What Not To Do

In part 2 with Mark Burwell, we double-click on

why your children should become your mentors

dodging energy vampires

the art of "cupid-ing"

and how to avoid a supernova burnout

Here's what Mark tells us NOT to do:

1. Don't be a spectator.

2. Don’t trust everyone.

3. Don’t try to help everyone.

4. Don’t ask customers what they want.

5. Don’t forget about the transition.

6. Don’t build cages.

7. Don’t retire.

Do you do what you love? I mean, do you even like what you do?

What would your perfect day look like? And what if that could be every day?

Is the apex of life retirement? And is that when we finally get to have the life we've always wanted?

What can parenting teach us about building a team? What can owning a business teach us about building a family?

In part 1 with Mark Burwell, we get into:

doing what you love

picking your lifestyle

re-thinking retirement

and the striking similarities between our children and our employees

And so much more.

If Karla Brooks had a billboard that billions would see, it would only have two simple questions:

Who are you?

What makes you happy?

It's Friday! And we pick up where we left off with Karla in our pursuit of happiness.

Want to be happy? Here's what Karla tells us NOT to do:

Don't take a job just because it looks good on a resume

Don't do work that doesn't light you up

Don't settle

Does it make you happy?

No? Then why are you doing it?

How do you know what makes you happy?

Do you know what should make you happy?

"Happiness" gets tossed around quite a bit in our day and age – and oftentimes in ways that end up being more self-destructive than not.

But that's not what Karla Brooks has in mind as the Founding Creator of It Makes Me Happy, where she fulfills her purpose by helping others find theirs.

Happiness starts with the end in mind.

And having a clear idea of where we're going will help us to discern what will help to get us there.

In other words, making choices along the way that help us fulfill our life purpose is the path to being truly happy.

It’s been said that the light that shines the farthest shines the brightest at home. 

We all tend to begin our reforms too far away from home. In her poem, Wishing, Ella Wheeler Wilcox takes us to the heart of the matter:

The man who wishes improvement strongly enough to set to work on himself is the man who will obtain results.

 Do you wish the world were better?

  Let me tell you what to do.

 Set a watch upon your actions,

  Keep them always straight and true.

 Rid your mind of selfish motives,

  Let your thoughts be clean and high.

 You can make a little Eden

  Of the sphere you occupy.

 Do you wish the world were wiser?

  Well, suppose you make a start,

 By accumulating wisdom

  In the scrapbook of your heart;

 Do not waste one page on folly;

  Live to learn, and learn to live.

 If you want to give men knowledge

  You must get it, ere you give.

 Do you wish the world were happy?

  Then remember day by day

 Just to scatter seeds of kindness

  As you pass along the way,

 For the pleasures of the many

  May be ofttimes traced to one.

 As the hand that plants an acorn

  Shelters armies from the sun.

It’s my absolute privilege and joy to bring these words to life with my music. And with that, I proudly present to you:

Wish.

Our life work inescapably impacts generations not yet born. 

But is that even on our minds when setting our goals?

How do cultures change? 

Why do empires fall? 

How do we fight such generational entropy?

Highlights from Part 4 with Ron Jung:

How to rule the world

How to make your work last generations

What message Ron wants billions to hear, starting with you

Here's what Ron tells us NOT to do:

Don't hold on.

Don't wait too long.

Don't forget the end.
