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

August 2023.I volunteer for an impromptu speech at a Toastmasters event. A few hours earlier I’d given my first paid talk and was still riding the high. The host asks me a question. I begin speaking, but notice someone in the crowd with a stern expression. Suddenly my mind goes blank. Nothing. For almost a minute I stand there frozen, words gone, a deer in headlights. I somehow finish and sit down. That moment haunted me for months. Every time I thought about speaking again, the same images...

The single biggest mistake I made when trying to build my dream life:𝗔𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.Asking advice from people who weren’t living the life I wanted to live.As a result:I got advice based on their reality.Based on their limiting beliefs.Based on their fears.And despite them having the best intentions, it made my dreams feel impossible.It made my dreams feel out of reach.Because the people you ask for advice will shape your reality.They’ll influence your thinking.They’ll...

Exhaustion isn’t weakness.It's a message.Your mind can ignore it.Your calendar can override it. But your body will always tell the truth. At first it whispers: fatigue, tension, headaches.Then it gets louder: insomnia, burnout, illness. And if you still don’t listen, it will scream. Because your body doesn’t care about your deadlines. It doesn’t care about your image.It doesn’t care about who you think you need to be. It cares about survival. For Sensitive High Achievers, this is the hardest...
