The Principles That Guide Me

Over the years, Iā€™ve 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 arenā€™t just ideasā€”theyā€™re 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 ā€œGOODā€ Mindset

Challenges arenā€™t setbacks theyā€™re opportunities. When something unexpected happens, I say, ā€œGOODā€ (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 Iā€™m 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

Iā€™ve 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 donā€™t 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 itā€™s not adding value, itā€™s 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 isnā€™t about overnight wins itā€™s about consistent, small improvements that compound over time. If I can get 1% better every day, Iā€™m 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 donā€™t 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 doesnā€™t take away from my role as a husband and father.

Owning My Reality

Motivation isnā€™t something I wait for I create momentum through consistent action. No excuses, no waiting for the ā€œperfectā€ moment. I take responsibility for my success.

Final Thoughts

These principles arenā€™t just theories; theyā€™re daily practices that keep me sharp, aligned, and moving forward. They help me build a business Iā€™m proud of, maintain strong relationships, and operate at my best. If any of these resonate with you, letā€™s connect Iā€™m always up for a great conversation with people who think big. šŸš€
