The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature. Marcus Aurelius
Product of the day:
GrooveDigital https://groovepages.groovesell.com/a/0GvLkiYEsp3q
When I discovered Groove and saw they offered everything you need to sell online - for free, I thought it was too good to be true but had to sign up to test it out.
I realized with Groove, I could:
Build all the pages and funnels I need
Manage and communicate with affiliates
Sell all the products I want
Include upsells, downsells, and order bumps to increase store conversions
And more.

Stories from real life:
Smashed my phone and was forced to upgrade early. Didn’t get the latest greatest newest one, but did buy a newer one than ever before 🤑😱🤯
Highlight of my week: former MLBer Shea Hillenbrand commenting on my https://www.facebook.com/Keneash86/posts/pfbid036W7khU9PSC49QVP2s2h2vU4a7U9Ui8RsqmYjQSjdLnca59DRDzNMgjU3hYkx5aurl?__cft__[0]=AZVNVemYU1oFYRzp5W78feBp6DYtvWDUh67hOD7y4e80KUTKSkdNYJd5YeQYDi5eQ7GsBJV9-vs4eSXtptRFbtvLR420ijQrlAdt52vLNwnJXYlSjNolwDveSfyD8kSY8m-k8thtuNVG7-8UUP_PBFYLpc_dr-3yfRI9C43367jklg&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R (FB post).
State of the business(es):
Too much work, no time to do the things I REALLY want to do. Cutting back on the type and amount of work I’m taking on, maybe even the customers I’m taking on.

“5-KEYS” tip:On interpersonal relationships: one thing you can look out for in other people is the way they carry themselves. Covered in ep 69, 74, and 81. DISC, Direct, Interactive, Supporting, Critical, personality types.
The Direct person will display confidence, like he or she owns the place and knows what’s up.
The Interactive person will be engaging with anyone and/or everyone in their vicinity.
The Supporting one will be holding a door, or picking up a piece of trash, or looking for ways to help someone else out.
The Critical person will be scanning people/place/things to find what’s missing or out of place. They are looking for the details everyone else is missing.

No one owes you anything. Not your dad, mom, brother, sister, or even the guy that punched you in the face in 5th grade. You don’t “deserve” a new phone, the latest xbox, the nicest clothes, or even your next meal. Simply existing is not a reason to be handed the things you want in life, or even the things it takes to keep you alive.
The Constitution said it best: “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”.
Life, you were given at birth.
Liberty, is slowly being eroded away, but you still have the liberty to go Do/Be/Have what you want in life. You still have the liberty to create the kind of life you want to live. I you believe you don’t or can’t, then you won’t. It’s as simple as that.
The pursuit of happiness is where...
