Solid reframe on constraint-based motivation. The side job as antagonist idea is kinda genius becuase it converts resentment into leverage. I've noticed that having a specific thing to escape (vs. just chasing vague success) narrows focus in ways generic goal-setting rarely does.

“having a specific thing to escape” That’s a great way to put it.

All of this hit a little too close for comfort this morning. But in a good way. Thank you for not only hanging in there, but sharing.

I had a feeling it would be relatable to others.

Good one Dave. I feel like you’re calling me out on my own bullshit. Thank you for that. I know I could move the needle on my biz if I could commit to it more fully. But damn, I’m tired. Best of luck with the new endeavor!
