"Your mind is a problem finding machine. Your journal must become a win finding machine. The one you feed more often will determine the fuel you have for the journey."


Hey ,


Over the last few days...


We've have talked about quite a bit...


We've dealt with...


Mindset...


Your offer...


Your messaging...


Conversion path...


How to get you some leverage.


You now have pretty cool map.


But a map is useless if you don't know how to use it...


Especially in bad weather...


The truth is...


Even the most perfect system will be tested.


Old habits will creep in...


Motivation will wane...


And you'll face moments of doubt.


The "real" work isn't just building the system.


It's living it.


And that all boils down to two ongoing practices.


1. The Compass: Your Daily "OMG Yes" Check-in


The "OMG Yes or No" filter isn't a one time tool you use to design your offers.


It's your daily compass.


The most common way misalignment creeps back in...


Is through small...


Seemingly harmless "yeses" that accumulate over time.


An obligation here...


A small compromise there.


Soon...


You're back on the path you tried to leave.


So what do you do?


Start each day with a simple check in.


Look at your calendar and your to do list and ask:


"Does how I'm about to spend my energy today feel like an 'OMG Yes'?"


This isn't about achieving perfection.


It's about making constant...


Small course corrections that keep you pointed toward your true north.


2. The Fuel: Celebrate Your Wins


An entrepreneur's brain is a problem solving machine.


If you let it...


It will only ever show you what's broken...


What's lacking, and what needs to be fixed.


This is a direct path to burnout.


You have to intentionally give it a different job: finding what's working.


How?


Well...


At the end of every week...


Write down 1 to 3 wins.


Did you get a kind note from a client?


That's a win.


Did you publish a piece of content you were proud of?


That's a win.


Did you say "no" to something that wasn't aligned?


That's a huge win.


This practice isn't about ego...


It's about generating the emotional fuel required for a long journey.


Gratitude and momentum are your most sustainable resources.


The map is in your hands.


The compass and the fuel are how you navigate the journey.


But there's one final ingredient that determines how far and how fast you'll go.


It's the most overlooked growth hack of all.


We'll cover it tomorrow.


This is The Certain Way.


So...


Get out of your own way.
