Description

Mistakes see them as teachers and lessons more than anything else, a thousand percent. And I think the biggest mistake that anyone could make is being identity-based. What I mean by that is over the course of time that we've gone in different directions. But you let other people paint you into a corner. And that becomes very dangerous because people expect you to be one thing, which is only a fraction of yourself, and that can be true for your business as well. And so the biggest mistake that you can make is being in that corner. And not realizing it and just staying there because there are so many different projects and companies that we've worked on over the years. Even if it was from the outside, looking in very successful, it's one of those things where I think we need to be full expressions of ourselves, not always in a public way, but we do need to practice that expression, be full human beings in a multidisciplinary way. And we also need to be okay with letting go of whatever past identity successes, or whatever else they are and moving on to something that is more relevant and more passion-inducing for your present self.I think one thing that people don't get, especially now is space. Sometimes necessary, to be a little more alone than felt comfortable, was really important just, to realign with what am I doing here? What am I doing with my life? What am I doing with my time every single day? Am I just running on autopilot? And if you don't have that space then also you don't know who to be there for. And when, if you're there for everybody all the time and you're always, fulfilling their expectations, then also you forget who you are. And so it's important to take these steps back every once in a while.one thing I definitely make a habit of is I follow more of a weekly schedule than one that's daily because you just can't fit everything into the day. Batching things is really effective and also doing them on a seasonal basis. Growing up, I loved doing multiple sports. I was never great at any of them, but I loved playing basketball, baseball, soccer, running ice hockey, and all these different things, practicing different skills from season to season. And I'm always trying to create something, but it's, I want it not to come from me. I want it to be free energy that kind of appears to me, or I feel like I have. Nothing else makes sense to do, but this, and I try to follow that feeling and that passion, sometimes it's not there, honestly, sometimes I'm not really doing anything. I'm more like trying to stay in fighting shape from a fitness perspective, from a music perspective.So I see all of that is working on your craft and keeping your craft up and with multiple crafts, you need the partition that in a way that makes sense. But instead of one taking away from the other, as long as you partition them they enhance each other instead of taking away from each other. So like practicing scales and music to the point where I get Tendonitis. And it's really important for that not to be limited by money, but other times it's more like business things, which makes sense. It's Oh, I've got to do this today. So usually I'll start off with the creative and practicing my craft stuff like practicing music, doing a little bit of free writing. Also, spiritual readings are really important to me. That each thing and a number of different texts on symbolism, symbology and native American mythology and all sorts of different things. I try to have at least one reading a day and my wife does as well. And we'll go through them together for a few minutes, read a little bit of some ancient master, just to get a little bit of perspective and that's important.So the first, like a third of the day maybe is I try to make that where the time is untouchable and then the middle meat of the day that third is usually productive work. That's going to advance business products that we can or processes. And we have to get that done in order to pay our
