G’day G’day friends,

I recently finished reading Ryan Holiday’s book:

I’ve been feeling reflective recently.

I’m finding that the usual self-improvement books don’t cut it anymore.

I get less joy, insights, or motivation from them.

Nothing wrong with them, but I feel like I need more.

I find myself diving deeper into spirituality and philosophy.

I’m asking myself deeper questions of purpose and identity.

In the book, Mr Holiday (what a great name btw), talks about how real wisdom takes:

• Sacrifice.
• Hardships.
• Real-world experience.

You can’t learn wisdom from theory alone.

Although reading helps.

Real wisdom takes encountering the real world.

Mike Tyson once said:

Applied to business, and I think about:

Business requires you to be the gladiator in the arena.

You need to get dirty.

You need to get punched in the face a few times.

(metaphorically, of course).

Feel the blood, sweat, and tears of solopreneurship.

It’s not a nice feeling.

But business is not all sunshine and rainbows.

If I’m being honest, it sucks.

There are days you will want to quit.

Moments where things feel destined to fail.

Seasons that push you to the edge of breaking point.

But all this builds business wisdom more than a 6-figure MBA.

Wisdom isn’t cheap.

But ignorance is even more expensive.

Let’s Launch Together,
