Birthday - Reflection Day - How wise people use their birthday

Peace to the saints. It is my pleasure to be with you today for this reflection day, and I'll explain the concept briefly for those of you who are new. Of course, during this conversation, we'll have some notes on self-improvement on how to live the good life.

So, number one, the reason that it's not a birthday because birthdays are generally what you have for children or what you have for women or just broadly speaking narcissistic characters who think that they matter on the planet Earth merely because they were born. Well, if you look around, it turns out that everyone who's here was born. And in addition to that, for my high IQ folks, time is not just doesn't repeat. It's linear. Your birthday occurred once, never to occur again. So the idea that we should all celebrate me just cuz I'm here is silliness.

Instead, we have reflection day, which is more sober. It's more thoughtful and it really ensures that your days moving forward will be better than your days past. So, I want to engage you in my method for reflection day. I encourage all of you guys to have reflection day. And also, it'll save you hella money. It'll save you hella money doing this instead of uh celebrating birthdays.

And on reflection day, here are the things that you consider. And I'm also I'm going to describe how to do it. I'll describe the categories and then I'll go through it with you and I'll review my year uh in brief. I haven't actually had enough time to, you know, put in all of the notes, but I have more than enough to have a meaningful conversation here with you today.

Oh, yes, and as we go through, if you have any comments, questions, ties, tuition, uh you can use the banner at the bottom to show your support and appreciation. A number of folks have already sent in uh birthday gifts and support and reflection day gifts. I really do appreciate it and I certainly will be acknowledging all of those folks.

So, uh, reflection day, got my notes right here. Uh, reflection day, there are four, five categories. Yes, five categories. And I'll tell you what they are and then I'll tell you how to engage the process.

So the first one is accomplishments/experiences in the previous year, which is to say the year up to today. So we're not talking about the calendar year. We're not talking about the fiscal year. We're saying from your birthday, and mine is April 26, as you know. So from this April 26 all the way back to the previous April 26 of 2025, what were my accomplishments/experiences? And the reason it's noted that way is because an accomplishment may be something that you do where you get accolades for it. An experience may be something there's no accolades but it's something that had meaning to you. So category one you write down all of your accomplishments/experiences.

Now there's two ways you do it. The first way you do it based on memory and you put a star next to each thing. That's using the conscious mind. The things that are big and stick out in your head. Those are probably the most important things. Then you're going to go through a second time. You're going to look at your calendar. I keep a calendar. I trust many of you do. You guys are businessmen, businesswomen or good lady saints. And you go back through your calendar for the year and then you look at all of the different events or activities. And then you go back through and you write through all the meaningful accomplishments and experiences. But don't put a star next to it because those are not the ones that came to your mind. We're really designing a life here because the accomplishments and experiences that did not come to your mind, your conscious memories, those are the ones that don't matter that much.

So category A, accomplishments/experiences in the previous year. Category B are things that took time/capital that didn't matter. Meaning you had to pay for it. You have to use some time to do it and in retrospect you're like, "Ah, that wasn't worth it. Why the hell did I do that? Why did I spend that money? Total waste." So that you don't repeat errors, that your life is better moving forward. Category C, behavior/experiences to stop, which is to say there are some things you do, habits, or there are some places you may find yourself in frequently that are either detrimental or it's a waste of time. It's bad for your reputation. It's bad for your mindset or bad for your opportunities. You need to change it. And D is upcoming goals/experiences. What is your goal for your next birthday? April 26, 2027. What is your goal for that date to have achieved it by then? And also what are the experiences you wish to have had by that date? April 26, 2027. And obviously yours is different unless we have the exact same birthday, which I doubt we do. And then the final category is E and it is habits to practice, meaning every day consistently changes in your behavior.

Now remember in some of these categories you can only have so many things. Remember simplicity and oneness. We're going more so on the simplicity side here because there are only so many things you can do and there's only so many things you can remember. You may do a whole bunch of things and not remember some of them. You may do a whole bunch of things and some of them weren't very meaningful. So we're going to go through, but before we do, I want to give you a bit of a reality check. Uh, some of the kind of lessons we have in the book of dark truths. One thing I want you guys to observe and this is something I always emphasize with my men. Women don't like to know this. That's why it's, you know, in the book of dark truths. Some males don't like to admit this, but the birthday concept is a very narcissistic concept. Me, me, me, me, me. It's for the me monsters. It's for the people who don't do anything meaningful in the world and they have an opportunity to be celebrated for no reason and they'll take it. My good fortune is I've accomplished things and I help a lot of people. I help a lot of people. I also do business with a lot of people. I even got some gifts coming in from people I did business with. Not even friends. We just do business together. So, I'm well positioned if I wanted to try to milk the narcissistic experience that we call your birthday celebration. But my good fortune is that I live on the ground. I was uh born into a very humble family, a southern uh people who have southern values. And uh I think that's always kept me sane.

I want you guys to observe if I was talking about anything else, anything else. If I was talking about women, if I was going to have a debate, if I was doing a reaction to a video, by this time in the conversation, there'd probably be about 700 people minimum watching, between 700 to a thousand people watching. I want to remind you all that mostly no one cares in general. No one cares and no one cares about you except in some cases and hopefully it's true for you. Uh, your family cares and your real friends care. And remember everything that I teach you guys always circles around the concept of family. If you go back through my content ever since I appeared on YouTube, you'll consistently find that I'm talking about in-person real relationships and I'm talking about family. Your family will care about you. Your mom's going to call you on your birthday. I mean, after all, she is uh part of the reason you were birthed, but your family will call. Uh, your family will text, your family will give you a gift. They'll support you. And that's what I've experienced. You know, my executives, uh, guys who have been longtime saints, the saints who are confirmed, my friends, uh, people I make a lot of money with, women who care about me, of course, my mother, they call, they text, they send a gift, send a cake, send what have you. And they'll always be there. They'll be there whether you're successful, you're rich, you're famous, you're well-known, you have clout, you have no clout. And that's why what I teach you guys is about cultivating those relationships. I talk to you about health, wealth, relationships.

I'm happy to say I'm in excellent health and improving, meaning getting stronger and faster. We got the big game conference coming up. We got the big game conference coming up. I just got the field uh cut down. I had my my hay guy came and cut the hay. Then I had my groundskeeper came and he did a another once over and then shaped it perfectly. And tomorrow is very exciting because I have uh two guys coming to show me some technology. They got this AI robot that can paint field lines for the football field. We have NFL-size football field uh at Burton Plantation. So, they're going to uh demonstrate that. Hopefully, it works. And if it does, I'm going to write a big check to make sure that we can have fresh football lines for the Big Game Conference. But remember, everything I talk to you about is about family. And that is for your benefit. Some of you may not have been born into a family where you necessarily felt the love or you had the proper guidance of a good patriarch. But your good fortune is that you can create a family. All of you, you can create a family. And uh one of my favorite things about the big game conference is that I teach you about the specific steps you engage to be strategic about creating the family and life that you want. So remember, especially on times such as these, uh, your reflection day, family is everything. Because, you know, I may have thousands of, hundreds of thousands of true fans. I may have millions of viewers, but the people who actually care and actually love you, see, that's a much smaller group. There are tens of thousands of people who say, "I love you," every month. In fact, there's at least 10 or 20 women who almost every day say, "I love you." But it's just not true. So, I want you guys to always remember that.

