Turning 45. What do I want to accomplish next?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- I want to make Knot Theory more independent so I can spend time on more fun stuff and more rewarding stuff.
- 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!
- I want to get good at iFly, spikeball, and volleyball
- 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 - I really want to have more fun flings!!
- Knot Theory doing $10M+ revenue, new biz doing $50M+ (fish where fish is at), my net worth at $100M+
