The World According to Jack Henke

@dickiebush Excellent system, Dickie. You get organized, cleaned, and get the kinks out of your body and mind. Thanks for sharing.

@Tim_Denning Delude + Attitude = Success

I’m now 100% convinced that the secret to high performance is being delusional enough to back yourself no matter what comes your way.

@Codie_Sanchez Codie - you just saw right through me - it made me shiver. You been reading my diary? Thank you. I’ll check back with you on August 31st.

@thejustinwelsh Yes - you nailed it. It’s simple, superb advice that should be reread every few days.

The fastest way to feel behind is to measure your chapter 1 against someone else's chapter 20.

My word for 2026 - aplomb

@Tim_Denning Simple. Smart. Successful.

A farmer taught me more about sales than Alex Hormozi Makes $500K+ a year Works in finance Starts work at 11am Doesn't wear a suit I watched him sign a Silicon Valley unicorn wearing shorts and flip-flops. "Mate, I'll tip the odds in your favor" Translation: the revenue share was better for them than what he got. Client couldn't believe it I thought he was a psycho I asked him later: "Why the f*ck did you do that?" He laughed at me. "Business is about everyone having a win-win. If we extort them on pricing they will find out. Then they'll get mad. Then they'll churn. If we cut the BS and give them a good deal upfront, we'll have their loyalty." I experimented with this in my digital business. Before: "The ROI on your offer makes no sense After: "Just referred 3 more clients to you" Also after: "I have no spots right now to work with me. Let's try again in 3 months. The lesson: Stack the odds in your client's favor. Make the ROI for them a no-brainer. Then enjoy being at full capacity. Create win-wins. It removes the need for persuasion. Do it.

What do you think of "Grate-giving" instead of "Thanksgiving?" Thank you for reading and supporting my posts. Thank you for writing valuable posts yourselves.

@thedankoe Love this, Dan, especially "Your attention is not focused on a singular vision for the future so potent that distractions can’t penetrate it." Thanks for sharing.

Self-discipline isn't difficult, you're just distracted. The mind craves order. That’s why you feel out of control. Your attention is not focused on a singular vision for the future so potent that distractions can’t penetrate it. Feel deep into your situation. Realize where your life will end up if you keep going down this path. Become absolutely fed up with the lack of progress you are making. Use that negative energy to slingshot toward a meaningful goal you’ve been putting off. I know you can hear that voice that keeps nagging at you saying, you were meant for more than this. Discipline comes from clarity, not force. Discipline is a feature of identity. You aren’t disciplined because you aren’t the type of person who seamlessly does what they need to do. It isn’t difficult for a writer to sit down and write. It isn’t difficult for a bodybuilder to eat healthy. In fact, it’s difficult for them not to eat healthy. They hate it. They do it because that’s who they are. They don’t have options. They deeply understand the impact of being distracted from their goal. Success is automatic. If you want to be disciplined, stop trying to be. Instead, remove every single distraction that prevents you from being disciplined. Give yourself one option. Shut your mind off and execute.

Great post on being optimistic being a skill by @Tim_Denning today. Optimism test: News that the wholesale price of turkeys is up 40% over last Thanksgiving. Who could be optimistic about that? TURKEYS. Score! Thanks, Tim

@tferriss This was one of my favorite episodes - thanks Tim.

“W. Clement Stone said to me, ‘Do you watch television?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘How many hours a day?’ I said, ‘I don’t know. Good Morning America, the news, maybe a movie at night.’ He said, ‘That’s three hours a day. Cut out an hour a day because that’ll give you 365 additional hours a year to be productive. Divide that by a 40-hour workweek, that’s nine-and-a-half weeks. It’ll give you a 14-month year. You’ll be much more competitive than all the people in your field if you do that.” — Jack Canfield Listen to my interview with the bestselling coauthor of Chicken Soup for the Soul Jack Canfield: tim.blog/2025/10/29/jac…

@SahilBloom Good coach.

I had a coach who used to say: "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard...but if talent works hard, you’re pretty much f**ked, so let’s hope it doesn’t." Still makes me laugh. But it’s also true. If you want to win, work hard on things where you’re talented.

@thedankoe Thanks, Dan. Love “ruthlessly redirect”

Sometimes, you need to become so disgusted with yourself, your life, or your situation that you can’t help but change. The work you didn’t care about doing in the first place. The relationships that have grown to be repetitive and stale. The body that doesn’t feel electric anymore. There’s a big difference between being hard on yourself and being so easy on yourself that it becomes the hardest thing in the world. Nobody is going to do it for you. In fact, most people don’t want you to change. Don’t focus on the positive. Focus on the negative, then ruthlessly redirect that energy toward a meaningful future.
