This Simple Truth Will Change Your Life

Hello Your World Within Community!

I hope this finds you filled with energy and ready to conquer the day!  

Recently, I talked a bit about my experiences with a mastermind group in Santa Monica. Today,  I’m excited to share a particularly impactful message from those discussions—one that resonates deeply with the entrepreneurial spirit. 

During our conversation on navigating the fear of uncertainty that accompanies making bold business decisions—the usual “what if it all goes south?” scenario—a moment of profound clarity arose from the group. It was a reminder that the true essence of entrepreneurship is the capacity to create and recreate.

It’s not about the thing, it’s about building the thing. 

We often get so wrapped up in protecting our creations that we forget the real magic lies in our ability to create, to begin with. Your business, your projects, your ideas—they’re not the be-all and end-all. They're proof of your incredible capacity to bring something of value to the world. 

And guess what? You can do it again. And again. 

The worth isn’t in what you’ve built, it’s in you—the builder. The real value? Your skills, your knowledge, your builder’s spirit. That’s something no one can take away from you, no matter what. 

The real achievers can start from scratch and rise again. Why? Because they’ve mastered the art of acquisition, of seeing abundance where others see scarcity.

As you navigate through your professional and personal life, remember that your true worth is not encapsulated in your achievements but in your ability to forge new paths. As the adage teaches, giving someone a fish sustains them for a day, but teaching them to fish ensures a lifetime of sustenance. Similarly, your value is inherent in your ability to fish—in your skills, resilience, and creativity.

You can be bold or play it safe. Playing it safe is cozy. It’s comfortable. But it’s like sitting on a goldmine and being too scared to dig. Imagine spending years honing your craft, only to hold back because you’re afraid to rock the boat.

It’s time to shift gears from scarcity to abundance. From protecting to projecting. From holding back to leaping forward. Every master was once a disaster—mistakes are just unexplored paths that didn’t pan out. But what about next time?

Fear is a sneaky little critter, always lurking. But here’s a secret: most decisions are reversible. Took a wrong turn? Back it up and try a different route. The real tragedy lies in roads never taken, adventures never embarked upon.

So, what’s our mantra for the week? Dive in. Take that risk. Aim for the moon. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about succeeding in one endeavor. It’s about embracing the journey, learning from the ups and downs, and knowing that no matter what happens, you’ve got what it takes to start over and over.

Let's make this week about pushing boundaries, about believing in your infinite potential to build and rebuild. You’re not just making waves. You’re creating oceans. 

Stay bold, stay brilliant, and most importantly, stay building.

Continue to live inspired,

Eddie
