuel that will help you stay consistent.

  3. Make a commitment to yourself and raise the bar.

  4. Hold yourself accountable.

  5. Literally don't give a sh!t what other people may think. Who cares?!

  6. Slice up your goal into small steps.

  7. Turn it into an obsession.

  8. Prepare to get uncomfortable.

  9. And just START. Don't wait until the new year. Start today.

  10. And then MOVE in that direction every single day.

If you don’t, someone else will do this for you, and you will spend your whole life building someone else’s dream.

OMG I shiver from those words 🫠

A year from now, you'll be glad that you did.
