I turned 35 yesterday. Here's the one mistake I made all through my 20s that I refuse to repeat in my 30s. I used to make every decision on a one-year clock. Sometimes a one-month clock. Get there now. Get rich quick. Hit the number, then chase the next one. And I was miserable doing it, even when it was working. Now I make decisions on a ten-year clock. And it changed everything. Here's what happens when you're only focused on the goal: Every challenge feels like a verdict. Things don't move as fast as you wanted, so you spiral. Depressed. Unmotivated. A dark hole, not because anything is actually wrong, but because it isn't happening on your schedule. You rush decisions you should have slept on. You take bad deals out of FOMO. You end up misaligned, misguided, exhausted. I've watched very successful entrepreneurs live exactly like this. When you think in ten years, everything shifts. You stop rushing, because you understand what you're building is valuable and deserves time. You make better decisions because you're not making them out of panic. You stay aligned because you're not chasing a number for no reason. And challenges stop feeling like the end of the world, because on a ten-year map they're just Tuesday. You know you'll get there. So you finally get to enjoy the getting there. Same ambition. Different clock. Play the long game, and the journey stops being the price you pay for the goal, and starts being the point. Let's go. 🖤 What clock are you making decisions on? 👇
