Fourteen trips to Europe in two and a half years. 112 days on another continent. One day gone out of every four. I told myself I was building security for my family. I was. Just not the kind they needed most.

@EricMathew95722 👍

Dear Algorithm, connect me with MAGA patriots I am not following. Thank you.

@ScottPresler @BasedMikeLee Yes! It is remarkable and very much appreciated.

@BasedMikeLee Can we all thank @BasedMikeLee for being one of the most accessible Senators in the entire Senate? 👏

NEW CBS POLL: 80% of the US favors a law to require photo ID to vote 99.5% of House Dems voted against it

@PattyMurray Seems 80% of the population think voter ID should be required. As an elected official, you should represent your consistents.

The average person is more likely to be struck by lightning than they are to commit voter fraud. Seriously. That's a real stat. I'm voting NO on the SAVE America Act.

@FloridaSueK @TheRobertBshow That is fantastic!

We are doing the same thing! Father and son are working towards building a business. Both are in trade school- hubby will get it all started and will teach him the people skills required to network and deal with challenging clients. The boy has input now and is invested in the outcome. Eventually it will be juniors business when hubby finally decides to retire. Boy lives at home- helps out with chores and can grill a mean steak. It’s a nice arrangement actually.

Your adult son lives at home. He's helping run the family business. Saving money. Learning from his father instead of a corporate HR department. Building something instead of consuming something. The world says he's behind. Scripture says he's right where he should be.

@Matt_Pinner Have one in my garage. Used it last fall.

I bet no one knows what is this!

@Matt_Pinner Well, that didn’t work.

What are the 4 words?

@XRarchitect That is very cool.

Testing off-axis projection demo. Basic scene layout in Blender glb -> detailed splat via World Labs Three.js for engine MediaPipe for face tracking Next step is to add a character you can move around in the environment

Pay attention, Washingtonians.

@HeroDividend Essential services are the way to go! Economics, AI, whatever. They keep showing up.

Waste Management does not care about the price of oil, the latest AI tool, or what interest rates are doing They simply come pick up your trash every week

Reject modernity, embrace tradition.

This is not ok. The school needs to answer.

We're currently looking at relatively low-cost, product and service-focused franchise concepts. The structure and support of these businesses make it a bit easier to step into them. It's a bit more of an up-front investment than just starting our own, but with some of these, the value add is worth the investment.

@SeanGCalvert @TheRobertBshow I’m eager to hear what ideas you’ve explored

@brockpierson Thanks for the tips! Just started engaging on X. Trying to learn as fast as possible. Appreciate the insights.

Pro tip: Reply guying big accounts will help you get into the 𝕏 monetization faster because its easier to farm the 5M impressions BUT… It does next to nothing to help get engagement on your OWN posts (which is what gets you paid the most once you are in the program) So if ideally you need to build towards both. Best way to get engagement on your own posts is to connect with other small accounts. An account like mine you can find tons of good, verified small accounts in the comment sections of my posts. Dont just reply to my posts. Find new people in the replies and engage with them.

Thank you! It was planned. I have a friend who is a cruise planner and asked him to give us some itineraries that would have us on the ground in Greece on our 10,000th day. Planned, but a great milestone to celebrate. We might actually be starting a trend. On the ship, as we shared with people, they all started counting their own next big day milestone.

Ten thousand days. What a wonderful way to celebrate your marriage! And arriving in Greece on your anniversary? This isn't just any ordinary cruise; it's fate rewarding your hard work! 😄🥂 What a beautiful milestone. What a fantastic way to celebrate! Was this a carefully planned event, or just pure coincidence?

This month my wife and I hit a big milestone: 10,000 days of marriage. We marked it with Mediterranean cruise that landed us in Greece on the exact day. What's your next milestone and how are you celebrating?

@BrianFeroldi Great, succinct post. Nearly everyone I work with wants the same thing: more time for family and friends. Freedom = time ownership with enough money to do what you want.

Money isn't the goal. Freedom is. Money is just a tool to help you achieve the goal. Never lose sight of that that.

@ItsKieranDrew The book Deep Work by cal Newport talks about this as well. Focus without distractions is how you get there.

A hill I'll die on: You should be unreachable for at least half your day. For example, I recently launched my 1-1 coaching offer. I'm working with five people. I tell them I'm available every day, but only after my writing is done. This protects my creative time, but also lets me invest energy more smartly. Everyone wins. Most people think being always available makes them a better service provider. It doesn't. It makes you a worse writer, a worse thinker, and eventually, a worse coach. Your best work comes from deep focus. And deep focus requires being unavailable. Don't be afraid to draw boundaries. Your clients will respect you for it.

This is absolutely correct. I spent 22 years as a mechanical engineer, and when I would mentor younger engineers or speak to college classes, this was the number one skill I would tell them to perfect. Engineers are notorious for being poor communicators, so those who can master that skill outpace their peers.

Communication is a superpower.

I left the same company twice. The first time, the travel was too hard on my family. I needed to be home more than I needed the title. The second time, I'd come back on my own terms, rebuilt as an engineer, and quietly topped out. The financial math stopped working and it wasn't going to fix itself. Both times I left, I thought I was giving something up. What I actually did, eventually, was take a leap into my own business. Best decision I've made. I wish I hadn't taken so long to get there. If you're circling the same decision, that feeling probably isn't going away on its own either.