And the reason we do reflection day is to strengthen you so that when you go hard, you're going hard for yourself above all and for your family. You are the one who's going to get the job done. You are the one who's going to lift yourself up. You are the chief person who's going to heal yourself when you need healing. You're the person that has to get you across the finish line. Okay? So, please do remember that. It might not be the most happy encouraging message that nobody cares, but it's also an empowering message that if you care about you, that's all you need. And if you are wise enough to be strategic in selecting a woman and appropriately approaching her and managing the relationship as a proper patriarch and having as many children as you can and you absolutely should if you're a saint, you will have built a beautiful life that will support your happiness over time.

Carrying on now, um, so those were the categories A through Echo. And I went through and made some notes here. I actually went through two times. It's my second draft. And I always encourage you guys to draft things to perfection. You don't have to get anything right the first time. Oh, in fact, maybe before I go through this, I should acknowledge some of the folks who have um supported the work. Shout out to Gary came in via Skype. I appreciate you. And I just want to make sure that I didn't miss anyone from earlier today because sometimes uh that happens. I know sometimes folks come in very, very early. All these business emails, folks wishing a happy birthday, and that's smart business for them. It's another contact point. Uh, shout out to Joshua who just became a member at school.com/marquet. M A R Q T. May I also acknowledge via Venmo? Make sure I just want to make sure I'm not skipping anyone because as you guys know within our culture, we say, "Show love to those who show love to you." Just want to make sure I'm not skipping anyone at all. Okay. Uh, shout out to Heels in uh came in supporting the work via Venmo. Appreciate you. Good to see you again. May I also acknowledge uh he writes, "Happy birthday, man." Uh, wish many more. I appreciate that. And above all, may every year be very quality. Now, that's what it's about. May I also acknowledge Mr. Brown comes in by Venmo. He writes, "Peace of the Saints. I want to pay uh for tuition before my phone dies. Here to make my name known." I appreciate you. He came right back on Venmo. He writes, "Peace of the saints. Had to come back and show my appreciation for the finance course. I'm saving a lot more of my money. Thank you for what you do. Peace to all of the saints around the world."

Those kind of messages really make the work worth it for me. As I say, sometimes I make my courses out of frustration. You know, sometimes I hear people communicate and I think, man, you could be so much more effective. I make the master communicator course and sometimes out of sheer annoyance and disgust I'm like, "Man, you could be so much more effective." I make the master communicator course to help people convey their intelligence. Sometimes you're intelligent but you don't sound intelligent and you should. It'll give you the best opportunity for yourself. But know the finance course, especially the one that's about budgeting and personal finance, you know, I didn't get taught that. I had to learn it the hard way. What I was taught, you know, being a Southerner and having a very sober Christian grandmother, you know, in her old age, right? She was lit when she was young. But she taught me the value of tithing and the value of saving. And I was a great saver. Uh, very much so a great saver. And there's more that goes into that psychologically in terms of being good at saving. One, when you have specific taste, when you're not a follower, you don't have to follow trends. You don't have to get the Jordans because you don't care about the Jordans. You like what you like and what you like might not be so expensive. And all of those traits help me be a very strong saver. And then thirdly, being free of vice. Never drank alcohol. Never used marijuana. Never went to Starbucks cuz I don't drink caffeine. No sodas. Saving so much money drinking tap water. I don't know how much money tap water saved me. A ton. But I say all that to say, uh, I thank you for being kind enough to share with everyone that the finance course benefited you. Because maybe some people will hear that and they'll think, "Okay, I'm going to go to piecesofsaints.com, hit products, and get the course that helps me budget and manage my own finances." Because that's something that you didn't learn in school. And frankly, most of your parents can't teach you because your parents are probably in debt. Uh, unfortunately, you know, that that's kind of the way it is in these United States of America. But you don't have to be. All of that is a choice. All of that is a choice. Always remember, you have choices in this world. Uh, but shout to the gentleman. And he says he's saving a lot more money, as he should.

Now I also acknowledge Sha Marcos came in by Venmo. He writes, "Happy reflection day to the leader and creator of the Sassin, the man responsible for bringing the good people of the earth together. The man that sets the standard for mankind in the areas of health, wealth, and relationships. Thank you for everything you do. Peace to the saints." I really appreciate that. And Marcos is a good brother. Marcos is an OG saint. He's obviously a confirmed saint. Been here, you know, from the very, very beginning. Someone I I really respect. Can't wait to see Marcos again. Good brother. And shout out to all the the saints who uh are expanding their families. That's a huge milestone. Um, and so do always count that you have a new relationship, a a fiance, a wife, children, all of that, marriage, wedding, what have you. These are all hugely important milestones that should be appreciated. Now me personally, I don't deal with all those, you know, those womanly things like a gender reveal party. That's gay and you know, all this other stuff like, hell nah. But making those progressions is important. Like the cute celebrations is just expensive and unnecessary. Just making some notes here. Okay. Very fantastic. Thank you very much for that. I appreciate that.

Shout out to St. Victor. Writes, "Happy Reflection Day uh to the biggest of homies, uh the one and only, the most honorable Marquet Devon Burton. May you continue to thrive, prosper, and live a fulfilling life of abundance and peace." Lil Cashkit, I appreciate that and that really means a lot. And you know what? I'm a hustler. I'm a hustler. You guys are many of you are hustlers and I couldn't see it any other way. And ideally, these reflection days make us sharper for the upcoming year. And that's the key so that life is always going like this.

Shout to Justin. He writes, "Peace of the saints. Happy birthday, Mr. Burton. Your work has changed my life for the better. Pray this next year is more impactful and meaningful to you." I anticipate that it absolutely will be. I'm making big plans and I feel very focused on the right things and we got a great plan.

Sha Gwinsley came in with the first bowler alert. Came in at the $100 level on PayPal. He writes, "Happy reflection day. Thank you for all the lessons." I appreciate that. And shout out to Gwinsley and all the saints I had the pleasure of meeting. Some of you I met at the Book of Dark Truths conference and most times I meet you guys, I always remember uh which exact time uh I met you all. It's really a pleasure to build these real relationships.

Shout out to Mr. Robinson comes in by PayPal. He writes, "Peace to the saints. Happy reflection day to the idol of James Bond. Malcolm Flex Flex Luther. I truly thank you for creating this thing of ours of which I am proud and grateful to be a part of. Early tuition because I know the wisdom you impart will be pristine as always." I appreciate that and thank you for that vote of confidence. I also acknowledge Quinton came in by PayPal writes, "Have a happy excuse me, have a blessed reflection day, Mr. Burton. Peace to the saints." Absolutely. I have had and will continue to have a very blessed pleasant day. It's been so much flow today and I've been working today. I want you guys all to There's no days off out here. I enjoy working. Some people say that. I don't know if I believe them, but I am the work. I am the work.

