It's 2025!!!

New Year, new me.

Said everyone every year…

How about we make this year different and tackle ideas, challenges, and goals more constructively this time? Who is with me?!

Quote 1:

“Are you being driven or are you being dragged?”

- Tim Ferriss (entrepreneur, author, investor, and public speaker known for his bestselling book The 4-Hour Workweek)

Think of life as being in the Matrix - there are only two pills, blue and red. There are only two choices and two ways of being: either you are the mover or the stopper.

Take a moment and ask yourself, are you the one moving things forward, or are you being dragged forward? Recognize which one it is and, if needed, make a change to accommodate the person you want to be.

Quote 2:

“You can't ask somebody for directions to a place they have never been.”

- Shaan Puri (entrepreneur, investor, and podcaster on "My First Million")

In the light of the New Year spirit of rebirth, change, and improvement, it is wise to reflect on the influence we get from people in our surroundings. People are fast to share their negative opinions, to tell us why we are wrong, why we are not supposed to do that crazy new project we are passionate about, and why we are wrong in living life the way we do. However, rarely do these people have the credibility to give an opinion on the matter.

With this in mind, surround yourself with people who can inspire you and motivate you to be the best version of yourself, and most importantly: get a mentor. Find a person who already has done the thing you want to do and ask for mentorship. This will help you greatly get to the place you want to go to.

Quote 3:

“If you want confusion and heartache, ask vague questions. If you want uncommon clarity and results, ask uncommonly clear questions. Often, all that stands between you and what you want is a better set of questions.”

- Tim Ferriss (entrepreneur, author, investor, and public speaker known for his bestselling book The 4-Hour Workweek)

In the coming year be clear with yourself and those around you. Ask clear and honest questions to get the same quality of answers. Save yourself time spent on doubt and frustration of not understanding those around you (or yourself).

It is always better to be precise and deliberate. Take control of the situation.

Happy New Years!!!

Love you, Igor
