The Duck Lyf Chose Me 🦆

Hey Champ,

I’ve been embracing my hippy self lately.

Going through a cycle of slowing down.

And getting strategic about how I slow down.

Yesterday I told you about a little human being who kicked me into running 10km.

Well, I’ve been spending more time outdoors too.

There’s so much around Cyprus, left unexplored.

Last week we went to a nearby park.

Walked through the trees, did some bird watching and enjoyed some fresh air.

As Entrepreneurs, we’re always looking to hustle.

But resting as hard as you work is a must.

Because in the digital age, we’re swamped with:

Notifications
Messages to respond to
Tasks to do
People to service
Ideas to write and execute

And the list goes on.

Yet we forget we’re only at the age we are — once.

And I’ve previously had 3 years of just “blinking” and watching the year go by.

This time I make a conscious decision to turn things off at least 2 days a week.

And come back fully charged to start a new week.

Even if it takes learning duck lingo — which isn’t on Duolingo so it makes it slightly harder.

This is all thanks to having The Modern Maker Model dialled in.

I choose when to turn it on, and when to turn it off.

But at the core, the well-oiled machine does the heavy lifting while I make the choices of what to do in a life sense.

I’ve distilled it into 3 steps.

Those 3 steps are available for another 48 hours inside The Lazy Path To $3,000.

And you can quack 🦆 them up here:

Power to you,
Jacob “duck life” Pegs
