I’m a fucking marshmallow.
What is bro waffling about?
waffles and donuts
I can’t believe it’s already July 20th, lol.
There’s really worlds within worlds and I sometimes have to… choose the one.
Can’t be in both. Can’t have 1 foot in both of them.
I might get torn in half. Lmao.
Whatever.
I do whatever I have to do to grow and reach the next stages of evolution.
I don’t look back or try to hold on. I’m just on go mode. If I’m not, then I risk getting in my own way.
I can’t do that because I know what I want.
Sometimes you have to make a trade.
Sometimes you have to make the choice.
Certain people are not doing certain things. They’re too incompatible.
To get to where those certain people are… you’ll also become incompatible with doing those things.
Growth. You’ve got to love growth.
Lmao.
Story of my life…

new business partner pls
This past week has been so hectic and chaotic.
For a while now, I’ve been running changes by my business partner. Bringing him new things that we need to implement. I’ve been running subs that make me super ambitious and channeling it. I’m really aiming to reach my wealth goals as soon as possible.
My business partner is being incredibly stubborn.
We are like a clash between ambition/risk and complacency/stagnation.
I don’t even consider my propositions to be risky because they’re well thought out. He just refuses to understand my vision. Throughout our time together we’ve always had good chemistry but when it comes to anything “destabilizing”, it’s like his brain shuts off and he doesn’t want to hear it.
My business partner is the definition of complacency. It’s like yeah we have a stable business by why not take it a step further and explore the potential. Meanwhile, he just comes up with a bunch of excuses as to why we shouldn’t do something.
This drives me literally insane. It’s gotten to a point where I’m seriously considering the idea of backing out. I’ve had a whole bunch of introspections and revelations about this business… in the back of my mind I always knew that this potential was capped. It turns out the reason why is because of my partner. He’s like the anchor. He knows how to keep things stable, but it’s a double-edged sword.
This weekend I’m taking him out to dinner and I’m basically going to make 1 last attempt to persuade him. This is literally the sole reason why I’ve been working on my persuasion skills… because I knew this would happen. If it doesn’t work out, then I legitimately don’t know what I’m going to do.
And it’s already July 20th.
I blow off steam with trolling around and gaming because if I don’t then I stay stuck in this really cold-blooded, super high value, extremely ambitious, no bullshit entrepreneurial state of mind and start accidently projecting it on to people, lmao. I forget to turn it off and adjust to an environment.

Most men have trouble developing an intense mindset, meanwhile I’m sitting here having trouble in turning it off, lmao.
The subs worked that well, hahahaha.

Sounds like he’s got some fears. What were your bullet points gonna be for persuading him more?
How I’m going to persuade him is by breaking down the changes into as small and little steps as possible.
With the promise that we can start small and try things out… and make adjustments. If at any point it’s not looking good, then we’ll drop the whole thing.
I have to make him feel as safe as possible without triggering those fears. Make him integrate my propositions as having no threat to the stability of the business.
I’ve presented this already to him in various different ways, but his problem is that he doesn’t even want to try. He’s that fucking stubborn. He just acts all smartass “know-it-all” and is firm that it’s not going to work. Like I’ll admit, I have my moments of being a smartass but this guy is just a different level. I have to drill it in him.
Your business partner is supposed to trust you. It’s not even like I’m asking for much.
This is a deeper problem too it’s like… recently I’ve been on a whole relationship improvement run. My social circles, my partner, my family, etc.
Of course all of the flaws in my biggest business relationship are just getting pulled to the surface. This is bigger than just business, I feel… like the changes are one thing but we need to start seeing more eye to eye and trusting each other more. Everything needs to change.
I can’t do this shit anymore. The places I want to go financially, the lifestyle I want, etc. If he’s not compatible then I have to back out. I respect his free will, I can’t force him to do anything.
We don’t connect as much as we should. The flaws in our relationship are actually a reflection of the stagnation in the business. This is what I aimed for when I had nothing. But now that I have it and have a new goal… I may have to let this go.
I’ll keep it honest on here. I’ve had wild thoughts. Like, planning a wild vacation with him somewhere and exposing him to possibility. Trying to expand his ambition. All kinds of shit. He’s just a complacent man, he has kids, a wife and a house. He’s super religious (I won’t say his religion).
It’s all whatever. I’m working on my travelling project on the side, looking over all my goals, my bucket list and wealth goals of the year… everything should be smooth sailing. I have no doubt that if we implement the changes… we’d be making a lot more or at the very least opening up doors. It’s by no means “safe” and full-proof, like there is potential to fuck things up but what I’ve been saying is we can at least try. If it’s not looking to good then we can pull the plug. My new argument is that whatever risk there is… won’t harm the stability as much. The damage should be minimal.
In this guys mind all he hears is “This is not going to work and there will be damage. No way.”
Anyways whatever. Tired of writing paragraphs.

Sounds like a solid plan. Hope you get through to him. But it does sound like there’s a disproportionate amount of energy being expended on trying to get him on your level.

Lol great now @RVconsultant can close the journal. I don’t have any more burner journals, next journal will probably be in 2 months or something… will be very interesting that’s for sure hahaha
What is your thought about being a sheep in wolves clothing?
It was a great read but this question begs to be asked.
Nah, that would a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Fucking solid right here, I agree.
Ps, don’t delete the above post, it’s pure gold.
Inb4 journal closes.
Honestly I don’t think it’s this esoteric. I think it’s just stress. Stress is the killer. Doesn’t require high level metaphysics discussions to acknowledge if you throw off your internal biology bad shit happens.
