Hi {{ first name | reader }},
What’s that one thing that, if it changed, would make everything better?
That thorn in your side keeping you up at night?
The fix that would fix it all?
I feel like the more ambitious we are, the more we see the spots of improvement
And I’m an ambitious guy.
The lesson is that life keeps moving even as we wait on the solution
So if we sit on the sidelines because things aren’t perfect
We end up missing the experience of things that are
And that is, of course, most of the time.
But one simple thing has helped me stay present
Even when the missing piece is especially irritating.
*More below after a word from Bankrate 👇🏾
A HYSA or a High Yield Savings Account allows you to get many times more interest on the money you’ve got over the average bank or credit union savings. If you’re an independent creator, freelancer, or entrepreneur like me, then you know our money often comes in lump sums, like we could get a book deal advance and have to live on it for like a year! So it is super important we put our short-term money in an accessible place where it can compound. I’ve recently gotten more focused on my finances, learned about HYSAs, and got a couple accounts.
To choose the best ones for me, I first asked my mentors and loved ones. Then I went to Bankrate, the folks supporting this show. They have an up to date list of all the reputable HYSAs with pros and cons, FDIC or similar insurance backings, and the current rate. It was simple to see which HYSA fit me best - and it is all free.

I talk about the moment in my book The Ultimate Bite Sized Entrepreneur
(Also in the new Complete Bring Your Worth Collection)
Spirituality teacher Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith asks this question:
“If this experience were to last forever,
what quality would have to emerge for me to have peace of mind?”
Certain things are forever, chronic in nature.
That just is.
Other things are moments, seasons of our life.
They are temporary.
And the temporary stuff
I’ve found it lingers
When I haven’t honored its full experience.
My recent housing issues helped me appreciate home
My breakups showed me how sweet it is to have someone know you
My uncomfortable moments help me grow in ways I absolutely wouldn’t have otherwise.
And, at least for me, recognition helps the chains feel a little looser
Even if the season hasn’t changed just yet 🍂
