Don't Touch It

  Hello Friend , Don't Touch It  Written By John Paul  πŸŽ―πŸ“ΊπŸŽ΄πŸŽ« About two months ago, I got an email from one of my clients. It had a PDF attachment. He was about to sign a deal with a potential investor who had agreed to invest $50,000 in his leather products business. After months of searching, we was very excited that the money he had been looking for was finally within his reach. This email was to get my advice on the content of the attached contract before he signs it. The investor's deadline was just about 24 hours away. He badly needed the money. I didn't have to read beyond the 2nd page of the contract before I replied his email. My reply was very short: "Don't touch it." A lot of entrepreneurs take the wrong money.

The terms of the deal were too restrictive, and they gave too much power to the investor. In essence, if my client

What is worrying you most at the moment?  If you have some time, I'd like you to  make a list of 5 immediate actions you can take to change and overcome those worries.  I'm asking you to do this because the dangers of worrying is that it eats into you if you don't do anything about it! It's always far worst than reality and so in order to be in control of your situation and not let worries consume your ability to function,  we have to think about what we can do instead of what we can't do. A couple of years ago, I

  What Doesn't Kill You Can Make You Stronger 🀹πŸ₯…πŸ€Ύ  Written By Mark Manson ⛳ To  another Mindf*ck Monday, the only weekly newsletter that unironically wears a mullet. Each week, I send you three potentially life-changing ideas to help you be a slightly less awful human being. This week we’re talking about: 1) post-traumatic growth, 2) living in the age of entitlement, and 3) the world really has become smaller.  1. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger -  A few weeks ago, I wrote  a newsletter  discussing the expanding definitions of words such as “trauma,” “violence,” and “harm” and how these expansions of definition in our culture, at a certain point, begin to have adverse effects.  Several readers were skeptical of this claim. They argued that trauma is always bad and that we should combat it regardless of how it arises. So I’d like to spend some time today discussing why this may not be totally true. As with most things in life (and especially in psychology), trauma is com