Shout to Wayne. He writes, "Peace to the saints. Happy birthday. May you have many more." Thank you, sir.

Now, also acknowledge Frank comes in in a strong way via PayPal. He writes, "To another year of success in health, wealth, and relationships. May you continue to rise, prosper, and expand the ism to the nations. Sassin or nothing, Houston standing up." I appreciate it, and we absolutely shall. And shout out to Frank. I can't wait to, you know, get back on the ground with a lot of you guys. In in Frank's case, tap in. I think you had some additions to the assassin uh war song or war dance.

Shout out to Mr. Gardner. He writes, "Happy Reflection Day, Saint. I appreciate you." I also acknowledge Oh. Oh, looks like he came right back after that. Mr. Gardner writes, "Peace to the saints. Not enough good words can describe how great of a leader you are. I am grateful for you and the assassin. I appreciate you." And that really means a lot, especially one leader to another. Uh, this is our executive uh in the Carolinas and it really does mean a lot. And I think that we all um, you know, are humbled in the midst of great men. You know, I've my last live I mentioned some of the great leaders we have within this thing of ours. And I encourage all of you if you think you're qualified, try to raise up in our ranks. Try to get confirmed. Um, but you know, I look at some of these guys and they have phenomenal leadership styles, styles that are different than mine that I really admire. You know, wish I could do some of the things they can do. So, I appreciate that compliment. It really does mean a lot.

Now, I also acknowledge Kyle. Shout out to Kyle came in with the quadruple bowler alert. He writes, "A small step toward the next goal. Peace to the Saints." He actually came in at uh $426.87. Uh, if you know, you know. Shout out to Kyle. And that brother is very, very sharp. And Kyle, you know, he's one of those guys. And as I said, I look at this as family. And, you know, our our women know each other, and they should if they don't. Um, our children shall know each other. And um, and may our families be ever expanding. And, you know, some of these men are have such beautiful qualities and traits within them that I don't have. And I'm just pleased to to know that my children will be also under the leadership of these men in our community and they will, you know, soak up the the level of focus and ingenuity and hard work and kindness that you guys have. So, I'm always excited to have events and host here. As I always tell you guys, having a, you know, an expensive car isn't so fun unless you have, you know, a beautiful woman in it. Having a a big house doesn't mean anything unless you fill it with people that you love. So, I'm very much looking forward to the big game conference. Um, if Dan is watching, uh, he's a ref and he's a cheating ass ref. I just, just want everybody to know like Dan Lee be cheating like a be. But, bro, we going to have the cameras rolling. We reviewing plays this year, bro. And we ain't having no cheating out here, man. We going hard this year. We need this W, man. We need this W. I hope everybody's at home training. It's going to be a beautiful time. But thank you very much, K. I appreciate it.

Carrying on. Now, I also acknowledge Daniel comes in by Venmo. He writes, "Peace of the Saints. Happy reflection day. I really appreciate everything you do. You have had such an impact on my life. Thank you." You're very welcome and I thank you for supporting and for being a part of this thing of ours because at the end of the day, as I trust you all know, um our organization is composed of people, not buildings, but people, human beings. And so I thank you all and it is my mutual pleasure.

Sha Pawan writes, "Peace to the saints. Happy reflection day, Mr. Burton. Thank you for all you do. I appreciate you, Pawan."

Now also acknowledge Rammon writes, "Happy reflection day, Mr. Burton. Thank you for all of the good you've done and are going to do. Peace and saints, I appreciate you because I definitely got a lot of tricks up my sleeve. I'm just getting started." Believe that. May I also acknowledge uh Saul and Wilson both coming in supporting the work using the Stripe link. I appreciate both of you.

Okay, we'll go ahead and get into it. Uh, let me go ahead and uh hydrate just a bit. I had a good workout in today. I was soaked. Sometimes I got to stop the workout because I'm just sweating too much. It's disgusting. This water, this water fresh from the aquifer. It it is good water. And I know water. You You know I know water, right? Because I don't drink alcohol. I don't know wine. I don't know champagne. I don't know liquor. I know water. This is good water. It's kind of water make you want to say, "Ah," you know how little kids they like finish drinking, they're like, "Ah." You like when you're outside playing like super hard and then you don't want to go inside cuz you want to keep playing so you just go to the water hose and just drink some of the water even though it's that city water in the hood, you like, "Ah, so refreshing." Anyways, anyways, now let's get after it.

So starting off with accomplishments/experiences in the previous year and feel free to add anything uh ladies and saints if I miss anything. This is at some level kind of ordered, not as well ordered as I would like it, but say LV. So uh May uh 2025, remember my birthday is in April, so that's the following month, May. So we're within the year. We closed on Burton Plantation, which is hugely important because of the land. I've closed on houses before, many times, but I never close on an estate that has land. And land is a part of my big vision because, as you know, I always talk about family and tribe. And tribes are together. It provides for your safety. It provides for an easier life, a lower cost life. And so that was a big plan of mine for some time. And it came together with the closing of Burton Plantation on May 12th. So that was great. And shout out to all the folks uh who were involved in that, you know, and I always tell you guys to have a good woman on your side is a great asset. So very thankful.

I also purchased a new Maybach and it was actually something that was pretty well worth it. I've purchased cars before, many actually. And of the many cars I purchased, I'd say only two times did I think, "Wow, like and this every time I am enjoying this." You know, my antique Rolls-Royce, that was one I just love, love, love. Every time I fire it up. And this newest Maybach, the last one, the two-tone uh green and gold one, that one was cool. Um, but this one I like more. Technology actually had made a significant jump in just uh 24 months. So, it was worthwhile. Also, I I'm going to maybe try to cross this stuff out as I go through. Type it up later. I just don't want to repeat anything. Uh, also, I have my home 80% furnished, which in the first year of getting a home, especially of significant size, um, it's taken a lot of money and time and taste. Uh, taste I have in abundance, but all the other things are, you know, finite. So I'm very thankful because we've made the place somewhere where you can, you know, you can relax and you can feel at home at a level. And also we've had a lot of art put up. Uh, we still have some uh commission pieces that are being finished. In fact, we have a masterpiece and I do we have an epic we have an epic masterpiece. This bad boy is 10 feet long, my boy. For those of you who can actually dunk a basketball, that's the height of the rim. So, it's 10 feet by five feet. Huge oil painting. It is epic. It is meaningful. It's impactful. It's legendary. It's big. Um, so that one is being finished up over the next uh week and a half. I trust it'll be finished and then it'll be shipped here. Uh, actually not to the Burton Plantation. It will be shipped to a group that specializes in large paintings. Um, particularly stretching the canvas and framing them with the custom frame. And then we will have another crew that will be able to hang that bad boy up on the wall in the parlor room. And uh, one of the saints has made it into that one. And that's one of the things you guys will notice when you come to Burton Plantation. You walk through, we've made our best uh, effort to immortalize our culture, assassin culture, and the saints. To you guys, especially our confirmed saints. So, they'll be one of the saints. Uh, you guys can take a look at the piece and let me know who you recognize in there. Um, so, it'll be a beautiful piece. I'm looking forward to it. But the plantation is 80% furnished, which took a hell of a lot of uh uh time, effort, money, and taste. So, very happy about that.

