Resources We Recommend

Only a couple days left to invest in this smart home startup.

The ball-park isn’t the only place to look for home runs. Best Buy has a proven record of placing early bets on home-tech products that go on to dominate the market.

  • Ring - acquired by Amazon for $1.2B

  • Nest - acquired by Google for $3.2B

Early investors in these companies are sitting on some serious returns - but for the rest of us, there's still a chance to get in on the action with RYSE.

History tends to repeat itself, and RYSE's launch in +100 Best Buys points towards their company being the next home run.

Their Smart Shade tech is poised to dominate an industry growing at 50% annually, and there's still time to invest in their $1.50/share public offering.

The Uncomfortable Truth About Job Search

Hey there, job seekers! Today, I want to share something with my newsletter followers that I've been meaning to talk about for a while. It's an uncomfortable truth, but one that I believe could be the key to unlocking your career success.

The Discomfort Keeping You Stuck 🔒

Eight out of 10 working people right now are in what I call "unproductive discomfort." You're unhappy with your current work situation—whether unemployed and struggling in your job search, or employed but burned out and hating your job. This discomfort plagues your mind daily, impacting your life, but you spend more time dwelling on it than actually taking steps to fix it.

Unproductive discomfort is toxic. It keeps you stuck, spiraling in negativity instead of making progress. You've likely tried quick fixes that didn't work, leaving you more frustrated. That's the problem with unproductive discomfort—it drives you to seek short-term relief rather than lasting solutions.

The Temporary Discomfort That Leads to Results 💯

But there's a better way, my friends. It starts by trading your unproductive discomfort for temporary “productive discomfort." This means putting in just 15 focused minutes per day to upgrade your skills, improve your attitude, and free yourself from the limiting beliefs holding you back.

I know, I know...more discomfort? Who wants that? But stick with me—this discomfort is productive and temporary. It's an investment in yourself that will pay exponential dividends.

By consistently putting in those 15 minutes per day, you'll start chipping away at the problems keeping you stuck. You'll gain new skills, develop a more positive mindset, and overcome self-limiting beliefs. With each small win, your attitude will soar, propelling you into even bigger breakthroughs.

The Two Types of People ✌️

Out of those eight people trapped in unproductive discomfort, only two will muster the courage to embrace temporary productive discomfort. Which one will you be?

The other six will keep making excuses, staying stuck in familiar misery because facing productive discomfort seems too hard. But for those willing to get uncomfortable for a short while, the floodgates will open. You'll finally make the progress you've been craving.
