a lesson that will have you living better and thinking higher

I'm watching a group of guys at the coffee shop.

They're pretty loud.

And pretty engaged.

But are they talking about anything valuable?

Are they discussing anything that could change their lives?

No.

Because they're not growth-focused individuals.

And they're not some high-performance mastermind either.

This email is going to be a bit long, but it contains real life-changing value that you won't find in any motivation video or self-help book.

Even most mentors forget to talk about this.

They assume you know.

So let me tell you (but please read the whole email)...

Great minds aren't shaped overnight.

No shit, right?

But still, when you sit with your friends you waste hours talking about other people's lives and Netflix shows.

You have to understand this

You don't have to cut off every friend.

Rather, you have to audit your conversations and recognize where your time goes.

Sure, have fun, share jokes...

That's what friends do.

But when was the last time anyone in your circle:

• Shared a business insight

• Discussed a book

• Challenged your thinking

• Pushed you to grow

So what did I do?

I started tracking my conversations for a week, noting down exactly what I discussed and with whom.

The results were shocking.

90% was noise.
7% was gossip.
3% was actual value.

Because that's what most people can offer.

So take away 1: AUDIT YOUR CONVERSATIONS

Then there's the 2nd lesson which is just as important as the first.

And this comes naturally the more you grow.

And the more conscious you become.

But first... for any of these lessons... a growth mindset needs to be in place.

You can't be wasting 4 hours daily on meaningless chatter just because you're afraid of being alone.

You have to stand for your growth.

Be intentional.

And choose your circle with purpose.

Read this as many times as you need to.

Your environment shapes your reality.

Above average people talk about ideas.

Average people talk about things.

Below average people talk about other people.

While most would say "but that's what friends do!"

I challenge that assumption.

I use the power of conscious choice.

And tell you what you need to hear: Your conversations shape your future.

Because in the end...

You really have to understand yourself.

Do you want more gossip?

Or do you want GROWTH?

Obvious answer, right?

So here's the 2nd lesson: Give every interaction a purpose. Don't just fill time.

In your friendships, and in your conversations (especially your daily ones), every minute needs to justify its existence.

If not, cut it.
