You Can do Anything. But You Can’t do Everything

Who doesn’t like making a new friend? If you know me, I clearly do.

There times in your life where you can say yes to anything.

• Getting over a break-up? —> Distract yourself by saying yes to anything you’re invited to

• New to a school? —> Make new friends by saying yes to events you’re invited to

• New to a city? —> Say yes to any party you’re invited to

Everything sounds fun when you’re not doing it. A new thing to do or new person to meet? The allure of something “new” is intoxicating. I suffer from that intoxication…constantly.

There is a time for saying yes to everything. Doors will swing open when you meet people and put yourself out there.

How do you feel right now. Do me a favor, do a quick check in. How do you REALLY feel? Did reading the last 104 words make you want to go be social, find a new job, make a new friend, hope to meet the person of your dreams at the next party? I got pumped just writing that for you. Lucky me.

You know what’s fucking hard?

Saying no.

Hear me out. It’s tough to tell someone who is offering you an opportunity to turn it down. You want to be liked, you don’t want to let that person down, you want to be invited back.

What is even scarier is never being able to “do the thing” you’ve really wanted to do because you just didn’t “have the time.” Then one day, you die. And you never would have tried.

Now tell me. Which sounds worse?

I’m entering focus season right now. A time where I have found 1-2 things that I decided to put all my effort into. For at least the next three months. I’m going to have to say no to a lot of things.

Its going to hurt.

I would rather have really tried to learn something new or built a product for people by putting all my effort and focus into it rather than half-ass-ing it and coming up with an excuse why it didn’t work out.

• “I didn’t have enough time”

• “I’ll do it next week, after ____ “

• “I can’t afford that right now”

Sound familiar? It does to me.

Look, I’m not here to go Tony Robbins on you. But I have become fascinated with how mindset drives outcomes. The point of me saying is not to juice you up to shill a shitty affiliate product.

The point is to make you think: is there really a obstacle in front of me, or am I the problem.

Do me a favor. Clarify that “one thing” you’ve really been wanting to do:

• Plan a trip out of the country

• Learn a new skill

• Build a product

I promise if you devote 4 weeks of real focus you will come out the other side having done something kick-ass instead of half-ass

Reply to this email or tweet out what you’re going to focus on the next and how you’re going to get it done.

Saying yes to something is saying no to a million other things. Do the opposite. Focus on that one thing and figure out a way to make it happen.

Now, I’m gunna run through a freaking wall.

I’m rooting for you 🙌🏻,

Jared

I need a favor from you. Every week I spend several hours crafting this email to give you entirely for free. Banger, after banger. Except it’s not actually free.

I love doing this, but I also love seeing this grow (You might say I’m flawed. But you’re not my therapist). To keep this free it would mean the world to me, and my ego, if you shared this with just 1 person who you think would also like this.
