The golden ticket. Unlock this superpower.

Hey brother,

I stumbled upon a daily ritual a few years ago.

Some have called it a golden ticket for dads.

I'm talking about the "Daily Checkin".

I know you’ve been there before, feeling like the days are just spiraling, sometimes out of control.

I’ve felt that mounting pressure, the kind that sits heavily on your shoulders, pushing you down.

But a few years back, a buddy shared a way to turn things around.

You see, most everyone in this world lives a life of mindlessly reacting and responding to whatever life throws their way. They play defense instead of offense and most times, they dont even realize they’re doing it.

That was the story of my life at least.

How did it turn around?

The theme you’ll realize as we get to know each other is that the ideas I share with you are so damn simple. But, its the simple things that most people over look.

When we master the mundane, we can become the master of our own life.

“The body should be treated rigorously, that it may not be disobedient to the mind.” Seneca

What does this mean?

Our mind is a muscle. And you need to take your mind to the gym every day by thinking and planning and being intentional.

So, whats the golden ticket?

What did my buddy share that was so simple yet so profound?

Its one phrase.

“Questions are the key to life”

And over time I’ve adjusted this to

“Question based frameworks are the key to life”

I am telling you right now, this is THE super power in life.

Once you learn it, you cannot unlearn it.

Not only that, you’ll start paying attention to all the people that do not use it(almost everyone).

So, what are question based frameworks?

Let’s start with the framework for the daily checkin.

It’s called the KISS framework.

And it stands for Keep. Improve. Stop. Start.

Everyday, you ask yourself these 4 questions.

And write them down. Every single day.

Keep

What am I doing well that I need to keep doing as the leader of my family in order to achieve our vision/goals?

Improve

What am I already doing that could be improved to make us an even better team?

Stop

What do I need to stop doing – either because it no longer contributes to the overall family vision or is no longer effective?

Start

What do I need to start doing that I haven’t been doing that will bring us closer to the family vision/goals?

I am telling you right now as I shake my computer to get this point across to you.

This is a SUPERPOWER.

99.99% of families do not question their actions and that is why they stay in the situation they’re in.

You do this one daily exercise for 90 days and it is physically impossible for your life to stay the same.

These frameworks rewire your mind.

Reply to this email and tell me that you’re going to give this a shot. Also, share your frameworks with me.

Let's step up our game.
