Would you take the million?
I wouldn't

Achieve Everything you Want by Winning the Week
In Today’s Issue…
Inspiration from Jim Rohn 🧑🤝🧑
A story on being offered a £ million 💸
Welcome!
‘You are the average of the five people you hang around with most’
Wise words from the legend that is Jim Rohn.
Wise and absolutely true words.
And I experienced it this weekend.
So lets dig in 😉
Would you take the million? 💰️
I’ve had a really special last couple of days exploring Porto in Portugal with friends. 🇵🇹
Porto is the home of all things port, cheese, sardines and the most delicious Alvarinho whites 🤌 🍷
We arranged a sunset boat trip for the Friday night (who doesn’t love a boat day) and the 6 of us watched the sun go down while we chatted about all the usual stuff, life and our plans for the rest of the year.

In the middle of a conversation about our upcoming plans, Joe posed us with this question:
‘If somebody said to you that you could have a million pounds now BUT the next time you went to sleep, you wouldn’t wake up again, would you take it?
Obviously nobody would.
So why do people spend their time like it’s infinite? Because it’s clearly worth much much more that accepting a million now’
A question I also realised wouldn’t come up with everyone I hang around with - thanks Jim 😅
It was a bit of a conversation stopper. One that makes you think.
We can all be guilty of not taking this seriously.
Not doing the thing you really want to do.
Not enjoying the moment right now.
Spending time with people you don’t really want to
Doing tasks you don’t enjoy.
If we we’re really conscious each morning about how precious our time is - so many of us would spend it differently.
And I want to help change that.
Most of us act and do out of habit. Like we’re going to live forever.
If you made your prime focus enjoying each day and week like it’s finite and won’t last forever - what impact would that have?
How would you plan your days differently? Where would your focus be?
It’s the kind of question I think everyone should properly take time to think about. Asking the right questions will have the biggest changes in the quality of your weeks and making them meaningful.
So today - just take ten minutes to think about it as you plan and head into Monday.
What if this week was the one where each day you ended it having gotten great stuff done and enjoyed your efforts? 😘
Free Stuff! 🆓

Are you looking forward to this week?
