Member-only story
Have you ever felt like you are on top of the world, that you’re cruising, and then all of a sudden, something happens — one crucial key event in your life that you did not realize, and then everything comes to a halt?
For me, and I’m not trying to be dramatic, it happens every few years. And those big events just happen to be friends or coworkers leaving for better jobs or other friends starting ventures and companies.
One of the ways that I like to take stock of what I’ve done is to compare myself to others (which I would agree, is not the best way to assess how far you should be in your life) but I think that if I went to a reunion with my high school friends or even university friends at this point, have I achieved a lot compared to others? It’s sort of my way of kicking my own butt and trying to get myself to get going on or at least get started on the things that I’ve been thinking about, whether it’s starting a business or experimenting with marketing and ads.
It’s happened so much to me that I’ve actually developed a practice, based on James Altucher’s daily practice, that helps me get through things when I am suddenly stuck and trying to figure my next move. I’m sure you’ve been there too and I hope following this practice will help you (as it has helped me 100% of the time).
