Good morning! Today is March 27, 2024, a Wednesday morning. Time seems to be flying by, doesn't it? But don't worry, because today is going to be a great day. I have a lot on my plate - getting the kids to school, attending sales mastery, running some errands, a job interview, and a doctor appointment. It's a busy day, but I'm excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.
As I go about my day, I can't help but reflect on the importance of being adaptable and open to change. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and it's okay to explore new opportunities and make career changes. In fact, it's essential for personal and professional growth. So, even though I have already secured a job starting on the 15th, I continue to keep an eye out for other opportunities. It's all part of my strategy to find the perfect fit for my long-term goals.
One thing I've learned is that I am the author of my own life. I have the power to create the life I imagine, but it's important to be on the same page with the people I share my life with. Whether it's my partner, my boss, or anyone else, being aligned with them is crucial. That's why I've temporarily put my content creation on hold. I want to ensure that I'm on the same page with my partner and my boss before diving back into content creation.
When I say I don't want to write the rules, I mean that I understand the value of having people I trust to guide certain aspects of my life. For me, those people are my partner and my boss. They have the authority to make certain decisions, but ultimately, it's my responsibility to lead my own life.
People will always have opinions about how you should live your life, but it's important to remember that it's your choice. You have the freedom to make decisions that align with your values and goals. And yes, exercising your freedom of speech comes with consequences, but that shouldn't stop you from living life authentically.
My goal with the life I'm building is to lead by example and show others that their choices have consequences as well. Life is an adventure, and it's important to live it as such. I believe in transparency and being true to oneself. By doing so, we can inspire others to do the same.
The world we live in is facing numerous challenges. From economic disruptions to societal issues, it's clear that things are not as stable as they once were. Some might call me pessimistic for acknowledging the state of our society, but I believe it's crucial to take a realistic view.
Looking ahead, I see a future that involves a total collapse and rebuild of our current systems. The value of fiat money is diminishing, and inflation rates have reached unprecedented levels. This is why I approach everything I do with a long-term perspective. It's crucial to plan for the future and be prepared for whatever comes our way.
Amidst all the uncertainty, there is one thing that remains constant - the power of your brain. Your brain is your most valuable asset, and it will guide you through whatever challenges you face. It's up to you to train your brain and equip it with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the ever-changing world.
By harnessing the power of your brain, you can provide for yourself and your family, no matter what obstacles come your way. It's all about taking control of your own life and having a clear vision and direction.
Remember, life is yours to design and mold. It may not always be easy, but embracing change and taking control of your own destiny is empowering. We live in a world that is undergoing significant transformation, and it's essential to be aware and prepared.
So, as you go about your day, remember that you have the power to create the life you want. Make choices that align with your values and goals, and never be afraid to explore new opportunities. Embrace the adventure that is life, and lead by example. Train your brain, stay focused, and be ready for whatever the future holds.
Have a fantastic day, and we'll see you soon!

Good morning. Good morning.
Good morning. There's a flag. It is March 27, 2024.
It is a Wednesday morning. Time keeps flying right along. Today's gonna be a great day.
I've got getting the kids to school. We've got sales mastery this morning. Then I'm going to run some errands.
I've got a job interview for Mighty Dog roofing at 01:00 p.m.. A. Doctor appointment today at 230.
And just rocking and rolling. Getting excited about service experts. My interview today is one I had already set up.
And since I start on the 15th, I've got time. Might as well keep seeing what's out there. And the whole reason I do everything the way I do it is because I can't control anyone but me.
So with service experts, hope it works out perfect. I hope it is the perfect fit. I think it will be.
But if it's not, life will continue on, and that's the same for you, for everyone. We will all have jobs throughout life, careers throughout life. It's okay to change.
It's all right to figure it out. So, pretty excited about all that. I feel like now that I know where my long term home is or longer term home, I can start putting my plan into play.
Because at the end of the day, the hardest thing about the last two months has been getting on the same page with Emily, with the life we want to create. Because at the end of the day, you are the author of your life. You can create anything you can imagine, but you have to live with other people, and so you have to be on this.
Well, unless you don't mind getting divorced, doing it on your own, all that stuff. You got to be on the same page with those people. And that's one of the reasons why right now, my content machine is basically off.
I'm doing these videos. I post them to YouTube, my blog, X and TikTok. But besides that, I'm not repurposing them anywhere.
I'm not really doing content on any of the other platforms right now. And I'm not doing all that because I'm trying to get on the same page with Emily. Once we're on the same page, once I'm on the same page with my boss, wherever I end up working, then I can start content again.
But this is all part of working. The strategy is, again, my goal is not to write the rules. And I think a lot of people miss what that actually means.
And if you're not writing the rules, then you need people who are. And so for me, that's Emily and my boss. Those are the two people that I give control to.
And besides that, it's my life to lead. And people will always have opinions about how you lead your life, how you live, but they're not paying for it. It's not their life.
It's not their choice. And that's the entire point of a tax strategy, is knowing that no matter what the future holds, it's my choice how I deal with it. It's my choice how I move forward, the reputation I move forward with, the way I leave people feeling.
It's my choice, which is a powerful way to look at it. But it's also one of the reasons why creating content is challenging, because I try to lead with complete transparency as quickly as possible, which we all have, the first amendment, freedom of speech. But if you wield that freedom, it comes with consequences.
And my goal with the life with Justin Stevens show is to show people that there are always consequences, no matter what. It's just when do you see them? So live life as an example. That is the goal.
It's interesting, I think yesterday the Baltimore bridge collapsed due to a shipping container running into the supports. My personal opinion on it all is that that one, no matter what the cause, it is going to cause so much economic destruction and problems for years. And I think I.
I could see this being an attack. I've heard it's a cyberattack, or who knows what it is. I could see it being an attack.
It's a really unique way to cause destruction because it's so subtle. One bridge. But people don't think of the billions of dollars that are created because of the bridge right there.
Now, will they still be created? Yes. We're just going to have to go through some time readjusting it all. But all that to say, our world is crumbling around us and you have to be blind to not see it or not want to see it, which is where I think the vast majority of society doesn't want to see how bad things are right now and how bad they're going to get.
And I get it. It sucks, but it's life. It is where we are at as a society.
I've had people call me pessimistic. I'm sorry. You see, my opinion on where we are as a society, as pessimistic.
In my opinion, if you step back and look at the next two, three years, I don't see how you could see it going any other direction than the direction we're going than a total collapse. And rebuild. I just think that's where our society is.
That's what happens with fiat money. It's all disappeared. And that's why everything I do is on a long term horizon.
If you look at when the Fed was created, 1913, what's inflation been from then to now? Morning, guys. Come on, Penny. It's been nuts.
And so that is. It's just the world we live in. You like it or hate it, it just is.
And that's why I think if you want to truly become bulletproof over the next five years, train your brain. Your brain is the most powerful asset you own, and it's going to take you through all of it. My brain is going to take me through all of this.
I'm going to provide for my family, no matter what I have to do to make that happen, and my brain is the one who's going to make it happen, and that's life. So remember, you are in complete control. Life is yours to design, create and mold, but you have to have a vision for it, you have to have direction for it.
If you don't give yourself a direction, who will? And I think that's one of the biggest problems with our society today, is if you don't, who will? So it's. It's an adventure. Anyways, that's my thoughts for today.
I hope you guys have a fantastic day out there, and we'll see you all soon. Bye.
