I can’t believe it’s almost time:
The 2023 Deep Game Retreat begins in less than 10 days (!)
And since I’ll be deep in prep-mode next week, I’ve decided to close our retreat recordings package at 11:59 pm EST this Sunday.
(that way I can take care of everyone who grabs them before I head off to the retreat)
So if you’d still like to grab the recordings, be sure to do it soon before we close up shop.
And, along those lines…
Let’s run through a few more of my favorite teaching points from last year’s retreat — rapid-fire style:
– What would you do for free for the rest of your life, if you never got paid to do it? Find that thing, and then figure out how to get paid for doing it.
– Doing what you love doesn’t guarantee the money will follow, but it does give you a much better chance at becoming truly great at it, which opens up far greater financial opportunities.
– If you don’t know your life purpose yet, follow your curiosity. Cast a wide net and explore all of the options you feel drawn to.
– Finding the wrong path is part of finding the right path. Figuring out what you don’t want to do is part of figuring out what you want to do. So again — explore 🙂
– You can create enormous long-term wealth by consistently following simple financial habits over the long-term.
– Here’s one of those habits: Live off of 70% of your income. The remaining 30% is spread evenly into separate accounts for savings, investing, and giving/donating. Allow the savings and investing accounts to grow over time.
– Emotions are fundamentally just energy + information (ie. intelligence). So repressing and avoiding your emotions means blocking the flow of intelligence. Your feelings are trying to tell you something; listen.
– Allow natural separation to occur within relationships. Spending every moment together is a quick way to make your connection go stale. Every inhale needs an exhale; allow the relationship to breathe.
– Choose a partner who also chooses you. Instead of convincing them to be with you, find the person who doesn’t need convincing.
– Falling in love means giving someone the power to hurt you. Vulnerability isn’t optional, it’s the pre-requisite.
– You have every right to dream up the greatest life you can possibly imagine, and work towards creating it. Because why on earth wouldn’t you?
Okay, I think we’ll break there for today.
As I said last time, hundreds (and hundreds) of these little moments emerged during last year’s retreat.
