How I turned my “why” into a life that fits me
|
My business didn’t come from a big idea. It came from a quiet realization: I loved my job as an Online Marketing Manager but deep down I didn’t want to live on someone else’s schedule. My boss did me a favor and laid me off. At this stage of life, I didn’t want to chase clients. I definitely didn’t want to “retire” and lose the part of me that still had something to give. But I didn’t know what was next. I just knew this stage of my life was done. So I asked myself the same questions I shared with you in the “Find Your Why” guide: ✔ What actually lights me up? ✔ What have people always come to me for? ✔ What do I want this next chapter to mean? Slowly, a different kind of business started to take shape. ✔ A business built around my values, not just my skills ✔ A rhythm of work that left room for grandkids, golf, and deep conversations ✔ Offers that came from who I am, not who I used to be in my career. It wasn’t instant. It wasn’t perfect. But it finally felt like me. And that’s when everything changed. Next week, I’ll walk you through how to create your own version of this using what I call the Encore Life Blueprint. It’s the exact process I used to design a business and lifestyle that gives me purpose and peace. You don’t have to burn everything down. You just have to get honest about what you really want and build around that. Have a great weekend. Ted P.S. If this resonates with you and you want to chat, hit REPLY or DM me and we’ll talk. |

What if everything you believe about yourself… isn’t actually you? That’s the bold premise Dr. Srikumar Rao opens with in Modern Wisdom, Ancient Roots, our July Mastermind Book Club pick. This book is different. It’s not just another mindset or productivity manual. Rao challenges us to zoom out from the daily noise in our heads, the self-talk, the labels, the roles we play and see through to something deeper. If you’ve ever felt a quiet sense of “something’s off” If you’ve hit success...
I spent this weekend watching The Bear season four, and it reminded me of something my grandfather would never have imagined when he arrived from Greece in the 1920s. Picture this: A young Greek immigrant with nothing but determination, deciding to open a restaurant in America. Did he know anything about running one? Not a clue. But what else would a Greek do? What made our family restaurant different wasn't just the food. It was the philosophy. Every morning we baked fresh bread, made pies...
I’ve done a lot of personal and professional growth work over the years. I was a massive consumer of personal development programs from Nightingale Conant. At one point, my wife Ellen asked me "Aren't you fixed yet?" Nothing from Nightingale Conant has rewired me like Zenith Mind OS. Before this, I was still running on patterns that held me back: overpreparing, overthinking, playing small. Now? I’m aware when those habits show up and I have the tools to move through them. I’m more aligned....
