Benjamin Jacques (Bliss & Business)

That which weighs you down is an enemy that needs its throat slit. Most people keep an assassin that wants them dead on the couch beside them. Fake pleasantries. “It’s not that bad.” Your soul is corroding. Kill and pivot… 🎨 "Demonic"

Really wish I saw it long ago... The more you optimize... ...the more you think you need to optimize. You stack more externals you "need". Each trains you that YOU are unworthy of performing ALONE. Dangerous trap. Avoid. 🔪 🎨 "Darkness Overwhelms"

You gotta study AI from the kids who are in the apps all day. If you’re learning AI from an internet marketer who is teaching to stay relevant… …they’re still using Chat GPT and excited about things those kids got bored with a year ago. Dangerous 📸 SD botanical park

You can't go another year... ...trying to optimize every little thing... ...NOT going all in on being YOU... ...and not going all in on YOUR LIFE'S WORK. This year will be like all the others if you ignore these. Easier to live congruent 🤘 📸 NC Nights

Average person eats 17 teaspoons of sugar a day. Train it to be cool with things like orange juice, dates, coconut, fruit, honey etc. Get back to the way nature intended. 📸 Singapore slings don't count

Let go of all that which is not YOU. Too many things we're always told to add ON. Things we want to shed we're told we NEED. But a voice inside that tells you the truth. Don't drown it out in so many audiobook that you can't hear it anymore 🤘 📸 End of day in FL

2 paths side by side. 1 nurtures business. 1 nurtures you. Veer too far on business one… …you end up stressed. Veer too far on self-nurture one… …you end up poor. Stay on both paths at the same time. Recipe for consistent results. 📸 Prague bridge at night

Nobody is coming to save you. You must save yourself. 💯 📸 Prague architecture

MOST are thinking: "How can I use AI to not have to talk to people?" The move is: "How can I use AI to build GIFTS?" Whether for current customers... ...or new people you want to connect with... ...everyone loves a gift. 🎁 AI prints em... 📸 Icelandic stone

You have to do work that can earn forever. We all face the "This sucks. It's taking forever. Oh it's...done." Why do fly by night stuff vs. building assets ONCE that can make you money over and over? Build things NOW that can earn for you in 10 years. 📸 Hawaii balcony

"I suck but I STARTED." > "I'll start SOON." 📸 Old Prague work station

Sometimes, whether you like it or not… Business can be “Kill the bee to save the hive.” Don’t be that bee… 🐝 🎨 Eye study digital painting from College

You'd do better to just HAVE a "Bad Habit"... ...than to tell yourself "I'll never do this again" and then do it again. Bad habits weaken the body, bank, mind, etc. But losing TRUST in YOURSELF? That weakens the SOUL Careful with that one... 📸 Prague mushroom lamps

Overthinking is the root of all evil 🔪 ACT. 🎨 "Butterfly" (One of my first digital paintings)

You are not "wasting time" because you're sitting there pouring your heart out to AI telling it all about your brand and "feeding" it as much as possible. Feed it well and AI can know YOUR brand better than YOU do (on some levels). 🤘 📸 Secret window in San Diego

You have to make money so you don't think about lack anymore. What else would your brain be cooking up if it wasn't focused on survival and had passive(ish) income and could CREATE? Work hard to find out what that's like. Will always be worth the work. 📸 The Bali Villa

You’re allowed to say “Fuck this it’s killing my soul” and bounce. You get a new problem when you bounce. But your soul springs to life again. It’s your soul that’ll help you tear through that new problem like a rabid dog. Be free. Most aren’t. 🤘 🎨 "The Choice"
