Lesson 311: It's Never Too Late

There are stories of people that only hit their prime in their late 40s and 50s. In fact, there are some that do that even older so do not be dismayed if things you want don't happen at a certain time. Keep pushing. Keep doing the work and in time, you'll reap those reqrds. Remember it's never too late as long as you are alive and well, you can go for that goal you want to achieve.

PROMPT: What was the last thing you completed? How long did it take?

Lesson 310: The Darkness Never Wins The Light  

No matter how dark it gets, hold on and keep pushing because the light is just around the corner. It might be difficult. Every part of your body might be screaming for you to stop and stay engulfed by the darkness but don't. Keep pushing. Keep moving forward and you'll get to the light. Once you get to the light, the darkness goes away.

Lesson 308: Investment > Speculation

A few months ago, a subreddit, had Game Stop stocks flying and a lot of people making money in the process. It felt cool yet a few days later a couple of people lost a ton of money from the same stocks too. Speculating might feel cool but it rarely pays off in the long run. Investing, however, getting in and holding for the long term is almost always the better option. Whenever you are doing something, always keep the long term in mind.

PROMPT: How do you use your money?

Lesson 307: Money Is A Tool

Money is a tool and it should be used in such a manner. We shouldn't get so caught up in making money that we forget the things that matter, the things that truly matter, like loved ones, our health, our wellbeing because when shit hits the fan, there's only so much money can do for you. It's a tool, use it accordingly.

PROMPT: How do you use your money?

Lesson 306: Treasures Can Be Found In Trash

Gently recycle or reuse things before you throw them out. On the other hand, be diligent and pay attention because you never know where you might find something amazing. It could even be in the trash.

PROMPT: What treasure have you found in trash?

Lesson 305: Respect Their Time

I don't think you'd love it if someone kept you waiting for an appointment. Well, then don't keep people waiting either. Once you've set a time for an appointment, stick to it. In fact, show up a few minutes before the set time so you are relaxed and comfortable in the space. When you treat other people's time with respect, they will treat yours with respect too.

PROMPT: How did you show respect for their time today?

Lesson 304:  Build Back Better

When you are given an opportunity to rebuild something, make sure the work you put in is deep work and aim to build something better than was there before. It might feel daunting but once you have your intentions set and you are willing to do the work, take things one step at a time, bit by bit and before you know it, you'll build something remarkable.

PROMPT: What are you currently building back?

Lesson 303: Have A Succession Plan

If you want to keep the amazing thing you've built going as amazing, even more so, you have to make sure you have a solid succession plan in place. When you've defined your succession plan, everyone involved will know the role they are playing and will do what is needed. Without a succession plan, it should not be a shock if something awesome crumbles.

PROMPT: What's your succession plan?

Lesson 302: Some Risks Are Essential

There is risk in almost everything we do. However, there are some risks that are not worth it while there are others that are. We just have to decide how much we are willing to risk for the potential reward. That said, we should also keep in mind that not every risk taken will end up in receiving a reward.

PROMPT: What essential risk, did you take today?
