See it live

Hockey on TV? Not the same. You gotta see it live.

Hamilton on mp3? Not the same. You gotta see it live.

Pretty much every landmark you’d see in history books? Not the same. You gotta see it live.

Life’s about rich experiences.

Go see it live.

[Related: Purchase decisions are also easier when you can see products live. Here’s a link to watch one of our live Vitamix demos. Except for trying what we make, it’s as if you were seeing it live.]

31

I’m 31. Act I is done.

It was fun.

On to Act II.

Here’s to you.

Sit, stay, snap

With the two hours per day you spend on Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., think about the orphan who’d love to have spent that time by your side.

  • Learning from you.
  • Playing with you.
  • Fine. Posing for selfies with you that you can post to your various social media accounts.

So put down the phone.

And go adopt a dog.

Send you a link

Have you seen this? I’ll send it to you.

Really?

No you won’t.

Unless you do it immediately after we talk, you’re not gonna. And then you look like an ass for breaking a simple promise.

Send the links immediately.

Or don’t say you will.

Your words

Think of your words like stuff you’d throw onto soil.

Are you they like seeds? You know, helping create something that will grow.

Or are they garbage? Destroying the land and bumming every one out.

Useful

Your earnings are a pretty good indication of how useful you are to people.

So think of it how you want.

  • A justification for wanting to make money? Cool.
  • A measurement for how useful you are to people? Fine, too.
  • A strategy for building a business? Great.

Bottom line: Be useful.
