@drgurner Doing something nice for service (without any expectations or return) is the key - doing it to feel nice in return can also be a play by our own ego…

@SahilBloom So amazing to hear about your dad. I am that mom for my kiddos - so great that you realize the difference it’s made in your life!

The best parenting lesson I ever received was from a single interaction with my dad when I was 12.
I had tried out for this baseball all star team. The results came out and the coaches called to say they were taking 16 players and I was the 17th on the list. I didn't make it.
I remember being devastated. It was my first real experience with a failure.
My dad walked into my room and sat down next to me.
He said:
"I know you're upset. I understand. It sucks. But here are the three things the coaches said you needed to work on. Let's go out every day this summer and work on them together."
We did. He took me out to the local field damn near every single day that summer. I came back the next year and was a completely different player. Years later, when I got a scholarship to play in college, I still thought back to that summer as the turning point.
It took me having my own son to realize the powerful parenting lesson in all of this.
My dad had two options in that moment:
1. Tell me the coaches were idiots. They were wrong. They had made a mistake. I was the best player.
2. Acknowledge my disappointment. Reframe it as a growth opportunity. Support me to go after it.
It would have been easier to choose Option 1. Honestly, I would have been happier to hear it in the moment. But it would have had a lasting negative impact on my life.
You see, there's a big difference between what I wanted and what I needed.
Option 2 was the latter. The tough pill. The right pill.
My dad subtly reframed that failure as an opportunity. Then he showed up to help me capitalize on it.
I'll never forget that.
And by the way, my dad still shows up for me in that same way. He sat in the front row of my book tour events, diligently taking notes to help me prepare and improve.
I guess some things never change.

14 days ago I shook hands with President Aliyev when he spoke about creating peace with Armenia.
Today, standing with President Trump, that truce becomes reality.
My background as a search engine engjneer got me in as a speaker, to then be able to witness history up close.
What reputation are you honing to get you into the right rooms?

Ever get chills when thinking about speaking on stage?
Simply tell stories honoring others, instead of thinking you need to pretend to be an expert.
Because the fear of public speaking comes from thinking about yourself-- how you sound, how you look, how others will judge you.
Now your focus isn't on how you're perceived, but on how you want to elevate others.

@dennisyu Isn’t it beautiful? Loved my visit there. Enjoy the rest of your trip! 😊

Today I saw the Parthenon in Athens, Greece.
Yesterday was the British Museum in London, England.
Tomorrow, the Great Pyramids in Cairo, Egypt.
On social media you see highlights.
But the other 95% of time, I’m working from the Uber, the airplane, the hotel, and whenever I can put a laptop on the table or my knees.
The truly successful people I know are making the most of this invisible time.
Like a duck that sails smoothly across the water but is furiously paddling underneath.
I work only half time—- just 12 hours per day.
Don’t listen to people who claim that making money online is easy— they’ve trying to sell you a high ticket course or coaching.
Would you agree?

@matt_gray_ Love this - we need to marinate in caterpillar soup before taking flight as a butterfly! 🦋 No amount of rushing will help this process… divine timing is the key!

@AlexHormozi Choice is: Stay in a lower energy of victimhood or raise your vibrational frequency to match your powerful Self

@Codie_Sanchez Totally understand this point, however not sure that I agree with using the word “useless”. I believe these friends are super useful for your heart, maybe not for the wallet 😊

@thejustinwelsh As a kid growing up in India, I vividly remember the lazy afternoon siestas under the shade of a big tree in out veranda, listening to the sounds of nature. Every day had a rhythm, everything slowed down when chores were done. True Happiness!

@dennisyu Few questions: Can we still have creator mode on a business page, and does it cost more to get a LinkedIn plan? Do you post on both your personal and business pages?
