“When you have no choice but to become greater, you do.”
First thing’s first:
An enormous, standing welcome to everyone who joined The Path before the doors closed last night.
Mark my words:
This is going to be special.
Second thing’s second:
For those who weren’t able to join The Path, I want to share one of my new favorite areas of the platform:
The Insight Log
This is where our group shares quick-hitting insights, quotes, and thoughts throughout the day — and it is rapidly becoming a goldmine.
Here’s a few of my favorites from last week:
What works can’t be stupid.
Shared by Adan Maldonado
“By definition, what works cannot be irrational; about every single person I know who has chronically failed in business shares that mental block, the failure to realize that if something stupid works (and makes money), it cannot be stupid.” – Nassim Taleb
Removing Filler Words
Shared by Jackson Kasko
Eliminating “like” “um” “uh” etc… creates much greater clarity and flow in conversation, which I’ve found can ease tension and bring forth more authentic responses from you and from others.
Small, but powerful 🙂
Think For Yourself
Shared by Briand Leda
“Immaturity is the inability to use one’s intelligence without the guidance of another .” – Immanuel Kant
What would you tomorrow want you today to do?

“Somewhere in the future, your older self is watching you through memories. Whether it’s with regret or nostalgia depends on what you do now.” — Gurwinder Bhogal
Malin’s Insights
Shared by Malin Atkins
“Don’t expect it to get easier, become stronger so you can better deal with it.”
“Focus on whatever is next in front of you.”
“Warriors fear surrender… They will struggle to conquer. But love is not about conquest… A man can only find love when he surrenders to it.”
Notes From A Coaching Call
Shared by me, via. coaching call w/ teacher
“Your disturbance about the problem is not helping you solve the problem.”
“Most people spend their lives fixated on questions [how to get money, sex, status, pleasure, etc] that just aren’t very deep.”
“How do you take sh*tty things and make them good? Stop seeing them as sh*tty.”
Simon’s Insights
Shared by Simon Bitan
“When you have no choice but to become greater, you do.” – Taylor Allan
“The human mind is notoriously skilled at seeing what it wants to see rather than what is actually there.” – Taylor Allan
“Fear isn’t robbing you of energy; it is energy.” – Taylor Allan
“No struggle means no strength.” – Simon’s personal notes
Degree of Difficulty Doesn’t Count
Shared by Adan Maldonado
“Remember something important about business:
The degree of difficulty doesn’t count.
We’re not doing an Olympic gymnastics routine. There aren’t more points for accomplishing something really hard.
In business, you can get paid really well for doing easy things over and over again, but you can also get paid zero for doing certain hard things really well.
Business isn’t a David Goggins ultra-endurance workout.“ – Nick Huber
That last one might be my favorite.
Anyway, just a few of the insights that have been shared by Path members over the past week.
I can’t wait to see the goldmine we’ve created a few months from now.
Like I said:
Special.
To those inside, thank you for helping make The Path the best damn community in the development game.
And to those not inside yet, I hope to see you in there one day soon.

P.S. One more from OG Path member Adan Maldonado…

“This is Flow with a capital mthfxcking F. This flow doesn’t mean hitting 6 threes in a row, it means being in the zone for 3 decades and not missing a fxcking shot” – Taylor Allan
I must have been on one:
I have no idea when or where I said this, or even what I was trying to say.
But hey, sounds cool as hell to me.
P.P.S. In case you missed it…
