@smurfbaby10 @CP24 You’re joking right?!

@CP24 Remember when the Libs told us global warming is here to stay and we need to pay carbon tax for it to get better? This is one of the worst winters I have seen in a long time...

Toronto is about to enter a deep freeze. Here is when the city will be at its coldest cp24.com/local/toronto/…

@daveshrein Selah. This hit my soul brother Dave.

18 months ago I would've bet my entire business on certain clients. Today, I watched a $40k invoice go unpaid and felt… peaceful. Here's what broke me and rebuilt me: Lost contracts that should've sunk me. Unpaid invoices that should've panicked me. High pressure situations with zero reward. The emotional whiplash of entrepreneurship hitting from every angle. I wanted to quit. Blame everyone. Retreat into safety. Instead, something shifted. That client who didn't pay? Never was my provider. That contract I lost? Never was my security. That company that strung me along? Never held my future. Every dollar that's ever hit my account - whether from the best client or worst - passed through God's hands first. But here's what took me 30 years to learn: I was trusting God with the headlines while managing the small print myself. Now I'm learning to submit the contracts to Him. The ad sets. Even the way I coach my kids' practice or play Fortnite with my boys. Turns out God cares about Tuesday afternoon meetings as much as Sunday morning prayers. The plot twist? I'm not fighting FOR victory anymore. I'm fighting FROM it. The battle's won. I'm just learning to act like it. When you know nothing reaches you without passing through His fingers first, you work differently. Not to survive. Not to prove. Just to make the Father proud. Still learning this. Still failing at it. But man, the peace when you get it right for even five minutes… Anyone else exhausted from being their own provider?

@TomFrankly Awesome. I didn’t want to miss the deal!! Love the clear content - I know how hard it is to be consistent so I appreciate it.

@bartanestin It's possible to migrate! We wrote an old UB → new UB migration guide you can use: thomasjfrank.com/docs/ultimate-… If you're using the free task template, the transfer is generally easier, but it's worth reading the guide as many of the same considerations apply.

Hey @TomFrankly ! I just started using your Task Template does that integrate into the Ultimate Brain template? How do I not have to manually reupload my tasks?

@MarciIen @JustinTrudeau What a class act. Marci you have inspired a generation with your humility, kindness and care for our community. We thank you for your service and leadership.

Endings are never easy, but gratitude makes them beautiful. To my family—my rock. To my team—you know who you are. To everyone who’s been part of this journey—thank you. I carry this experience, and all of you, in my heart. Always. 🤍

@i_m_elon Bonjour!

Don't mess with bus drivers.

celtics fans in their garages like john wick breaking thru the floor to dig up some stashed slurs for kyrie

@saradietschy @rameshcoffee @MohmmedAlJomaie @EposVox Good job team.

@rameshcoffee @MohmmedAlJomaie @EposVox 🤝🏻

i'm an h264 girlie mainly just bc that's what YouTube likes but h265 seems more efficient for archiving family footy and other stuff. for example same vid is 500MB h264 vs 200MB h265 is there any reason why I shouldn't be using h265 for everything? (besides YT uploads) Quality seems like it's the same

I never thought it would take a company so long to make the clear right choice. @clickup has made it clear that they cannot be trusted to partner with small businesses.

Jerrod Carmichael told his mom “You are using God as a way to not think for yourself”. Never heard it put that way. But that was interesting.

@kendricklamar What is happening?!

@Kurrco Drake out here asking for an extension and the professor just drop a new assignment.

@CP24 I don’t understand the sentence

BREAKING: Man charged after taxi driver and woman wearing hijab sprayed with foreign substance, Toronto mosque worshippers assaulted cp24.com/news/man-charg…

@TorontoStar That only solves the extreme of the root problem- not the vast majority. Regular Canadian are not being protected. We don’t want a hand out, we want our hard earned money to afford our housing, bills, groceries, vacations and saving full stop.

Canada is considering a guaranteed universal basic income program. Here’s what that means. The Senate Finance Committee has begun looking into a national framework for a guaranteed basic income for everyone in Canada over 17. trib.al/FR7ycIh

@AmandaMGoetz Uuummmmm. No

Curious - do male creators get email responses to their newsletters like this too? Putting yourself out there can be violating and downright scary at times. So gross.

@mattragland Dude yes!!!

I have 3 kids, a full-time job, workout 4x per week, coach baseball, volunteer at church, and spend the majority of my weekend time with my family. Here's what a normal week looks like 👀 The Simple Time Block Breakdown ⏰ 🔴 Work = 40-45 hours, little early/late 🟢 Social = Church, kids baseball, football 🟢 Family = 90% of wknd time and all evenings 🔵 Workouts = 3-4x CrossFit, BJJ, plus playing with boys A few things to point out and how I work around the inevitable changes of entrepreneurial work, raising 3 young boys, and staying connected to my wife and friends. I stick to core hours at work between 10a-4p every day except Thursday (BJJ). My best work days are the ones where I go straight from a morning workout to the office. I stay dialed in and get a lot done, which carries to the rest of the week. I avoid work on the weekends (hence the "event" note) but often write my newsletter late Friday or early Saturday when kids are sleeping. I'd rather work on the edges and keep my weekends free. My wife and I set our workout times and stick to them. If I want to go to Jiu-Jitsu, then I need to go at 6am. If I'm tired, that's fine, but I don't get to go in the evening instead. I have my time and it's up to me to go. Speaking of my wife - she's incredible. She homeschools the kids and runs the house day-to-day. There's tension, sure. We are always tired and often feel like we're pushing a boulder up a hill. We would like more 1-on-1 and 1-on-none time. We're very focused on providing that balance for each other, but it's always a bit less than we planned for. But it's also a season of life with young kids that we are embracing for their joy and energy. We try to bring friends to our activities, e.g. the farmer's market, workouts, hikes, the zoo, kids games, or host watch parties during football season. I call this "happy stacking" because I'm doing multiple things I enjoy at the same time. Like sitting in an old van at a brewery. It's hard not to want to do MORE. I honestly want to work more than I do, there's so much energy and momentum in the business. But I also want to spend more time with my kids, and hell I want to train more than I do (CrossFit and BJJ). That's the biggest challenge - Fitting in everything I want to do - Realizing I can't do everything I want to do - Not comparing to other people's social posts - Remembering I'm on my own path and timing One more thing: I have been recognizing and rewiring old beliefs about what the perceived limitations of my own path are, i.e. "guess I'll make less money then." It's striking a balance between gratitude for what I have (and there is so much to be grateful for) and openness to the opportunities that come my way. Thanks for reading all the way down. I'd love to hear from other people (especially parents) on how they make a busy, ambitious, but still pretty balanced life happen. Rooting for you all!
