WE #84: Hit Your Limits
|
Grab a cup of coffee. This is the Weekend Edition. *** Yesterday I got a notification from my bank. I saw the text message pop up on my phone but didn’t read it entirely. I just thought shit. What happened? Did I hit below a certain limit? Was a charge declined somewhere? Is my card stolen? My brain went into overdrive: Is it an overdraft fee? What did I miss?… The Surprise of Hitting Your LimitsYou can always tell what you fear when your mind jumps to a conclusion before you’ve got a real hold of it. My reaction to this notification surprised me. I thought my relationship with money was much improved, my thinking around it more evolved. I pride myself on knowing the place of money: strictly as a tool to provide options, not a be-all end-all solution to life's problems. But at the slightest hint of an issue, my brain went negative—a signal that I still have work to do around my emotions with money. And then I opened the text message: You have reached your upper limit. Oh. I reached my maximum deposit amount for the day. Holy shit. A few years ago, I set a notification for what I considered a year's worth of runway, a year of not needing to work. And I hit that number. I hit that number working from London, with clients I love, on projects genuinely making the world better, employing women, with enough downtime to be mistaken for a European. I just stood there quietly. I shared it with nobody––except you, today. My limits are not crazy. I have friends that make 2x, 3x what I make. But each person has their own goals, their own stepping stones, and I have respect for that. Because it’s a personal game. It’s not keeping up with the Jones’––it’s about you and your limits and your standards and your own ceilings. So crush them. Raise not just the ceiling; raise the floor. Not with anxiety or pressure or fear, but with gratitude, with compassion, with love. This is the whole game for me. This is the whole game. 📈 Behind the Business: One Person's Retirement is Another's Full Time JobI actually wrote about Jason Fried last week. He's one of my favorite CEOs as he just does things differently: he plays against himself, follows his gut, and operates on intuition. Well he recently posted this:
His retirement plan is how I make money today. It's the base that allows me to play, to build other things, to invest a little bit. When I started my business (10 years ago this July), my goal was to make $10 a day. Then it was $100 a day. Then it was $1000 a day. Now it's a different game altogether. And I love playing it. The lesson? Don't compare lives––even with people you admire. Just build the business that works for you. ⚡️ Quickhits
That's it from me today. Happy Easter, Happy Sunday. Have an amazing week!
Love this ❤️❤️❤️
