About this listen
"No days off" isn't discipline. It's what men say when they're afraid to slow down.
You learned that effort compounds.
That showing up when others don't is the edge. And you were right. That worked. You built a business, a reputation, a life most people only think about.
But somewhere along the way, you stopped distinguishing between effort that builds and effort that just continues.
You started treating your body the way you treat an underperforming employee — push harder, demand more, accept no excuses.
Except your body isn't an employee. It doesn't respond to pressure the way a P&L does. And when you override it long enough, it stops sending signals. It just starts breaking.
This conversation is for the man who's tired in a way weekends don't fix. Who's running the same patterns that built everything but now those patterns aren't building anything.
Who's optimized every system in his business except the one that runs it all.
Effort without recovery is just slow self-destruction with good PR. The gap isn't between effort and results. It's between intelligence and ego.
