I spend almost every waking moment thinking about my businesses.  It’s fun for me. I like it.

If you’re reading this then you’re probably a workaholic too.  It took so long to finally tap into my motivation that I don’t ever want to let it go.

I was never overweight, but I feel like an obese person who now has six pack abs.  

Once you’re in shape, why would you ever go back? I don’t want to stop exercising. I don’t want to stop getting better.

There is a point where you look back on your week, month, or year and realize that you grind every day.

 It’s great to be successful; but no matter how much you love going to work, if it consumes all of your time, your mind will wonder, “What’s it all for?”

Even if you hate traveling, vacations are important.  Trips do wonders for your psyche.

It’s nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily tasks; but who’s kidding who, how long can you stare at the waves or watch the birds fly around in the woods?

We typically look forward to vacations, but so much leisure gets boring.  If you’re the type that doesn’t waste time, it can be difficult to blow hours frivolously.

I’m someone who likes to read.  I actually give a fuck about what other people think.  Enjoying something and finding the time to do it are two different things.  

Besides being with my family and creating memories, I use vacations as an opportunity to binge on new ideas.

I read books written by people from different fields.  You never know when someone is going to write the sentence that will shift your perspective.  

You won’t find wisdom if you don’t hunt for it.
