The Trail Notes

Introducing “The Trail Notes” – Newsletter

Yesterday I shared with you the thoughts that guided my last 10 years.

I wanted to find the best way to start and lead a family.

Now that I’m blessed with my lovely wife and our son – it feels real.

While I was looking back, I found that I’m always surrounding three major topics.

I call them my BFFs – because it’s Business, Faith, and Family.

I love all three and focus on them since they’re all eternal games – I can’t win or achieve them.

So all that’s left to do is to keep playing all three until the day I die.

This is where you come in.

You are a brother to me on this road.

The journey ahead is one where we will walk together.

You’re probably a man, married with kids, looking to become the leader and Present Provider your family needs.

We have many things to learn.

In this Newsletter, you will get the notes of my journey.

Since it’s an email, you are invited to see the email as an invitation to chat.

You can answer to my thoughts, lessons, tips, and trials.

I’d love for us to share the journey.

We will mostly discuss business and family.

There are so many stories ahead.

I’m excited for you to join me on the road ahead.

To really keep the Newsletter personal – I’m actually writing it in my newsletter journal with a fountain pen.

Here is a picture of proof:

So that you see it’s a personal letter from me to you, sharing the notes from my trail to become the best Present Provider for my family – and helping you become the best Present Provider for your family, too!

Let’s grow together, my brother!

  • You Could Doesn’t Mean You Should

    Recently, I had another good idea. I always love coming up with new ideas. They feel so nice at first. It’s fun thinking of the simple first steps. It is tempting to jump on that new opportunity right away. You are in a full rush — because you just discovered another gold mine. But the reality is this:Just because you could follow that new idea does not mean you should. In the beginning, there aren’t big charges. But over time, business keeps growing, those charges become more expensive. I…

  • What “passive income” misses entirely

    We have so many conversations about passive income. It seems to be the holy grail for some with an online business. A high passive MRR (monthly recurring revenue) is the dream to have all freedom. You can do whatever you want to do. Yet there is an issue with it on two ends. First: there is no passive work.Second: we are made to work. In order to make money — we actually need to do something that offers help to somebody. We don’t make money — we earn it for value exchanged. Anything else…

  • Success comes through Sacrifice

    Hey Reader, Everything in life comes with a price tag. Not always do they have a $ (Dollar Sign) with them. Some are also connected to the cost of time. Some are decisions, either for or against. You can do many things, but you won’t be able to succeed in all. You do have many opportunities, but not the time to try them all. There is a correlation that I started to notice. The older I get, the more obvious it becomes. Every big victory comes with a price. There is no success without…

  • Quality vs. Quantity is a lie.

    Hey Reader, You’ve probably heard this before.The endless debate of Quality vs. Quantity.It’s all over the internet. The debate is that you have to choose between either or — like they are on the same coin, and you can only pick one side.This is an issue I’ve had for years. The general advice is to focus on Quality over Quantity, like Quality is more important.Yet the reality is: You can only get Quality through repetition. Repetition means Quantity.Meaning: you need to do Quantity before you…

  • Work for Respect, Not Status

    There is a massive difference between respect and status. There’s this good ol’ book — Rich Dad, Poor Dad.It was one of my first books I read about business. It introduced me to the idea that: There is a difference between rich and poor that goes beyond money. Over the years, this idea has become more and more nuanced. There are “rich” people that don’t have money,and there are “poor” people that have money. When I started out, I thought: Status = Success = the Wealth Generated. But I learned…

  • In Business the winner is always the tortoise

    Most people start their business as the hare.Sprinting through the tasks. I did that too — thinking the amount of work is what makes the difference. So I tried to become more efficient. I hustled all I could. The interesting twist is:The tortoise will win. That is also true in business. Business is not a sprint. It’s a life-long marathon. There is no shortcut, because it ends when we’re dead. Success will happen when you do the right things at the right time. That’s the foundation side most…
