Iron Sharpens Iron

By

In today’s video of Matt’s Minutes, Matt is taking a break from his usual market-related content and sharing some self-improvement videos over the next few weeks. Today he’s sharing a concept we all know well: Iron sharpens iron.

The things that he learned and the people he met made the trip absolutely priceless. Click on the video above to watch the full video

Where do you find your joy?

In this week’s episode of Matt’s Minutes, Matt is continuing with this summer self-improvement series. In today’s video, he’s talking about things we can and can’t control. Success stems from the effort you put into your actions, not from how others respond. Focus on what you can control—your actions—not the reactions of others. Find joy in the pursuit and merits of your efforts, not in external validation. Click on the video to watch the full video.

Take a look at the picture we show in the video.  I think it’s probably the most simple visual of what it looks like for people who choose the easy road versus the hard road, and what their potential experience looks like once they’ve made that choice.
