These 30 lessons are my roadmap to a life I love. Want this guide as a free PDF? Sign up here.
1. Lift Weights to Lift Your Life

I bombed a pitch once, foggy from dehydration. A gallon of water daily keeps my energy and focus razor-sharp. Grab a jug and drink up now.

A camping trip after a brutal week felt like hitting reset. Three hours in nature weekly—hiking, surfing—recharges your soul. Plan a getaway this weekend.
11. Breathe Away the Chaos
A screaming client call had me spiraling until I took five deep breaths. Yoga and breathing dissolve stress and pain like nothing else. Try a quick stretch now.
12. Let Go of What Doesn’t Matter
I lost sleep over a snarky online comment until I realized it’s just noise. Caring less about small stuff frees your mind. Ignore one petty thing today.
13. Face Your Mortality
A hospital visit at 27 hit me like a truck: I’m not invincible. Thinking about death sharpens your focus on now. Reflect for a minute tonight.
14. Filter Out Bad Advice
A so-called expert’s tip tanked my first venture. Only trust people whose lives you’d swap for. Check one mentor’s track record today.

Sugar binges left me foggy and fat. Cutting it cleared my head and leaned me out. Skip that soda today and notice the shift.

A whiskey at a conference led to a game-changing deal. Responsible drinking at high-level events opens doors—sloppy doesn’t. Plan to attend a networking event soon.

I chased bigger paychecks and burned out. Asking how little I need—money, work—unlocked real happiness. List your true essentials today.
21. Ditch the Porn Habit
Porn twisted my view of love until I quit cold turkey. It frees your brain for real connection. Try a week without it, starting now.
22. Slow Down to Savor Life
I rushed through goals, missing the joy. Savoring the process—work, love—makes every day richer. Pause to enjoy one moment today.
23. Don’t Assume the Worst
A client’s screw-up had me fuming until I realized they were just clueless. Most mistakes are stupidity, not malice. Let go of one grudge now.

A “friend” drained my energy until I walked away. Toxic people poison your life—drop them fast. Distance yourself from one downer now.

Hating an ex ate me alive until I let it go. Forgiveness isn’t for them—it’s your freedom. Forgive someone today, for your sake.

Life is short. So enjoy it while it lasts. Have fun. Do the things you want to do. Eliminate hate and anger from your heart. Live your life on your terms so you can die with no regrets.
Stay Grounded.
