45yo Wisdom: You can invent your own model of the world 

I don’t believe in bad luck symbols such as crows, black cat, the number 13, etc.

I only believe in good luck symbols.

I consider crows to be good luck, because they are everywhere in Vancouver. Why create bad vibes unnecessarily?

In fact, create good vibes deliberately! Everything that I see can be a good luck symbol! Crows, rainbows, anything.

Expanding on this: the Universe always has my back, the Universe always has a good plan for me, what’s bad right now means the good is gonna be even better, what’s hard right now means the success will be even sweeter, everything works out for me and if it hasn’t it’s not over yet.

  • 41 – Set up Richmond Office, Hired more VAs. Went on protests about vaccine mandates. Knot Theory did $1.4M USD.
  • 42 – Broke up with John. Covid ended, started playing volleyball and met volleyball fam. Started playing spikeball. John grew my net worth from $1.4M to $4.3M. Knot Theory did $1.7M USD.
  • 43 – Tried surfing for real in Costa Rica. Used grant to hire graphic designer, software developer, photographer, and engravers. Now have 4 to 5 staff and 3 VAs. My net worth $6.8M. Knot Theory did $2M USD.
  • 44 – Learned about perimenopause. Cancun for stem cell with Mom. Tried iFly. My net worth $10M. Knot Theory did $2.7M USD.

Turning 45. What do I want to accomplish next?

  1. As I get older, it seems harder to get productive time out of a day. I often feel tired or unmotivated. It most certainly has to do with perimenopause. So, first thing is to figure out how to balance and increase my hormones. I think HRT is the way to go. Including testosterone too. With balanced hormones, I’ll be more energized, productive, younger-looking, and be in a happier mood.
  2. I want to get under-brow eye lift. Maybe shorten my filtrum too. This buys me time from a face lift. I’ll do facercise to help with the rest of my face. My hope is that eventually AI robots can do better surgeries than humans, making facelifts safer and better.
  3. I want to systemize things that make me healthy and youthful with minimal time and effort, so they don’t take up so much time. I want as much time and freedom to enjoy life as possible!
  4. I want to make Knot Theory more independent so I can spend time on more fun stuff and more rewarding stuff.
  5. I want to have the capacity to figure out how to ride the next wave. This next wave is all about AI, robots, and it’s gonna be HUGE!
  6. I want to get good at iFly, spikeball, and volleyball
  7. What places do I want to travel to, and with whom?
    – For sure I want to go to the MGM Sphere in Las Vegas
    – Hug some wombats in Australia
    – Universal Studios and DisneyWorld and iFly trip to Florida
  8. I really want to have more fun flings!!
  9. Knot Theory doing $10M+ revenue, new biz doing $50M+ (fish where fish is at), my net worth at $100M+

My Brain needs vacation time from biz

I binge watch a lot of Modern Family and other shows lately.

I want to be more of a creator than a consumer.

I think my brain is feeling uninspired and unmotivated, because there are things I don’t feel like doing. And also I check my Shopify sales all day long, every few minutes, like a day trader. In part because our sales are still unstable, in part because, it’s become a habit.

I have done day trading before, when I tried to make money back from Shopify shorting. It worked, I made something like $40K in 4 days. But, I felt soul-less. I know my brain can’t do that type of stuff long term.

So to prevent burn out and to live a better quality life:

  1. I’ll only check my revenue 2 times in the morning, 3 times in the afternoon. I’ll be hard at first, but I’ll learn.
  2. I’ll dedicate at least 2 hours a day to the MIT, most important task.

What’s my MIT?

Taxes.
And ask Irene:
1) Has she filed my previous 2 years
2) When is deadline to find an accountant
3) Need to pay instalment right?


I need to remember how young, healthy, and blessed I am!!!

Older me would look to now and be like, Why the fuck are you not enjoying life to the max!!!???

LifeMaxing – spikeball, vollyeball, iFly

 


By 2029, we’ll likely have next level AI.