Also, I released peace to the saints.com. Uh, for those of you who are not members, I highly recommend it. It's uh, in fact, I wish I had it fired up right now, but I actually am not logged in. But it's a very robust uh site that does so many things. The, you know, one of the small things that I really love about it is I put a form in there where you can write your goal and then you can edit your goal, but it tracks it and it shows you what it used to be. You can also add in your daily activities that you do that add up to the goal. So, it's a way to have a record of am I actually trying? Am I doing something? And before I claim I did everything, I can just scroll back through and look at all the activities and see like, "I didn't do everything. I did two things or three things. There's seven or eight more things I could do to achieve this goal." And every time you log in, it's right there at the top of your dashboard. And to me, that's just a great custom thing that I created for you all because your goals will define the quality of your life. Also, you know, peace to the saints, just very robust, has a ton of stuff on there and it is another effort in us securing our tech stack so that we're not victim of a Patreon, we're not victim of a Vimeo, we're not victim of a YouTube, and we have been victim of all of the above. Censorship is uh very strong.

Also, I created another tech business called Risdom. Riszdem, which allows experts and influencers to monetize their inbox, but more importantly, it allows fans to get guaranteed replies within a timely fashion and it's a revenue-generating software business. And that's great within the space of a year to be able to a complete a software application and then b have it cash flowing every month. That's huge. I've been in business for a long time. I've created a lot of software companies. Some of them didn't generate much of anything and others were ones that took me around the world. So to be able to do that within the space of a year is so satisfying because I've had companies that I had to raise millions of dollars for and it took four years for them to start cash flowing. And so this was really cool. I'm excited. It lets me know that I am at an expert level in the software business and revenue models. So that's really neat. And also, I guess I should also mention that my AI course has allowed a lot of you, some of you who are watching right now, to create your own finished software products and to bring in revenue. And that's really cool. Um, and also we'll be having another session this week. So if you guys haven't enjoyed my AI course, we invite you. Either way, we're going to have a live practicum, which means we'll be online like this, except there'll be between six to 30 of you guys on with me and we'll be going through learning AI, how to create web applications, mobile applications, business model, marketing, all that good stuff. And also, just side note, folks, and for the folks who didn't purchase the course, if you're kind of curious as to how we do stuff, I'm going to do probably a hybrid thing. I'm going to start off the course um public live stream because there's something specific I want to show you guys and I kind of want all of my people to have a chance and then when we start getting into the more nitty-gritty details, things that are more valuable, then we're going to cut it and we'll do it straight just for the uh the people who bought the course. But I at least want to start it public because I think that sometimes people can't comprehend the value of things. And the reason that I say that, I have a lot of education and almost never did I walk out of a class at the University of California, Berkeley or at the Johns Hopkins University. Almost never did I walk out after a day of lecturing or after a semester and had skills I could use immediately. So I think that people don't comprehend the true value add and I frankly don't want you guys to be left in confusion and poverty when AI has fully taken over. Uh, so I'll do that for you all and I'll try to do that within the next three days. So folks who have bought the course, be ready. You're going to love it. Folks who haven't bought the course, you'll get the first half and then you'll understand, you know, the kind of opportunity that you'll be looking at.

Anyways, um, so that was cool. Uh, wisdom.com got released. I'm really happy about that cash flowing uh tech business. Also, February 2026, we had our drip trip. Uh, always get to meet new guys. A lot of people stuck out. Got to see guys I've known for years and you know, we went to the other side of the earth. We have uh people there who know us organizationally, the Sassin, the Saints, and to see our impact and also for it to be a part of our tradition, man, that always touches my heart. And also I was able to have custom dresses and shoes made for people that I love. And most importantly, there's a woman who does our shoes um and she's just such a sweet loving woman. I don't know, she's probably like in her 60s, little Vietnamese woman, absolutely love doing business with her. I love seeing her every time. She's so honest and she's really a good person. Also, there's another woman that we were going to do a deal with and she's the opposite. She's not a good person at all. Last next time I go there, I got to walk in her store and knock something over or something. We had to do her dirty. Um, she has a tailor shop called I Choose or something. Yeah, I think it's called I Choose. Terrible person, dishonest person, terrible in her business dealings. And so, you know, we're going to do our dirty next time. But I say all that to say, you know, we have impact there. And we also have Sassin Asia also started up this year. So, shout out to the executive in Sassin Asia. Sassin Asia is headquartered in the Philippines. We also have one of the saints uh over in Manila as well, an American saint now over there. So, you know, we're really expanding our influence. And also, shout out to the other saint. I'm not saying people's names because I don't know if they want to be named. Um, I also want to acknowledge there's one of the saints who um was over in Manila and really spreading ism. He was doing his 30 minutes of sweat every day. There's some young kids in uh Philippines and they want to work out with him and he instructed them in our way of life, you feel me? Let him get it in with the the boxing techniques and everything. It was just a beautiful thing to see. That's what we're about, you know, mentorship. Uh, patriarch being a great example as a man and we're living it out. So I I thank you to all of my leaders. Also um uh got a penthouse in Miami. So that's something that uh will shape the way we operate and our visibility. Um, big game conference as well was in June. So that was the first major hosting that I had at Burton Plantation once we got enough furniture and everything. So that that was really cool and it was fun. to start our tradition of our football game uh which is now apparently extremely important to all of us. Also we had two street debates, one in Houston, one in Atlanta and that gave a different type of visibility to the organization. It also allowed us to execute on all of our training and our mindsets that we've been conditioning. It was a beautiful display. Uh so I plan to do one in the upcoming year in uh Miami. We'll talk about that in a different section. But those two experiences were really important and it showed us the critical nature of relationships because when we were out there during those street debates, everyone who was present, we were all willing to ride to the max to the end for the other saints who were there. You know, we didn't have any casual people there. We didn't have any strangers there. We didn't have any guys we don't trust and know well. We had all real savages out there and that's how it should be.

Also, we had Saints Holiday and you know my only sadness about Saints Holiday because the food was so good and we had so many leftovers and shout out to the Lady Saints and that's another beautiful thing. The Lady Saints came down uh to Burton Plantation. They all got together. We did not cater at all. They did the shopping. They did the cooking. They whipped up everything from scratch. The food was absolutely delicious. It was the best example of family, women in proper place, in the kitchen, making healthy, delicious food, making sure that everything ran smoothly. We had a great team in the Lady Saints. I'm so very proud of them. Shout out to Diamond who's done a phenomenal job at leading the Lady Saints. We cannot thank her enough. And um, shout out to the the ladies of the house. So, the food was so damn good. I was mad that I had to leave like a day after. I had to leave like the next day. I think I was uh I think I went to had to go to Germany, but it it sucked because there was so many leftovers. The food was so good, but it get like that. I look forward to this upcoming Saints Holiday. The only improvement for Saints Holiday is the cookies. I had one and I I didn't think that they were where the level I want them to be at, but everybody else apparently did because they ate every last one of them. There were no leftover cookies. But still, I've been uh testing uh cookie dough and uh I think I've settled on a good one. And also the waffles. I believe waffles were served as a part of the breakfast and uh we have a new recipe that involves so I'm not going to tell you the secret ingredient, but it is much better. So keep an eye out for that. Always continuous improvement.

