One of the biggest rules I live by in life, and how I live my life is...
(this is more than true with how I run my business and work-life especially)
# DON'T BE BORING OR GET BORED!!!šššš¤£

Just don't. It doesn't work very well. When you are bored you donāt get good things done, and you arenāt creative like you need to be when running a business or when you are trying to make money.
One of the things I like to focus on in business is having FUN. Almost no one talks about this. Business is supposed to be fun.
In fact, in my experience, the more fun I have the more $$$ I make.

## Why itās Important to Not Be Boring.
### 1. Boring people tend to make less money.
If you read my whole teaching about luck then youāll understand this. The more dynamic and interesting you are, the more likely people are to reach out to YOU when they need something done.
The more unique you are, the more likely you are to the be the first person people think of when they need a job done or want to give someone money.
Think of the deep-sea diver analogy from the luck issue. If youāre the best deep-sea diver in the world, youāre going to get the call when someone discovers treasure in a shipwreck.
Yes, this has something to do with skill development in this situation. But it also has to do with not being boring.
**Do you know whoās not boring?** The guy whoās done hundreds or thousands of shipwreck deep-sea dives all over the world. Do you think heās going to have some fascinating stories to tell? Do you think heās going to have visited some crazy places? Yes, and heāll be rewarded for it monetarily. Heās also rewarded in real-time every moment heās creating amazing experiences. Thereās intrinsic value in doing interesting things. Then money tends to follow.
I have the same type of thing with my videos online. If someone wants a funny sales video done they come to me. Or they go to the Harmon Brothers. If they wanted someone to do a parody within the marketing space theyād reach out to me before anyone else.
You get the pointā¦Iāll tell you a cool story about Trevor Noah and Dave Chapelle that demonstrates this as well. Itās a bit of a simpler example that perfectly demonstrates why itās so valuable to not be boring.
### 2. Boring people tend to have less friends.
No one has ever said "Iām super stoked to hang out with that really boring guy." Or "Letās meet up with Tim. Heās boring AF."
I think weāve all had that experience of a conversation that goes like this:
"What do you think of Tim?"
"Oh man, such a nice guy. GREAT guy. Really good guy."
"Yeah, agreed. Should we see if he wants to hang out tonight?"
"Absolutely not. Great guy, so nice. But heās just too boring."
Thereās nothing wrong with being super nice. In fact itās one of my highest values in people. But sometimes someone is just so damn nice itās boring. Be kind. But donāt be boring!
### 3. The boring person is rarely sharp of mind.
If you have a project youāre working on and need to hire someone, youāre unlikely to immediately think of the boring person, but you think of an interesting person.
### 4. Being boring is that... it's boring!
A boring life is not a life worth living in my not-so-boring opinion. Life is meant to be lived. Youāre meant to create experiences that are worth remembering.
We have no idea how long weāre going to be on this planet. There are so many things that can rob of us of our life in a matter of seconds, days, or months. A car accident. Natural disaster. Cancer. Injury. Illness.
This isnāt morbid thinking. Itās freeing. We may not be here for long. We may as well make the most of it while weāre here.
Most people die a little every day while theyāre alive. Iād rather live fully until I die.
My belief is that youāll also probably live a lot longer if youāre not dying a little inside every day or stressing out always.
