Hi reader,

My favorite question to ask my coaching clients:

Looking back 5 years from now, is what you’re doing today sustainable?

The answer is often “No”.

But the important part isn’t the answer, but what the question makes you consider.

Flying by the seat of your pants only works so far until your belt buckles rip 🫳🏽

Now you can refer friends to jobs and get paid for it

Companies offer referral bonuses for new hires, but only to their employees - not you.

But what if you know the perfect candidate?

Enter Draftboard, a platform where companies make those bonuses public and claimable by anyone. Draftboard gives you a simple and seamless way to share job opportunities from the best companies in the world (SeatGeek, Via, Formlabs, Bilt, Triple Whale, OneSginal, etc.) with your network - and you get paid when they get hired.

How Draftboard Works:

  • Simple Sharing: Copy your unique referral link and send via text message, email, or social media - however you want.

  • Wide Range of Companies: Access job postings from top-tier companies across various industries - over 80 companies listing roles.

  • Real-time Tracking: Monitor the progress of your referrals in real-time as they move through the recruiting process.

Why You Should Join Draftboard: Earn extra income with no experience needed on an easy-to-use platform for sharing and tracking candidate referrals.

We often don’t implement systems early because we’re just trying to survive.

We also don’t implement systems early because we’re not sure if we’re going to make it.

But if we don’t have a system, then we definitely don’t have metrics to recognize when we do “make it”.

I thought it was my first book, but then didn’t feel it, so it would be my first best-seller, but then didn’t feel it, and so on.

Waiting to slow down enough to make a system is nothing but elegant procrastination.

In fact, planning a long-term strategy may help you get out of the survival mentality faster.

It may mean officially bookkeeping your business.

It may mean getting a DBA.

It may mean creating business projections based on past performance.

Consider working on the business of your business before hustling to do the next social media post, networking event, or artistic goal.

With every seed you plant, you give your 2029 self more room to grow.

And setting up for your future business means you actually believe you will have one 🔮

How are you planting the seed for tomorrow’s success?

On BringYourWorth.tv Live, we’re sharing the tools to strategize your business, talking the road blocks to your vision, and showing how doing less can actually build a better future.

As you’ve seen in recent BringYourWorth.tv episodes, my office has been stacked with books lately! Shortform is one of my favorite companions for understanding books quickly and remembering the highlights from classics I may have forgotten. The service goes well beyond summaries, giving serious breakdowns, analysis, arguments, and even overarching themes connecting a book to other pieces of literature. It also showcases material related to your favorite book, like popular podcasts, articles and more. Shortform is a great way to sample new books you’re curious about or to go deeper on ones you already know super well.