I did a lot of travel. I didn't take out the time to identify all the places I've been to in the last 365 days because I didn't have time to go through my calendar. But just some of the some that come to mind because they're relevant to other sections are Macau, Serbia, Slovakia, Hong Kong. Uh, so those were experiences this year. Oh, and obviously I went to other places as well. I just mentioned Germany, etc. Uh, but not terribly relevant, so we'll skip that. So that's that section of accomplishments/experiences. And those are mostly the ones that come to mind. I didn't have time to go through my calendar. The ones that come to mind are important because those are the ones that you remember on your deathbed. Those are the ones that you remember when you need a pick-me-up. Those are the ones that you remember when you want to daydream. You want to get inspired. So, you should think about that. Once you go through and you write down everything like from your calendar, you're going to realize like, "Oh man, I did that, but that didn't matter. I went to that party, but I didn't really enjoy myself. I don't think I'll do that again." So, if I get an invite to something like that, I'll skip. There's a better use of my time.

Anyways, let me go ahead take a pause for the cause. Acknowledge some of the folks supporting the work. Shout out to shout out to Bryce uh came in supporting by the Stripe link. Had the pleasure of meeting Bryce. Also acknowledge Ronell supporting using the Stripe link. Looking forward to meeting all the folks I've not met. Uh, shout out to Christopher came in using Venmo. He writes, "Peace to the saints. Happy birthday, Saint. Thank you for everything you do. There are none like you. You ain't never lied."

Now also acknowledge Carter writes, "Thank you for all that you've done for myself, the assassin, and the good people of the earth. Happy reflection day. I appreciate you." And shout Carter always supporting. Very consistent.

Joshua writes, "Happy birthday, Marquet. More life. Thank you for having such a beautiful mind. You are truly remarkable. Words can't express how much of an impact on our society that you are." That really does mean a lot. I thank you for that.

Shout to Oed. Oh, good to see you again, Oed. He writes, "Peace tuition." Absolutely. Yes. If you'd be kind enough, OED, to send me an email and then I'm I'm going to pull it and set it aside. Um, so just send me an email with the appropriate subject line, we'll get it taken care of. And just uh add the attachments that make sense for that. Thank you for that note.

Shout out to Porsche came in via PayPal. Writes, "Happy reflection day, saying, "Thank you very much."

Shout out to um Mr. Brown. It looks like he uh just sent me a message on wisdom.com. I'll go ahead and take a look at that. Um, okay. H okay. Very interesting. So I I am going to go ahead and uh reply and I will read his message. I it doesn't seem terribly sensitive. So I hope he doesn't mind me uh reading his message and replying live. So he sent a message on wisdom.com. If you go to risom.com/marquetdine, you can uh reach me at any time that you have a particular question. And he writes, "You've put me on the straight path. I will be forever grateful." I appreciate that. That's a beautiful thing. He further writes, "Google business profile optimization for call-driven businesses. I think he means literally call-driven, phone call driven, want to serve criminal/defense and personal injury firms. Okay. Initially going to mix in bail bonds, towing, Cairo, dentists for startup and testing. Okay." Already my my business spidey senses are going off. I'm thinking simplicity and oneness. I'm assuming he's a team of one. Generally, when you start a business, you're an army of one. Then maybe you can get your old lady and your mama to help you a little bit as a volunteer. He writes, "Horoszi says, 'Provide for the free initially.'" That can make sense depending if you have a very clear value ad, then you should be charging. Uh, so that can make sense. I often think that if you are offering real value, people will pay for real value, especially if you're talking to the right person. Marquette, what do you mean? Well, you got to be talking to the right person. For example, right behind me, you can see those are custom boxing trunks. Now, most people who box are low-income. Boxing is not like a rich man's sport, right? So, most people don't want or I should say can't afford custom boxing trunks. So, but if you find the person who does want them, they're going to pay and they're going to be happy to pay because it's actually quite hard to get custom boxing trunks, like real proper custom boxing trunks. So, the moment you find the person who's looking for them, they're like, "How much can I pay you?" Because otherwise, you have to like use some foreign company in Thailand and then they got to ship them and it takes three weeks. And I know cuz my assistant did it for me and it took some effort. So I say that to say this. If you find the wrong person, maybe they don't have enough money. Maybe they box, but they're not boxing at a competitive level or a professional level. You know, there's so many different learnings you need to engage to find the right person to sell what you're selling. So it's not about offering it for free to the wrong person. And it's more so about offering it for a fee to the right person. I'm not saying hormosi is wrong. I'm saying if you have the right product that has real value and you found the right customer, they're going to pay because they need what you're selling. So that's what I think of that and I will repeat it and send a voice memo response to you. I'm just sharing this with the audience. I think it's worth uh sharing for their edification because I'm a nice guy. He writes, "Your thoughts on this and outreach 50 per day." I don't know what 50 per day means in your particular business. Is it 50 phone calls? Is it 50 emails? And that might be taxing depending on who you're calling. Uh, for example, you put uh bail bonds, towing, Cairo, dentists. So, if we just take those as samples, and I hope you're listening to this, because I'm giving you

A much longer response than I would on Wisdom, so you're getting a great value. Bail bonds, it'll probably be quite easy to reach the decision maker. So, that's a phone call that's not very taxing.

Uh, towing, it'll maybe can sometimes be a little more difficult because towing, they'll often have like one person who's routing people uh, based on like the tow truck company that's closest to you. So, you might not be calling the real company straight away. It might be an answering service. So, those can be taxing.

Uh chiropractors, you're probably going to want to call smaller ones if you actually want to talk to the decision maker. That can probably be taxing. You're moving up in prestige a bit from, you know, bail bondsmen and towing because these people have titles and they're direct service providers, so they may be hard to get a hold of. And then you say dentists. Same thing with chiropractors. And I think dentists are viewed as a little bit more prestigious and probably have a bigger client base. Uh so I think they'll be hard to get a hold of. So 50 dentists called and actually talking to the right person per day. I think that's very ambitious. I say all that to say this simplicity and oneness.

