Implementing consistency and your ability to execute something consistently is your friend. This episode emphasizes how I started journaling in the morning focused on 4 questions:
- What/who do I appreciate?
- What challenge or idea do I need to work through
- What am I excited about
- What did I accomplish yesterday
Check out how I take one thing - and consistently work on it over 30, ideally 60 days to improve myself on my goals at work, my health and in life.

Chris highlights wisdom being associated with experience by people. There are too many opinions about “Wisdom” but it doesn’t necessarily mean it has to come from your experience. Chris shared how a previous High Tech Freedom guest surrounded himself with more senior talent when he was just getting started. “Life time learners are lifetime earners”. You should always be learning and reach out to wise people which will accelerate your professional development, you personal development will benefit. Aside from all these, you also need to enjoy life in general.
