Slay the Dragon, Unlock the Treasure š„š²
Hey Income Flippers,
This week Iāve been thinking a lot about dragons. Not the fire-breathing kind (although those would be easier to spot)ā¦
Iām talking about the ones that live within us.
They guard the gates to the life we say we wantāthe freedom, the wealth, the impact, the peace. Joseph Campbell said it best: āThe cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.ā
But firstā¦thereās a dragon at the door.
Iāve faced my fair share.
There was the Dragon of Doubt ā when I left Keller Williams after 17 years. The voice that said, āAre you sure? Youāre walking away from safety.ā
There was the Dragon of Control ā that showed up when I started delegating and building teams.
The lie that whispered, āNo one can do it like you.ā
And the Dragon of Distraction ā that pops up even today, tempting me to chase shiny objects instead of staying locked into the mission.
But hereās what Iāve learned:
š² The dragon always guards the treasure.
ā”ļø On the other side of fear is clarity.
ā”ļøOn the other side of resistance is reward.
ā”ļøOn the other side of the dragon is...freedom.
If youāre reading this, youāre on the path.
You didnāt subscribe to this newsletter to play small.
Youāre building somethingāa business, a portfolio, a life by design.
But youāll never get to the treasure without confronting the beast inside.
So today I want to ask you:
ā What dragon are you slaying right now?
The dragon of procrastination?
The dragon of comparison?
The dragon of burnout?
The dragon of financial fear?
Whatever it isāname it, face it, fight it.
Because there is no path to the next level that doesnāt pass through discomfort.
And I promise you:
When you slay the dragon, you donāt just get the treasure...
āYou become the kind of person who can keep it.
