Your fulfillment in life will never be achieved with clean hands and perfect order. It’s in the messiness of life that you will find beauty. It’s in the mistakes in life that you will find clarity.

So you’ve built a world class brand and have a following of people who share the same values as you… now what? Amplification. This is all about growing your tribes and engaging in a meaningful way. How do we do this?

It’s 2019 and we’re still obsessed with work. I’m sure this has been the case for centuries, but when I stop and look at everyone around me, this fact just straight up punches me in the face.

There is a spark in us all that makes us unique. A creative force that needs to be realized and released. A view of the world that is beautiful and completely original to us. We can either withhold this gift, retract from letting the world see it, and smother the spark. Or we can care for it, place it on kindling, and share the brilliance of it with all.

Some might have professional goals or wealth goals, but I have character goals. These are the things I want to be known as in my life. 

I'm at the point in my career when I'm starting to figure out what conditions create an environment where I deliver value to my customers and simultaneously attain fulfillment in life. It's a magical elixir that I'm working on perfecting the recipe to. That magical elixir that helps me deliver brilliant work, at a fair price, thats meaningful to my client and their tribes. 

A little Tuesday morning encouragement for you hustling out there. This journey isn't a ladder. If there's one thing I've learned in the past 7 years of owning my own business, it's that most of the time there isn't a simple, clear path to the next rung... It's a series of landslides, giant boulders  blocking the path, and a deep valley on one side.
