If you Will it, it is no Dream

What are we really talking about when we talk money?

Business? Startups? Entrepreneurship?

There are no right or wrong answers...I don't want to even put ideas in your mind, I really want you to think on it. It's about a lot more than securing the bag though, that much should be clear by now.

You know what, just kidding, it's my bar-mitzvah anniversary weekend (and I'm not saying what number) so you're getting it bar-mitzvah speech style...

Thank you for coming to my newsletter. It's a hot summer weekend, (like, mamesh record-breaking) and you could've been anywhere in the world but you're here with me. So here's some hot takes, ba-dum-dum...

webster's dictionary defines legacy as...

it's about what we can achieve, what we can create what we can leave behind.

it's the things that gets carried over, the things that don't fade away

it's the actions taken to take control, the decision to leverage the skills, experience, knowledge, and ability accrued into something bigger, bolder, better

it's the right to choose among all options, coming to a fork in the road and betting on yourself, trusting your own greatness and building something you, your family, your community and the world will recognize and celebrate.

There's many questions and factors to consider on this path, here's just a few:

There are risks of course. But much like Pinchas we need to b zealous in our pursuits of whatever we are trying to create and build. Be like Stephanie, or my brother Avi, who both moved cross-country to pursue growth and tremendous opportunity. There are plenty of examples, and models and templates to emulate.

Who are yours? And what are we talking about when we talk about money, and legacy?

I don't think it's about money at all.

K, barmi speech over.

Seriously though, it's fucking hot so be careful out there...maybe we should do something - and maybe the biggest problem is also the biggest opportunity to problem-solve ;)

Highlight from newsletter and I agree with 💯 "[Entrepreneurship] is about what we can achieve, what we can create what we can leave behind." Indeed, problem solve an age old process to make it better is why entrepreneurs innovate. I keep thinking about how to solve service people's workwear challenge. Glad I visited my client this morning.