Uh so I'm going to actually uh record my answer to you right now and you'll get it back on Wisdom. So I'm going to click the record button and then I'm going to respond to you. Hey there. I hope you're watching the current live session cuz I gave you an elaborate response. But in summary, uh this does sound interesting. Obviously, you've not elaborated precisely on what you do. You should always tell me precisely how you make money. The revenue model is the most important thing because it's a business after all. Generally speaking, if you plan to go after law firms, you should start with law firms. I don't think it's necessary to take this uh deviation, but if you must, simplicity and oneness, I would pick the targets that are easiest to get in contact with. I think those are the bail bondsmen and the towing companies. Uh with regards to giving it away free, I think if you have an actually valuable product and you pick the right person to sell it to, they're definitely going to want to pay. Outreach of 50 a day, I think will work just fine with Bill Bondsman and Towing, uh but not as well with Cairo and dentist. Uh wishing you much success. Thank you for the question.

Okay, fantastic. Just sent that off. And now the gentleman received an email notifying him that I have uh replied. Okay, great. Says that he is listening currently. Fantastic. So, he got the full answer and I think that he'll profit from it. You know, every time that people reach out with business ideas or business questions. I know these people are going to be wildly successful because they're willing to invest in themselves. They're asking someone who knows and generally they're sharing good ideas. They're they're completely sensible. But I want you guys always to remember um if you're in business, you're in business to make money. So, if you come to me talking about business, you need to tell me how you make money because I want to help you optimize that. I I want to make sure that you're actually going to bring in the money. So, if you come to me and you're talking about a business and you don't talk about how you make money, I don't think you're going to be making no damn money because you ain't focused. You might not have a revenue model and that's maybe why you're thinking about giving it away for free because you haven't tightened up the revenue model. So, definitely hyperfocus on that and get your money mentality together.

You know, our society of degenerates, they're either stealing money, they're finessing for money, but they're not willing to go through the scientific processes that allow you to create a business, which is a reliable system that can operate without you. And also, they don't have the mentality that you don't have to be a bad guy to make money. You can be a good person offering great value in the marketplace and you should focus on money and there is merit there. And there's a such thing as ethical capitalism. There's a such thing as providing a consumer with a product that they absolutely love. They're happy to pay for and they're happy to pay for it again. For example, uh this watch, this is a fine watch, mdblabel.com. You dig? I wear I wear MDB label watches every day and love it. This shirt, this is a one of one. None before, none to come. You'll never see it again. It does. Isn't it gorgeous? It was worth every penny. It fits me like a glove. It's lovely. These are purchases I'm happy to remake. I'm happy to hand over the money. That's when you know you're selling the right thing. If someone was selling drip this fire and they said, "Oh, you know what? I'm gonna give you the first one free." LIKE, PLEASE. I'M PAYING for this. Matter of fact, give me two, three more of those. Is that silk? Give me two, three more of those. You don't need to give it away for free. It's valuable. And if they were trying to give it to me for free, I'd damn near be suspicious. I'm like, is that really silk? You don't give it to me for free? That must be fake silk. That's not the real deal. So do charge and stand by your price. Set the correct price and stand by your price. I do believe in at least two of my uh courses I talk about pricing strategy. Um, it may be in Boston University I talk about pricing strategy or the product based business course but I definitely know that in two of my courses I talk about pricing strategy which is important.

Uh, shout out to Paul just became a member at school.commarquet. Uh, that's s kol.comqt. Shout out to Danny. He writes, "Happy reflection day, Saint. See you soon, big." I'm assuming he's going to be at the big game conference. I'm looking forward to it. I am looking forward to it. Also acknowledge Constantine. He writes, uh, not a thing actually, just supporting the work. Appreciate you. Also acknowledge Miles. He writes, "Peace to the saints. Happy birthday, Mr. Burton. I thank you for all of your teachings. I've learned a lot from you and my life has improved from listening to your teachings over the years. Thank you again, Mr. Burton. You have truly blessed my life. I appreciate you. And the fact that you guys have the fruits to show and we've been together for years that that means we're doing the right thing, both of us. Shout out to Mr. Robinson writes, "Peace of the Saints via PayPal. Happy birthday, Saint. been watching for two years now and while I'm still on the journey, you really helped me shape my perspective on what you call life. I appreciate you dearly and wish you many more. Thank you, sir. Wishing you even greater success. I I'm always excited to see, you know, the big wins that you guys uh encounter and hard work and more importantly having good people around you always leads to such. You know, it's impossible to have real hustlers and ballers around you and you don't end up getting paid. It's impossible.

Let me acknowledge some of the folks using the uh super chat feature. Uh shout out to Nikki. Uh shout out to all the Lady Saints. I appreciate you Nikki. Good to see you again. May I also acknowledge uh Jim God uh writes my first live hashtag pay what you owe. Oh wow. Welcome. Oh yes. Good to see you. Now I appreciate you. He came in in a strong way. Shout out to Nick.

And it is a pleasure to be here and to be seen. And we are still making preparations because we know we are in the belly of the beast, but we are making every preparation. We never came in blind. Shelter Baltazar supporting the work. We appreciate you as well. Thank you very much.

Now we are going to carry on. Let me go ahead and uh hydrate and we going get to this work. You know, one thing I really love about our events is I know that some bad mfers are going to show up. You know, I know when we have our big game conference, people are going to come in serious. They're going to come in with good foot foot speed, good competitive nature, and I get to train knowing that it it makes you go harder. And that's the beauty of being around strong men, honorable men. And shout out to the Lady Saints. Some of the Lady Saints will be around uh the plantation. They'll be doing their own thing. But uh certainly when we actually have the game, they'll come out uh take a look see. So we'll have our little uh little live audience there. Carrying on.

So that was section A. Now on to section B. Section B is things that took time capital that didn't matter. And how do we measure if it mattered? How happy did it make you? That's the measure. That's what life is actually about. Enjoying your life. And some of you uh who are not saint Lee may say, "Well, Marquetley, well, what about uh one using that nose candy? That makes me happy, baby." No, no, that does not make you happy. Actually, it destroys you. You may have some fleeting happiness, but ultimately it hurts you. So, in this life, we should be doing the things that are upright and righteous. And do know that you can experience heaven or hell on earth. You don't have to die for that. If you make bad decisions, immoral decisions, your life will become hell. You make good decisions, your life will become heavenly. So that is why we encourage you to avoid intoxicants, alcohol, excess sugar, caffeine, and all the rest of it. So I say that to say this. What is the measure on if something was worth it in your experience or your accomplishment? The measure is how happy did it make you. So here I have noted Slovakia, Hong Kong, Slovenia and this is from my previous list, right? I looked at the accomplishments and experiences that came to mind and many of these things involved investing time, capital, energy, etc. and Slovakia, Hong Kong, and Slovenia. Uh, you know, it they didn't they didn't really hit they didn't really hit so much. And a lot of that was because there was not enough upfront research and preparation done. And oh well I'll get into that later but I'll just say in brief they didn't hit they did not deliver on the level of happiness that makes it worth the time the money and the long airplane rides etc. And I went to other places like Germany and uh Nerburgg and they were having a holiday while I was there and that was cool. And also went to uh Macau and that delivered um it it was really interesting actually and I'd always wanted to go to Macau. That was kind of a bucket list item and I really don't have any items left on my bucket list. So that delivered because I just had to see it. I had to see what was going on over there and I did. So those are things to consider for that second section. section B.

