“Whenever you give in to envy, the very best you possibly can hope for is second greatest — since you’re following another person’s path, not forging your individual.” — Firm of One, Paul Jarvis
I used to chase progress like a badge of honour.
Extra purchasers. Extra income. Extra content material. Extra instruments. Extra followers. Extra, extra, extra.
It regarded spectacular on the surface — particularly to individuals who measure success by scale. However inside? It was exhausting. Unsustainable. And actually, not that enjoyable.
Now, I run a lean enterprise referred to as 4 Hour Freedom. I work 4 hours a day. I make sufficient cash to assist my household, recuperate from a stroke, and construct one thing significant. And I set strict higher limits.
Not as a result of I’m lazy.
As a result of I lastly realised progress for its personal sake isn’t the aim.

What if it’s doable to develop simply sufficient — then cease?
