Raising your prices isn’t solely about making more money: it helps position your business for further growth because higher prices attract better clients, it boosts your brand’s perceived value, and it gives you room to invest in better services/employees, marketing, and (most importantly imo) automation.
The key is to JUSTIFY the increase by packaging your offering for premium value, communicating that value confidently, and rolling it out strategically.

I find it ironic that the name of the Federal Reserve's press releases are called Fed Listens.
Listen to this:
An unelected federal reserve prints an uncapped supply of GDP-backed fiat currency at rapidly increasing rates while decisions are made to primarily benefit large market movers without the input of citizens of the country this institution seemingly represents, leading to growing inflation, reduced faith in institutions, a lack of free speech, and diminished rights of the citizenry.
#bitcoin fixes this.

Daily Journal: 12.21.2024.
Finished a solid workout this morning. Just want to share a few thoughts that I had while I was getting after it today. Might be a bit raw, and I hope I don't offend anyone but here we go.
It was snowing last night here in New York. It's a beautiful sight, but there is a reason why I moved to Miami: I never liked to shovel snow. Looking at the accumulated snow on the sidewalk made me think about something.
There's a fine line between not doing the work and being stagnated. What I mean is this: imagine you're with two friends and you decide to go around shoveling people's snow for money (a common business idea for kids in cold climates). Three people, equal effort, equal split. When you're part of a team, besides being the teammates who actually put in the effort and get stuff done, you can be one of two types of people: the first is the person who wants to shovel the snow, but isn't even picking up the tools. In this case you'd not be doing the work. But then there's the person who picks up the shovel and pretends to shovel the snow: they're pretending like they're doing something to not get yelled at by their teammates.
I don't know which is worse. In either case, the snow isn't getting shoveled.
I feel like most of the complainers in Corporate America are the second type of person. They do the bare minimum to show that they're worthy of the paycheck they're receiving, and that's it. I'm not saying there aren't people doing good work, of course there are. But those types generally don't complain. They understand that the effort needs to be put in.
This is why I encourage EVERYONE to open their own business. Most people, I believe, WANT to do good things, good work, and put in effort. I just believe they don't have the right incentive. And I think the incentive that most people need is to feel the pride of having built something. And if you fail, fuck it: back to Corporate America as the worst case scenario. In either way, at least you tried.
And there's some pride in that.
Told you it might be raw.
Let's revisit our thoughts tomorrow, and let's get after it today. 💪🏽

Clearly Successful: 12.20.2024.
Happy Friday all!! I've been on an insane travel schedule and will continue to be over the next few weeks. However, I still want to post my wins her, and I know I have been slacking on posting. So just going to be writing for now instead of video or other mediums - using this as a public journal of sorts.
Got a solid workout in today. Every time I'm back in New York, I hit body weights and kettlebells. Reminds me that even though we have so much access to fitness centers and equipment, we still have a tendency to make excuses and not go. When you work with bare minimum equipment, you really get back to primal roots. Plus, you can really get a sweat on, especially if you do higher numbers.
In today's disposable day and age, many of us fall prey to Gear Acquisition Syndrome, or GAS (yes yes I know lol). Basically, you want to do something and rack up all the best gear needed to do that task. Only to have your motivation diminished within three days of starting the activity and the gear just sits there, collecting dust and unable to be sold for the amount of money you wasted on it.
I personally would rather achieve my goal with as few resources expended as possible. But that's just me.
Anyways, I hope you guys are having a solid day! Let's get after it today. 💪🏽

Just because you get burned on the stove once doesn't mean you stay hungry forever.
Shit happens. Learn from it, and move on.

I grew up in a small business household run by immigrant parents.
My parents always had this mentality like, "I'm paying this person X amount of money to do some work, but they never get it done. They're not worth it. I'll just do it myself."
What I've learned is that teaching someone how to do something properly once is way more valuable than repetitively doing it yourself. You may save that X amount per hour, but your time as the business owner is worth more than that: it would be more valuable to help someone grow as an essential part of your organization instead.
There is no price on growth. There is no price on time.
"One of the strange things about human beings is that they value only that which has a price."

Tunnel vision leads to siloed growth.
As an entrepreneur, you have to tackle problems from all aspects of the business while being a team leader and a visionary. It's impossible to keep a ship steady if you're only focused on a single sail.
"It is difficult to understand the universe if you study only one planet. One must be aware of all of the arts by becoming familiar with many of them as part of one’s complete devotion to one of them. Endeavor to know all things."

The things I pursue or avoid don't come to me; I go to them, and whatever irks me stems directly from within me. If I keep my mind at peace then the things I want will come to me.
"If those things, the pursuit and avoidance of which trouble you, come not to you; but, as it happens, you go to them; then let your judgment be at peace concerning them, they will remain motionless, and you will no more be seen pursuing or avoiding them."

Obstacles are just kindling for growth.
What holds you back is just weak compared to your potential. Ignite the change you want to see in yourself.
"Fire rises upward on account of the elemental fire; and it is so ready to join in kindling with all the fire that is here that any matter pretty dry is easily set on fire, because that which hinders its kindling is the weaker element in its composition."

Every day I'm learning that true contentment lies in earning many small victories, not only big ones. I will reflect on what I have already earned, continue to win, and never stop going for the larger goal. I believe this brings joy to your life, and cultivates a sense of abundance in each moment.
"You have endured innumerable sufferings by not being satisfied with your own ruling part when it does the things which it was formed to do. Enough then of that."

Happiness is a choice. We can choose to hold on to what eats at us or we can let it go.
Today, I choose to break free from my internal demons, and walk a more liberated path. I will succeed.
"To-day I have escaped from all trouble; or rather I have cast out all trouble from me. For it was not without but within, in my own opinions."

- MORNING THOUGHTS -
My inner self can be a real assh*le.
I've come to realize that thought shapes reality, and I've started to "regulate" my inner dialogue. It's such a cliché statement that you can "manifest"reality, but it's true that you can work towards constructing your own thinking.
"When you are grieved about anything external it is not the thing itself which afflicts you, but your judgment about it."

I read books.
I exercise every day.
It's been 45 days since I quit drinking.
I've come to appreciate self-reflection as the path to growth: to take a moment, every day, to examine my thoughts and actions. I ask myself, "What have you learned about yourself, and how can you use this knowledge to better yourself today?"
I'm just getting started.
Let's get after it today. 💪🏽
"Each man has his own pleasure. Mine lies in having my ruling part sound; without aversion to any man, or to any hap that may befall mankind. Yet let me look on all things with kindly eyes. Let me accept and use them all according to their worth."