Now, section C is behaviors slashexperiences to stop. To stop. And mind you, ladies and saints, when I say to stop, I'm not talking about next week. I'm not talking about eventually. I'M TALKING ABOUT ASAP, IMMEDIATELY, EXPEDITIOUSLY. Preferably today. Goddamn it. Preferably while I'm talking right now, to stop, to knock it off. Okay? We're talking about immediate life change. We don't have time. We don't have time to take 30 damn years to do things. Remember this is a annual reflection. At worst case scenario, you should stop by the next birthday. Best case scenario, you should stop while I'm talking right now. Okay. Okay. All right. So, here are the things that I have here. So, one is cancel never sign into Twitter in one month if ads don't work. I've never run adverts on Twitter. I've run adverts on every other platform. I'm talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars worth. But Twitter, I've never done it. I've already had some issues with Twitter. They the premium doesn't let me get customer service. They won't allow me to monetize. The only value ad that Twitter can give me is if their adverts actually run, if their ad units convert. If they don't, I'm going to get off Twitter completely. Well, Marquet, why would you do that? You have like 15,000 followers on Twitter. Yeah, exactly. That's weird. I have 15,000 on Twitter and a quarter of a million on YouTube. And if I add up both my YouTube channels, like nearly 400,000 on YouTube and probably about 400,000 on Instagram. So something's weird on Twitter for sure. So the question is, is it worth my extra time, effort, and the emotion? Because things take emotion, that's also a capital to invest in Twitter if it's not converting anything. No, it's not worth it. So I'm going to run ad units as my last attempt. And if it doesn't convert anything, I'm going to completely stop. It is not wise to try to be everywhere and on everything. There's some things that I don't do at at all like uh Tik Tok. I'm not on Tik Tok at all. I don't sign in. I don't post anything on Tik Tok. I'm not on Tik Tok at any level. And that's okay. I don't need to be everywhere. But where I am choosing to be, I need to perform at a high level. So behaviors, experiences to stop. That's number one. Twitter if it does not convert. And I made a subnote of which video do I want to push out on Twitter. And I'm thinking uh two different types of videos. I'll make a note right here. Great.

Then the second thing is I have a a fashion brand called manandwoman.com. Many of you probably have man and woman brand Drip and it's a phenomenal brand. I love what it stands for. Of course, I have a lot of the merch. It's beautiful, well-designed, very simple, and I think that it probably has great potential, but I don't have a ton of time and focus. Like, I don't have enough time to to push it. And in terms of focus, it's not often enough top of mind. Not often enough am thinking to speak on man and woman brand. Am I thinking to promote it? Am I thinking to wear it and showcase it? So, it does make money. It could certainly make more money, but I need to pay attention to it. And of all the things I'm doing, I ask myself, do you want to make a million dollars the hard way or the easy way? Do you want to strain or have to learn new skills to make the million dollars or do you want to use an existing skill set? Generally, you want to do it the easy way. So, man and woman brand. I think I'm going to go ahead and close that down. It It hurts to say that I'm going to close down a cash flowing business, but I am. I'm going to close it down. So, obviously, um there's some time constraints on, you know, exactly when I can close it down because, you know, you can't just say I'm done. Like, there's some some processes with that. But I'm going to close that one down because I don't talk about it as much as I talk about sassinbrand.com. And sassbrand.com is absolutely necessary because our our uniform attire is there like our athletic shorts so that we all are uniform when we're working out because we are a militant organization. Our um and mind you for the guys who are coming from for the big game conference, your football jerseys are there. They're up. Um, ideally you should get the black one and the white one because we don't know which team you're going to be on. Uh, but if budget is low for you, then if you're in Florida, get the white one. If you're not in Florida, get the black one and then show up on game day with at least one white t-shirt, one black t-shirt if you if you have uh if the budget is getting low. And if you're in Florida, um if you guys would be kind enough to remind me, I'm going to release a special release just for you guys so that your shorts match your your top. Um so I'll release some uh Sassin athletic shorts in white so that because you guys have the white jerseys. So make sure that your shorts are white and cuz eventually every year we're stepping our game up, right? I'm already about to spend damn near 15,000 on this little AI machine to paint the damn field because we couldn't get um, you know the folks who do the colleges to come out to my personal home which is understandable. It's an unusual request but um every year we want it to be more professional. I mean like leave it up to me. We might mess around and have pads and helmets on one year. You dig? I lowkey I want to do it. But um remind me Florida and we'll put up the white shorts so that you guys can make sure your shorts and your uh your jerseys match. And uh remember no flag garden. You guys be cheating like a mug. Anyways, um but Sassin Brand is always top of mind because our uniforms are there. MDB label is always top of mind because that's our luxury brand and I'm I'm a big boss, you dig? So that's always going to be a go-to. But man and woman brand is something that I forget about and every brand, every company has to be marketed. Nike is at the top of their game, but they won't be if they don't bring in new celebrities, if they don't continue pushing. And so the question is, you know, is that something that I want to push on? No. And I wanted to share that with you guys because there are times in your life, especially if you're young and you're early in your business uh journey and your financial freedom journey that if something makes money, you're like, "Nigga, I'm doing it. It makes money. I'm doing it." Uh but fortunately, I'm in a strong enough position that I get to choose the dollars. And you know, frankly, that's it's just not worth it. So, I'm going to go ahead and shut down manandwoman.com. If you guys want some manandwoman.com merch, probably wise to order it this week, probably today, but definitely this week because I am going to shut it down. So, you all have a heads up on that one. And that will free up some time. And what I want to do with that time, I want to re uh reintroduce that time and everything, you know, the effort, the emotions, all that and the marketing spend, reintroduce that into sassbrand.com, mdbleabel.com. so that next year I may have fewer merch businesses, but the ones that I do have are performing even better and most importantly they're cared for. A business is like a young child. If it's going to grow up, you need to make sure you're feeding it vitamins. You're taking care of it. You can like a business is not going to take care of itself. I promise you that one. So anyways, that's one of the things behavior/experiences to stop menwoman.com.

Um, another thing is uh being accessible to average women. Terrible thing. terrible thing. I have to find a way to block them. Like not in the sense of blocking individual accounts, but like not engaging them at any level. It's just not appropriate and there's too many of them and it's it's a time drain. It's annoying. It ju it decreases my quality of life. So, finding a way to uh not be accessible to average women. Another thing is um risky unaligned content. I got demonetized for eight months and then I got ref flagged like five or six times. And I asked myself though I enjoy flaming certain people. I absolutely enjoy it and and it's natural. It feels natural. But I asked myself, is flaming certain individuals as important as the ultimate movement that I've been believing in and pushing since I was in high school? Probably not. So, that's something to be mindful of. The last one is reading comments consistently. I'll have, you know, every week at least three or so videos go viral on whatever platform. lot of duds, but at least three or four go viral now when videos are getting 8,000 comments. It's not worth reading any of them. You know, once the video crosses over, and it's it's ironic how, you know, life gets, but once a video crosses over a 100 comments, it's you you can't read them. They're constantly refreshing new ones. It's just not worth reading any of them. So, God willing, I won't read any comments ever. So, if there's ever anything I need to tend to or you guys are going to have to let me know because I don't want to read any comments ever because there is no payoff. There's no value. There's no utility. There's only time lost. There are no insights. I've been reading comments for years now. There are zero insights. Now, there may be some missed business opportunities, but I have to ask myself, what's more valuable? my guaranteed time I can recover or the possibility of an opportunity which it's okay you you don't need to take every opportunity.

