@BrentBeshore I love Cosme

You have two nights in NYC with a group of 8 dear friends. Where you getting dinner?

@BrentBeshore Simple

Quite the paragraph

Michael I tell my four. What are your God given superhuman talents , what do you love and think about often/ where do your eyes go and what does the world need / where is the puck going You covered the third well Figure out the intersection of these and you have your calling

So that’s what I told my kids. What have you told yours? Where am I wrong? Let me know in the comments! (And if you found this valuable, likes / retweets / bookmarks are appreciated!)

Now is a turbulent time in our economy. My eldest son just started college. He asked me what careers to pursue, and what to avoid. Here’s what I told him:

@GeoffLewisOrg Ethan is very special

OH @ blue bottle: Technology Brother A: “hadn’t heard anything from Mach since that hit piece thought they were dead.” Technology Brother B: “naw dawg it’s called show don’t tell.”

@gordongekko Exactly

Me at Christmas dinner sitting across my uncle who told me crypto was a scam.

Live update from the Harris campaign:

@BrentBeshore Four kids easier than three 🤣

Thrilled to announce that Silas Peter Beshore arrived at 8:07 pm last night. Both he and mom are doing great. And, as you can see, the sisters are pumped! Thank you all for the prayers. Means a lot.

@BrentBeshore Congrats my man !!

@GeoffLewisOrg Balance is not the goal, Harmony is

Whenever you feel strained by how much you have to balance, simply imagine a hypothetical life in which you had nothing to balance. The need to balance is a gift.

@GeoffLewisOrg Indeed. Well said Geoff

Every great entrepreneur has a true gift that propels them. Your gift is different from your motivation — motivation is core to why you do it; gift is core to how you do it. Motivation drives intention, gift drives actualization. In your darkest hours when your business seems trapped within impenetrable walls, it is your gift that guides you to create a narrow gate out — and it is your gift that shines the light on an improbable path forward. Your motivation can be easily articulated. Contra, your gift is often too esoteric to even describe. Your motivation is your guide from within. Your gift is your guide from beyond.

#MonkeyFirst and turning back even though you are so close with sunken cost. Great read

@SahilBloom Keep being awesome Sahil

At the end of every year, I conduct a Personal Annual Review. It's a transformative exercise that everyone should try. 7 simple questions that may change your life: (bookmark this + download the PDF template) 1. What did I change my mind on this year? Finding the truth is more important than being right. In fact, the most successful people legitimately enjoy being wrong. They embrace new information as “software updates" to their brain. My Personal Annual Review starts here: What "software updates" did I have this year? If you can't think of anything, that's a bad thing. 2. What created energy this year? I have a framework I call the Energy Calendar: The idea is that you reflect on your calendar from a day or week and color code the events according to whether they created energy (green), drained energy (red), or were neutral (yellow). The Energy Calendar is a great, visual way to course correct on a weekly/monthly basis if there are specific activities that are highly positive or negative for your energy. Examine this on a macro annual scale: Review your calendars from the year. What activities, people, or projects consistently CREATED energy in my life? Write them down. Did I spend ample time on the Energy Creators or did they get neglected? Goal: Spend more time on these in 2024! 3. What drained energy this year? Continue your macro scale calendar examination, but with a focus on the negatives: Review your calendars from the year. What activities, people, or projects consistently DRAINED energy from my life? Write them down. Did I allow the Energy Drainers to persist or did I cut them in real time? Goal: Spend less time on these in 2024. 4. Who were the boat anchors in my life? Boat anchors are people that hold you back from your potential. They literally create a "drag" on your life. Boat anchors are people who will: • Belittle your accomplishments. • Laugh at your ambition. • Tell you to be more realistic. • Harm the quality of your environment. Identify who they are. Goal: Minimize or eliminate the energy you give them in 2024. 5. What did I not do because of fear? “We suffer more in imagination than in reality.” - Seneca We have to get closer to our fears in order to fight back against them. Fear distorts reality—this forces you to confront and reflect on it. Deconstruct the fears that held you back: • What was the downside of taking action? • What was the upside from taking action? Goal: Get closer to your fears in 2024. 6. What were my greatest hits and worst misses? Your natural bias skews how you see your year: • The optimist sees all hits. • The pessimist sees all misses. Take a balanced view. Write them all down. Reflect on why the hits hit and the misses missed. 7. What did I learn this year? “When you stop learning you start dying." - Albert Einstein It's easy to lose sight of growth in the trenches—zoom out to reclaim perspective. Take your time on this one. Reflect on the other questions from the exercise. Write down what you've learned. *** The Personal Annual Review is a life changing exercise.
