🎉 Here are my 53 Wisdom One Liners on my 53rd birthday 🎁🎂
Some I learned through success. Others cost me money, time, sleep and a few tears.
1. Success has a price, so does staying where you are.
2. Start where you are, you can improve as you go along.
3. Build your exit strategy at the beginning, while you build your business.
4. Create multiple income streams before you need them and constantly.
5. Pay yourself first and build assets; don’t let expenses consume everything you earn.
6. Don’t build a business you can’t walk away from.
7. Create your own path. Someone else’s success is not your instruction manual.
8. Believe BIGGER and Believe faster.
9. Choose five meaningful goals and work towards them consistently.
10. You can become who you’re called to become by making better decisions today.
11. ASK - For knowledge, help, opportunities and the sale.
12. Keep learning because what got you here will not get you where you want to be.
13. Find new ways to sell, serve and save.
14. Sell your way to success, but deliver enough value to earn the next sale.
15. Build people as well as the business.
16. Hire carefully because finding the right people takes time.
17. Use other people’s skills, time and resources wisely and create value for everyone involved.
18. Put systems around what works so success doesn’t depend on you doing everything.
19. Use AI to remove repetitive work and give your people more room to do valuable work.
20. Build a bigger asset column before you build a bigger lifestyle.
21. Buy luxuries from the income your assets produce, not the other way round.
22. Know your numbers as revenue alone won’t tell you whether you are building wealth.
23. Take emotion out of business decisions, instead look at the evidence.
24. Fight for your financial future; no one can take responsibility for it on your behalf.
25. There is almost always another way so go find it.
26. Reinvent yourself when the season changes.
27. Your yesterday does not have to become your tomorrow.
28. Do the work even when you don’t feel like it.
29. Tell yourself it will work out, then do what you can to make it work.
30. Get up expecting to win, and prepare well enough to give yourself a chance.
31. Most of the things you worry about never happen so don’t let imagined problems steal today.
32. Protect your peace and your sanity because success is too expensive if it costs you both.
33. Get enough sleep - you make better decisions when you are rested.
34. Drink more water. 💦
35. Move your body regularly.
36. Walk outdoors - sometimes your best thinking happens away from a screen.
37. Feed your mind every day.
38. Take time off without feeling guilty about it.
39. Know yourself - stop measuring your life against everyone else’s.
40. Go where you are celebrated, not where you are tolerated.
41. Never accept advice from anyone more messed up than you are.
42. Set boundaries with people who repeatedly pull you away from your purpose.
43. Forgive so that you can move forward freely.
44. Speak to yourself as someone whose future matters.
45. Stand your ground when you know what you are called to do.
46. Give where you are led to give as there are many takers.
47. Ask for God’s help and have the faith to take the next step.
48. Relationships and marriage matter more than money so treat them that way.
49. Make room for happiness now, not only when you reach the next milestone.
50. Failure does not get the final word while you are willing to get up again.
51. For things to change, I must be willing to change.
52. If it’s not making money, it’s not making sense! Except if it’s making a difference, building an asset or serving a purpose.
53. Don’t just make a living. Go out and Live Like a Champion. 🏆
🚨 BONUS one: Failure is a choice. As long as you’re willing to get up, failure will not be your undertaker.
At 53, I’m still learning, still building and still grateful to God for every chapter, including the hard ones.
