  • Doing Deeply Interested Work

    This resonates with me.

    The work I’m doing is something I can easily do deep work and lose track of the time.

    It’s about pushing the boundaries in how Deaf people communicate, learn, and thrive.

    It’s about challenging the status quo. There’s technology, AI, interpreting services industry and online coaching.

    It’s about empowering Deaf people to take ownership of the narrative that can and will transform lives.

    Like a bamboo plant, I won’t see the changes immediately with the deep work I’m doing, but when the time comes, it’ll be ready.

  • You are focusing on the wrong thing. Read this.

    When I paid off my 6-figure student loans (and my spouse’s) 4 years ago, I started to shift my focus.

    One of my focuses is not playing status games.

    Some of the things that are no longer my priority are:

    • looking to change the world.
    • looking to build the next big thing.
    • looking to pursue a title.
    • looking for more projects, people, etc.

    I used to think of wanting to get the highest valuation (i.e. profit) but that changed…

    Where I am in life now with a growing family, I shift my focus to:

    • spend time with my wife and toddlers.
    • fly out to visit my family and in-laws anytime.
    • work on projects that will have an impact.
    • have meaningful conversations.

    When you list out priorities in your life, it can change the course of action. Then, you start to take a different path with intentionality.

    What are you doing now? Living someone else’s life? Or living your own?

    When you’re ready to start living a life on your own terms, you can start with something affordable by taking the 7 Day Shift now.

  • Believe in Yourself

    Believing in yourself is a fundamental element of success and happiness in life. It means having a strong sense of confidence, self-worth, and trust in your abilities, talents, and potential. It is about having a positive mindset and a can-do attitude toward life’s challenges and opportunities.

    When you believe in yourself, you are more likely to:

    • take risks
    • pursue your dreams and goals
    • handle setbacks with resilience and determination

    You have a sense of purpose and direction that guides you toward success and fulfillment.

    Believing in yourself is not just about having blind faith in your abilities. It also involves developing self-awareness and a growth mindset. It requires acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses and having the willingness to learn and improve continuously.

    To cultivate self-belief, it is essential to surround yourself with positive influences such as:

    • supportive friends and family
    • mentors
    • role models who inspire you.

    Additionally, taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally is crucial by engaging in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.

    Remember, self-belief is not something that happens overnight, but it is a process that takes time, effort, and patience. As you develop a stronger sense of self-belief, you will find that your life becomes more meaningful, fulfilling, and successful. So, believe in yourself, trust in your abilities, and don’t be afraid to take on life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.
