Business is Whimsical

Waiting is the pullback

Surrender September ends tomorrow.

I spent it learning what the waiting is actually for.

If you're a Generator you wait to respond. A Projector waits for the invitation. And everybody takes that to mean sit still.

It doesn't. Waiting is the pullback.

Think about a slingshot. You pull it back and back and that's all potential energy, stored, going nowhere. The rock doesn't move because you pulled harder. It moves when you let go.

That's what the waiting is. You're loaded. You've been loaded for a while. What you're waiting on isn't an invitation, it's a release.

And the thing you have to release is inside you — the shame, the guilt, the fear of being seen.

Today I released Stop Making Money. Generate It. I was scared to make it. Not because the video was hard. Because the version of me who makes it had to come out first.

So pick the one you've been not-doing. The video, the post, the message to the person. Then ask what you'd have to put down in order to do it. That's the release, and it goes first.

Your fractal can't find you in the journal.

P.S. I'm going to write you most mornings for a while. If that's too much you can turn the daily off and keep the rest, or leave entirely. I won't take it personally.
