Happy Independence Day… (Sorry Brits)

It’s the 4th of July and while all my American friends are celebrating, all my British friends are probably moping around and feeling pretty sorry for themselves about the whole thing.

Us breaking off, moving on, and then coming back and saving them from that whole impending German invasion thing a while back.

Anyway, I’m also celebrating something else this week as well.

I broke things off with an old business partner. Things ended amicably, much like the American Revolution if I remember correctly.

No really… things did end amicably, I promise.

You see, a couple years ago I shook hands on a business deal with a buddy of mine whom I both love and respect. He’s good at what he does, he shows up every day, delivers value, all that type of stuff. But over the past few years, the business didn’t really go anywhere, and it just sort of floated.

I think the bottom line is, neither of us really ever got that excited about making it happen.

And I was listening to one of Alex Hormozi’s podcasts recently, and before he built his gym launch empire, he was living in a season of life that was sounding a lot like mine.

He had six gyms. Two with one partner. Three with another. One on his own. Plus an agency doing marketing for dental and chiropractic offices. And more. All of it was kind of working, but none of it was really working.

Then he got a DUI, totaled his car, and had basically no money to his name.

Okay, my situation is not nearly that extreme.

But the “too many different things” concept really struck a chord with me.

Anyway, he said in hindsight it was all those unmade decisions in his life that were leading him into ruin. All those businesses he hadn’t officially committed to or officially let go of were draining him. And after that car accident, he took his wife Leila’s advice, and just went all in on one thing.

Twelve months later he did $3 million in profit.

I’m not saying you, or me, and anyone here needs to go all in on making $3 million in profit next year. But I am saying, you, me, and everyone here probably has a few unmade decisions in their life. Decisions that, if were finally made, would pave the way to things becoming a whole lot easier.

Which is exactly what that business partnership was for me.

An unmade decision.

It was “kind of working”, which is the worst kind of working because it’s working just enough to justify keeping it around, but not enough to pour everything into. So there it sits, taking up mental and emotional space. Preventing you from moving forward in your life.

So now it’s done.

I’ve cleared the lane, and I’m celebrating.

So what’s that unmade decision you’ve got laying around waiting to be made?
