The Principles That Guide Me
Over the years, Iāve refined the way I approach business, learning, and life. My guiding principles keep me focused, efficient, and aligned with my long-term vision while ensuring I stay balanced and enjoy the process. These arenāt just ideasātheyāre actionable mindsets and habits that drive how I operate daily.
1. Mindset & Flow
Choosing My Reality
I believe in Reality Transurfing the idea that we choose our lifelines and realities based on our thoughts and energy. Instead of reacting to negativity or getting stuck in overthinking, I focus on conscious choice and alignment.
Core Values: Curiosity, Simplicity, Efficiency
These three words define my approach to work and life. I stay curious, constantly learning and questioning. I simplify complexity to make things actionable. And I focus on efficiency to maximize impact with minimal friction.
Trust & Action Over Overthinking
Clarity comes from doing, not just analyzing. Instead of endlessly strategizing, I take fast, informed action, trusting that adjustments can be made along the way.
The āGOODā Mindset
Challenges arenāt setbacks theyāre opportunities. When something unexpected happens, I say, āGOODā (inspired by Jocko Willink) and move forward. Every challenge brings a lesson or a new path forward.
Presence & Flow
I operate at my best when Iām fully present and working in flow. Instead of forcing productivity, I align my work with my natural rhythms and focus deeply on high-impact tasks.
2. People & Network
Surrounding Myself with Growth-Minded People
I actively seek out and invest in relationships that challenge, support, and elevate me. Spending time with people who think bigger and push me forward is non-negotiable.
Delegate & Focus on Strengths
Iāve learned that trying to do everything myself is a trap. I focus on what I do best and delegate the rest. Leverage beats hustle.
Quality Over Quantity
Not all relationships are equal. I prioritize deep, meaningful connections over surface-level interactions. A few great people in your corner are worth more than a hundred acquaintances.
3. Information & Learning
Deliberate Consumption
I donāt waste time on mindless scrolling. I curate my social media, reading list, and content consumption to focus on thinkers who actually contribute to my growth. If itās not adding value, itās out.
First Principles Thinking
I break things down to their fundamentals rather than accepting common assumptions. Whether in business or life, I want to understand the core mechanics of what makes something work.
Continuous Improvement (1% Rule)
Success isnāt about overnight wins itās about consistent, small improvements that compound over time. If I can get 1% better every day, Iām winning.
4. Daily Execution & Performance
Early Mornings & Deep Work
I perform at my best when I start the day with intention. My morning routine, deep work blocks, and structured focus hours ensure I execute at a high level.
Strict Boundaries: No Low-Value Tasks & 10 PM Screen Cutoff
Not all tasks are worth my time. I protect my focus, energy, and creative bandwidth by eliminating distractions and saying NO to things that donāt align. No screens after 10 PM helps me sleep better and stay sharp.
Family & Balance First
No matter how ambitious I am, I never lose sight of what matters. Family time is sacred, and I make sure my work doesnāt take away from my role as a husband and father.
Owning My Reality
Motivation isnāt something I wait for I create momentum through consistent action. No excuses, no waiting for the āperfectā moment. I take responsibility for my success.
Final Thoughts
These principles arenāt just theories; theyāre daily practices that keep me sharp, aligned, and moving forward. They help me build a business Iām proud of, maintain strong relationships, and operate at my best. If any of these resonate with you, letās connect Iām always up for a great conversation with people who think big. š
