i joined a billionaire's club



Here’s a question for you:

Would you accept $1 billion to trade lives with Warren Buffett?

You could have all the money in the world… but you’d also be 94 years old.

My guess is probably NO.

However, I’m pretty sure Warren Buffett wouldn’t hesitate for a second to give you all of his money to trade lives with you right now.

He would gladly pay billions to be your age again.

And given that the value of something is determined by what someone else is willing to pay for it…

That would technically make you a Time Billionaire.

Welcome to the club ;)

Your time is your most precious asset.

It’s a resource you can never buy back.

But how much of it do you waste?

  • Scrolling endlessly on social media?
  • Distracting yourself with things that don’t matter?
  • Comparing yourself to others?
  • Worrying about opinions of people who wouldn’t even show up for you in a crisis?

If Warren Buffett had your time, you can bet he wouldn’t be wasting it like that.

So here’s my Challenge for you:

For the next 24 hours, become hyper-aware of where your time goes.

  • Notice how often you reach for your phone.
  • Pay attention to how much time you spend in your head, worrying instead of doing.
  • Catch yourself when you say “I don’t have time” for the things that actually matter.

Because you do have time.

In fact, you’re a time billionaire.

Time to use it wisely and make it count.

Much love,
Alex

But here’s what came with me: -The guilt I feel when I rest -The shame that creeps in when I say no -The overthinking after delivering a workshop -The urge to prove myself through productivity -The tension that never lets me slow down -The fear that if I stop, it’ll all fall apart These things didn’t disappear just because I changed countries. They don’t disappear when you change jobs, cities or relationship status either. But here’s what did change: How I relate to them. I’m no longer at war...

But no one sees what it’s costing you.On the outside, you’re doing great:You’re driven. Self-aware.Always thinking three steps ahead....but no matter what you do there’s still that sense that something’s missing.You’re craving more meaning.More alignment. More authenticity.And even though you're sensitive and feel so much…you don’t always know how to express it.You don’t like crying.You avoid getting angry.And sometimes feel shame around having emotions.So instead you stay composed.Try to...

Here’s what I learnt:First lesson:Don’t believe everything you hear.Of course I didn’t eat pizza every day for 365 days.Why? Because I LOVE pizza.The reason I love it so much is because of the days where I don’t get to eat pizza.If I ate it every day it would lose its value. Same goes for happiness.If you felt it all the time, it wouldn’t feel like happiness anymore.It would just feel… normal.Joy needs contrast.Peace needs chaos.And happiness needs sadness/fear/anger to mean anything at...
