coffee with a billionaire – 145 lives saved – put your seed in the ground

well that went pretty well.

last week, we had a heck of a lot of radiators get in touch with “i’m in”, the biggest response this year, i hope your 24 hour jeffs hyper happy day went well?

i did find myself holding back a few times where i would have been negative, shame on me.

and also found it has influenced me all week, so i’m gonna try another friday being as positive as possible, and hoping eventually it’ll improve me even more, feel free to message me “i’m still in” if you fancy joining in.

today, i am also going to share a blog i’ve received from the late great jim rohn, who if you’re not familiar with his work, check him out here, if you like the blog, he’s a rockstar.

before you read jim’s wisdom, two quick things.

1. last week i discovered mark bowden the body language coach

and having read andrew wilkinson, the billionaires book, and now being on his newsletter list, it turns out he is holding an entrepreneurs lunch, with a body language course being taught by mark, which piqued my interest.

so, i wrote to andrew, and said i was interested in attending, and told him about bigmoose, to which he replied he’d like to have a chat about us, so on 19th may i head to meet andrew and mark.

in victoria.

in canada.

a long way to go, but if i get an audience with a billionaire, i’m in, wish me luck.

2. this week we had our 145th life saved, which truly inspires me, chloe and our team every time we receive this great news, thanks for being on the journey with us.

so with no further ado, please enjoy jim rohn. my friend, i’ve been thinking about something lately. have you ever watched a tree in springtime? it doesn’t hold back. it doesn’t say, “well, maybe i’ll grow a few inches this year and see how it goes.” no – that tree is reaching for everything it can become. every branch stretches toward the sun. every root pushes deeper into the soil. the tree has no committee meetings about whether growth is a good idea this quarter.

here’s what fascinates me: every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings. the tree grows as tall as it possibly can. the bird flies as far as it’s able. but we have this unique ability to choose – and sometimes we choose small. we choose comfortable. we choose “good enough.” and i’m not pointing fingers here, because i’ve done it too. we all have seasons where we’ve settled for less than we’re capable of becoming.

but here’s the key – spring doesn’t ask for permission. it arrives whether we’re ready or not. the question isn’t whether opportunity will come; the question is whether we’ll be like that tree, reaching for our maximum, or whether we’ll hold back and wonder what might have been. nature doesn’t negotiate with its potential, and neither should we.

right now

april reminds us that spring isn’t just a season on the calendar – it’s an invitation. the soil is warm, the days are longer, and everything around us is pushing toward growth. this is nature’s way of asking: what will you plant? what will you reach for? while others are still talking about their new year’s resolutions, spring rewards those who put seeds in the ground. the harvest of fall is being decided right now, in these weeks of april, by what you choose to plant today.

a story

you can’t harvest what you don’t plant

this week, take out a piece of paper and answer this question: what is one thing i’ve been meaning to plant – one goal, one habit, one conversation, one project -that i’ve been putting off? write it down. then ask yourself: what’s the smallest seed i can put in the ground today? not next month. not when conditions are perfect. today. remember, the tree doesn’t wait for ideal circumstances. it simply grows.

thanks jim.

blue skies,

jeff
