Being deliberate about what you put in the world sets you apart.

If you’re reading this email, I want you to do something for me:

Commit to yourself.

Right here. Right now. The holidays are a time when most people “check out,” and -while there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that - it’s important to recognize that if you want to be different, you have to DO different.

Does that mean you have to ignore your family or deny yourself rest? Absolutely not. However, it does mean that you should approach the holiday season with intention. If you’re going to be present with your family, show up for them completely. If you’re going to set aside time for yourself to work on your 2023 planning, make it happen. If you’re going to push through and meet a strict deadline, crush it.

Commit fully without half measures, and let that be the type of person you are in all things. Prove to yourself that you’re willing to follow through, and don’t be someone who does things halfway. You are demonstrating to the world what you believe about yourself by how you show up.

Believe you’re exceptional? Want the world to see it too?

Prove it.

1. Here’s an uncomfortable truth: if you aren’t feeling tension, then you’re probably not pushing hard enough.

2. Excellence is a habit that requires effort everywhere - even in your relationships. Be intentional with your circle, and use these relationships to build you up.

3. Don’t get stuck doing what you’ve always done just because it’s comfortable. Take off the brakes, and let yourself rise.

4. Don’t let anger or resentment destroy your life, but don’t be afraid to use it as fuel. Focused correctly, it’s hard to rival that fire.

5. The best performers are impatient by nature. If you know you want more, use it as fuel. Keep going.

6. If you want to be an outlier, you’ve got to act like one.
