if you didn't make progress in 2025, listen to the first 10 minutes

Show you something that's honestly changed my life. Have I showed you this? Five year diary. No. Okay. So let me explain how this works. Dude, I am so jealous that I did not invent this journal. So, basically, here's how my five year journal works. I, on every single page, it says, like, you know, December 1, and then it has the first year, the second year, the third year, the fourth year, the fifth year. Oh. Yes. I'm interested. You took this journaling thing from, like, oh, great. The most boring topic ever, journaling, to, oh, wait. That's pretty cool. I kinda want one. I started doing this in November, like, a week the week of Thanksgiving, actually. And so you're always getting to last year's entries. Like, a week ago, you mean? I started doing it a year ago last week. Oh, last year. Okay. I've talked about this three times now. This is the third time. This is the first time it's clicking.

Why did I lose my temper today and make myself look stupid? Why didn't I pause for, like, ten seconds and, like, reflect before I, like, you know, snapped at, like, my wife or a kid or something? And I think I've concluded a few things. One, humans don't change. Actually, change is let me rephrase that. I've concluded that change is unnatural. Change is not natural. Like, it's it's inertia is natural. Yeah. Right. Inertia is the default. And so you can change, and I actually have changed, like, a bit a lot of big things in my life. And I was thinking about what causes change, and I think a good representation of what causes changes. In business, typically, this happens at the 10,000,000 mark. The difference between 10,000,000 and a 100,000,000 a year business oftentimes is systems. So I think it typically comes down to hiring great people and creating great systems.
