Special Operations Forces: 100% grit and grind? Not true.We lived by a different code: 👇
“Humor et Labor.” In SOF, we pushed beyond limits.Performed when failure wasn’t an option. But here’s what most don’t know: We partied. Hard. Those “unofficial” gatherings? They weren’t just parties. They were necessary pressure valves. Where:– Tensions dissolved into laughter– Barriers broke down into brotherhood– Stress joked away and transformed into stories Our commander understood…

They say “Good things come to those who wait.”They’re wrong. 👇
Good things come to those who act. This isn’t your life’s dress rehearsal.There is no “preview” mode.No practice round.No warm-up act. Right now – this moment – is the youngest you’ll ever be. THIS IS IT. Tomorrow won’t bring more energy.Next year won’t bring more time.“Someday” isn’t a date in your calendar. – That health…

I gained 15 kilos in 3 years. From Six-pack to Beer belly.The surprising thing? 👇
I never realized it. I thought it was normal. That’s how far I drifted from who I was.Special Operations Forces to… comfortable civilian. 2005: Left the service, moved to Spain.The dream, right?Sun, beach, and “working a bit” in our business. Reality?– Grinding 24/7 and Stress– Endless BBQs and Rivers of wine– Zero physical training The…

Half dead, feet bleeding. Last meters. March on. Family and friends cheering. I am a Commando now…
My life split in two:Before: Drifting without directionAfter: Purpose laser-burned into my DNA Before: Had friendsAfter: Found my Tribe An instant upgrade. One day off.Next day on. But here’s what they don’t tell you that day: It’s not a career. It’s your identity. It’s for life. Yes, you get the brotherhood.Yes, you get the pride.Yes,…

25 years ago, as a Commando candidate, I had it all wrong.I thought being elite meant running the fastest or lifting the heaviest.
Just like many think Success is just about the biggest bank account. Man….., was I wrong. Some of the real qualities that make exceptional operators?– Razor-sharp situational awareness– Flawless team integration– Fast adaptation Here’s what I learned later on in Special Operation Forces: Elite performers aren’t satisfied with mastering just one thing. They’re constantly asking:…

What’s the one thing every man regrets on their deathbed?It’s not what you think. 👇
Everyone dies. But not everyone truly lives. Even worse? Not everyone lives the way they dreamed they would. I discovered this in “The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying” by Bronnie Ware.This book hit me hard. Bronnie was an Australian nurse. She spent eight years with people in their final months. Just listening. Just being…

In Special Forces, we never operated alone. Ever. Why not? 👇
Because even elite operators need backup. Every mission had an entire support structure behind it: • Quick Reaction Force and Air Support standing by• Intelligence teams feeding us real-time information• Medical evacuation ready to launch Fast forward 20 years. As I coach high-performing entrepreneurs and executives, I see a concerning pattern: They’re trying to fight…

Becoming a Special Operations Officer ✅ Building 7- and 8-figure businesses ✅ What do they have in common? 👇
Both require Extreme Focus. 8 seconds. That’s your attention span right now. A goldfish can focus for 9. Time is your most valuable asset. It is finite. Most of us are bleeding time out, one notification at a time: • 147 minutes on social media daily• Up to 96 phone checks per day• 3.1 hours…

As a Special Forces officer, every mission followed the same format. Now, I apply these same principles to succeed in life… 👇
– Intell– Planning– Execution– After Action Review Yet I watch high performers do the exact opposite in life:• Racing from deal to deal, charging toward burnout• Sprinting through relationships• No plan. No pause. No situational awareness. In Special Forces, this approach gets people killed.In business and life, it slowly kills everything that truly matters to…
