What Most People Will Miss This February

4 Thoughts to Reflect On

1. The right room collapses time.
   Years of trial and error get shortened into a few conversations.

2. Online connection is helpful. In-person connection is decisive.
   You don’t build real trust through a screen.

3. Serious people move faster together.
   Decisions get cleaner when everyone understands the stakes.

4. Networks are not optional at higher levels.
   They are the game.

4 Lessons I’ve Learned

1. Most opportunities don’t announce themselves publicly.
   They move quietly through relationships.

2. Being around winners resets your baseline.
   What once felt impossible becomes normal.

3. Families matter more than business titles.
   When values align, partnerships last longer.

4. Momentum compounds when you stay connected.
   That’s why the best operators don’t isolate.

4 Challenges for You TODAY

1. Look at your calendar and ask who you are learning from this quarter.
   If it’s no one, that’s a problem.

2. Write down the last deal or opportunity that came from a relationship.
   That’s not luck. That’s proximity.

3. Decide where you need to show up more in person this year.
   Not everywhere. Just the right places.

4. If you want access to rooms where real operators connect with their families and build long-term relationships, explore what we’re doing inside the DM Alliance.
   That’s where Nashville starts.

Quote of the Day

“Your network is your net worth.” — Porter Gale

You don’t need more motivation.
You need better proximity.

The right room makes that obvious fast.
