That's a bunch of the Rock Star Inner Circle VIP Group out for dinner last night at a Hibachi restaurant in Mississauga.
And we got patio weather for it!
Sipping drinks outside in the sun is still one of life's best, simple joys.
This group is turning into something much more than a group of real estate investors.
This is a group of people choosing how to live (more on that in a second).
We get together to talk about life, investing, mindset, health, curating your professional network, setting up "Plan B" for income and tax jurisdiction, etc.
How this has evolved has been fascinating.
What started as a group doubling down on their real estate has turned into a network of people looking to support, push, and encourage each other to achieve their best lives.
It's rare.
And it's inspiring.
Last night I had conversations about investing in Ghana, Costa Rica, Detroit, Timmins, Toronto, Croatia, Panama, and Grand Cayman.
We also had discussions on SpaceX, Bitcoin, artificial intelligence, careers, and the future of employment.
Someone just came back from Fiji, another couple from China.
We have data scientists in the group, police officers, firefighters, fertility doctors, physiotherapists, commercial realtors, and more.
It's an honour to be a part of it.
And last week we released the first draft of the Your Life! Your Terms! Blueprint.
We've wanted to share this 10-point framework for how to set up your life for maximum freedom during economic uncertainty for some time.
And now it's out there.
We'll be releasing it to the entire Rock Star Membership shortly.
You want a blueprint to guide how you build your life, because without one you fall into the rut of expectations.
And those expectations are often not your own. And usually... those expectations...suck.
The way you choose to live your life, the people you surround yourself with, and the mindset you choose for yourself matters.
You are in control of your life.
Full control.
You can create the reality around you if you take on the responsibility for doing so and don't get stuck accepting what society expects of you.
Today, your life is a perfect reflection of all the choices you have made over the last 5 to 10 years.
Life is a mirror, reflecting back what you, yourself, have created it to be.
Recently @thedankoe shared this passage on X.com, and it's worth spending some serious time pondering:
If you don't find a purpose, you will be assigned one.
If you don't have a goal so meaningful it makes other people's opinions irrelevant, you will lose control of your life. You will adopt the goals assigned to you by your parents, peers, or society.
This is one of the most important decisions you can make in your life. The bold decision to reject the path you were set on at birth. The default path.
You will crave the certain route. You will feel the pull to follow the herd. You will be convinced that others' goals are more important than your own. Let go of it all.
Trust in the process of error correction.
Choose your own direction. F**k it all up. Make massive mistakes. Then choose a better direction and repeat the process for the rest of your life.
You'll turn out just fine.
Your life is a piece of art that you control.
Do NOT accept mediocre. Do NOT accept the path most travelled.
Choose to live your life as a perfect expression of your unique gifts to the world.
We all benefit when we each share our unique gifts with the world.
We raise the consciousness of ourselves, our families, and friends by doing so.
And if enough of us do it, we raise the consciousness of our communities.
See you next week, everyone!
Tom & Nick