Now we're on to section D delta upcoming goal/experiences. So this is what you want out of the next 365 days and I'm going to say 1 2 3 4 5 but this is not ordinal. First one is I want a dwelling at Burton Plantation, which is to say that I want to put a little little prefab house or dwelling on the plantation. I want to start just get that first one in place so I understand what are the costs for that particular unit. What are the tariffs? And man, I hope freaking Trump, Jesus, this guy, what are the tariffs? What's the delivery cost? What's the permitting speed? Um, and then when I set that unit down and we got to get the electrical hooked up, got to get septic associated with it. Once that's all done, how much money did that cost? What's the experience like for someone living in it? And then basically duplicate the process. So, I want to get at least one dwelling on ground at Burton Plantation at minimum one. You know, and I want you guys to notice the psychology of simplicity and oneness. You might say one, but once you get the one done, then number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, nine, 10 are effortless. But get that set up with septic, which is to say plumbing and all that, and electric and internet, and all these things are going to require me to run like cables underground and things like that, but get that done. And that will really be a huge step forward. That would make me very excited to have that done.

Number two, better trip planning. Uh, which is inclusive of, you know, having company in some cases having security and also laying the groundwork like actually planning the trips. You know, you guys might be shocked to know, unfortunately, I hate to admit it, but uh I might be, okay, tomorrow I'm going to Nigeria and then just book a book a ticket and show up and when I'm in the lounge, book a hotel. And you know, that's not quite the best way to travel. And increasingly uh with my rising profile, it's not an appropriate way to travel. Um I often underestimate like when I was in Slovenia, I was thinking nobody knows me in Slovenia. don't even know what Slovenia is. I was sitting eating a a I think they call it a der kebab, something like that. It was messy. Then these two uh Slovenian girls walk up like, "Oh god, like a can we take a picture?" I'm just like, "What? Slovenian women like my brother loves you. He watches everything and I just watch your business content. We got to take a picture. I got like freaking kebab sauce. I'm over like this is crazy. So, uh apparently I need to plan and be a little bit more uh thoughtful and cautious uh with how I'm moving. So, that'll be a new thing for the upcoming year.

Uh also number three, street debate in Miami. We've done Houston, phenomenal experience. We've done Atlanta. We made tweaks and improvements. They added a lot of value. And then we want to do Miami. We have a great section there. I'd love to um make our presence known and it'll be it'll be big. And the last piece is making an appearance on a college campus. I've all I don't know how many times I've spoken on this, but the college campus is where you implant ideas to impact the future. So the ism must be on every college campus. So the goal is to make one appearance minimum. Get started on that. But the greater goal is to really have the ism percolating through all of the college campuses. And that is how we actually impact American west actually global culture because let's be real, young Americans, we still have global cultural dominance despite the idiocy of our political class and the things they do to damage the global economy.

Okay, now moving on to section E, echo, habits to practice. Number one, um, market on Twitter to desired demographics. Now, again, the Twitter thing might not work, but if it does, it should be a habit. I should be investing ad units in 20 uh not 2025 or 2026 but in the last year year to date I in some cases spent a lot of money on frivolous things that could have very much so gone to marketing. And this upcoming year, all of those dollars frivolously allocated, which I have no regrets cuz money is the best thing in the world to lose. The best thing. It's not You're not losing a limb, you're not losing a friend, you're not losing a loved one, you're not losing your health. Money is the best thing to lose. That's why when people don't invest in themselves, I'm like, what are you thinking? That was so stupid. Like, you're spending something that you can replace infinitely at an infinite level. Like, why wouldn't you spend it? That's dumb. But that's just me though. I like I know I'm gonna win. So anyways, um habits. Invest in marketing. Spend money on marketing. I'm starting with Twitter. If it works, cool. Pump the money in. If it doesn't, find something else. Pump the money.

Next one. Uh improve quality of worthwhile tasks. For example, uh the black code. If I'm recording videos, I actually want to be in a suit. Uh because I want everything to be pristine. the audio, the aesthetic, the power and authority. As a person who's fairly cerebral, if I'm getting good information, I don't care how you look. I don't care what you look like. I don't care what you're wearing. I don't care what the background is. I almost don't even care if the sound quality is pristine. If the information's good, I'm there. I'm in it like Bennett. But most people are not like that. And so, I think it's worth investing quality on something like that. So, I am going to invest quality on these worthwhile tasks. Now, ironically, 2.1 seems like it's a contradiction, but it's not quite. So, it is do everything immediately and quickly, even if it's sloppy, unless it's relates to the category above. And that's going to allow me to produce faster. It's going to allow me to figure out what works and what doesn't work faster. Now, when you do that, you're going to encounter more embarrassment. And I think it's important for a successful person, especially a man, to be willing to be embarrassed. And that keeps you from being trapped. You see, a lot of people don't they're not willing to fail. They're not willing to make a mistake. And these are losers and cowards. Don't be like that.

So that is the conclusion of my reflection and I trust you know if you are not doing this in front of a microphone um with a live studio audience that probably would be about 20 minutes tops with conversation to whomever you're talking with. You don't have to be talking with someone, but for those of you men uh who have families who have spouses, you have children or good friends, I encourage you to do yours and have them do theirs, especially if their birthday's near yours, but even if it isn't, have them do it and then you guys can go back and forth. You don't necessarily have to take any feedback. You can, but to have someone else hear it and help you workshop it and say, "Well, what does that mean? Is that clear? Is that an actual task? Is that doable? or even check you and say, "Hey, that's some BS." Uh, it's a great value to you. And I encourage you and I also encourage you to keep these documents. And it may also be worth on your reflection day to take a photograph of yourself, see yourself as a as you go through, maybe commission an oil painting. Uh, so we'll see. But we are finalizing our traditions and all the ones we have so far, I think, are very fine.

May I acknowledge uh via Vimmo, Shout to Cam. He writes, "Happy birthday, Saint. You are an inspiration. I'm coming to the big game conference and turning up on the field. Piece of things, bro.

You are wise. I'm lowkey. I'm going to probably grab me a couple things too before I go ahead and turn turn it off. Ladies and saints, it's been an absolute pleasure to have this time to fellowship with you. Let us end this with our tradition, the creed of the assassin. Repeat after me with full conviction, knowing this is true of you. The creed of the assassin. I am going to be who I truly am because I am remarkable and I'm going to strive every moment to show the greatest part of who I am. Until next time, peace to the saints.
