Baby Jack is here.
Michelle is now officially a boy mom.
And such an incredibly inspiring, strong woman...
She gave birth at 7:51am last Friday and was on her "Travel Hacking" coaching call at 3pm while Jack slept.
More details (and a business lesson) about the birth soon...
For now, Mama Michelle is focused on stepping into her “Hockey Mom” era.
While that’s still a few months away… ;)
We’re already cheering him on.
Mr. Jack Ballantyne. This is everything.
The Ballantyne Family is complete.
Three girls, two boys.
My full house.
I’ve achieved my Perfect Life Vision created in 2019…
My extreme clarity led to my extreme results.
First Michelle, then the girls, now Baby Jack.
My crystal-clear vision was one of the first things that many of our clients learned about me when they read the Perfect Day Formula… often years before they became coaching clients.
Funny story…
The Vision section of that book is so vivid that many readers didn’t realize I was talking about my future…
Many PDF readers who met me over the years (before I met Michelle) assumed I was already married to someone named "TK" and that I had children.
So vivid was my vision that everyone could see me already living it.
I worry that might be the missing link for you…
Your vision is not clear enough…
And when you have discipline but no clarity…
You become a Lost Warrior.
You’re willing to grind and hustle…
You’re “doing all the things” because you heard they had to be done…
You’re creating content for 9 social media sites… you’ve got a podcast, you’re working on a book, you’re building funnels, you’re plotting a YT channel…
And you become a lost warrior on a deserted island where you know there is buried treasure…
But you don’t have a map with X marking the spot.
And so you run hither and yon…
Up that mountain, then back down…
You dig here… you dig there…
You’re working so hard you’re frothing at the mouth…
Like a rabid dog acting wild and frantic until you collapse from exhaustion.
But you’re a warrior… you’re disciplined!
And so you get up the next day – still lost – and keep grinding.
You say “yes, Yes, YES!” and never “no, No, NO!”
You grind and you hustle…
Until one day you can’t.
You get knocked down so hard you’re paralyzed with stress or anxiety.
I know.
I was once a Lost Warrior.
It was years ago…
Before I discovered the power of clarity…
Before I wrote the Perfect Day Formula book…
Before I created my treasure map…
I was just a wild lost warrior…
Looked the part, too.
5’9”, 194 pounds, 9% body fat, 6-pack abs, 225 bench press for 14 reps (my favorite “Gym Bro” statistic)
Like a Men’s Health Cover Model.
That was how I looked the day I had my first anxiety attack
But anxiety doesn’t care about your abs.
Anxiety doesn’t care about your hustle or your grind.
In fact, it feeds on it.
As a disciplined (but lost) warrior…
You were game for that challenge when you were young.
But many of the people reading this email are not so young anymore.
Neither am I.
I don’t have time to waste in the ER getting calmed down by nurses.
I don’t have 4 weeks to spend doing hours of yoga, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong daily to get back to equilibrium like I did in 2006.
I don’t have time to be a Lost Warrior.
Neither do you.
Fortunately, clarity fixes all.
When you do my Values & Vision exercises…
When you get clarity on what matters…
It gives you your treasure map.
You see an “X” marking the spot.
And so now, my Warrior, with your strength, stamina, and speed…
You can move rapidly in the direction of your dreams.
You get to that X with surgical precision.
You dig with efficiency.
You strike gold.
Like my clients Sal, Frank, Isabel, Boris, and even the legendary Bedros Keuilian…
They came to me as lost warriors…
Now they’ve all built 7-figure, 8-figure, and 9-figure empires.
And they’ve done so without sacrificing themselves or their family life.
In fact, they’ve done so while making more time for what matters — their kids, their date nights, their epic vacations, and their own sense of peace.
“Better to be a Clarity Warrior in a garden, than a Lost Warrior on a battlefield”
… or however that old saying goes. ;)
All you need is your Vision. And I’ve dedicated my life to showing you how to gain that clarity.
So my challenge to you is this:
- Set aside 20-30 minutes of undisturbed time this weekend…
- Go back and re-read chapter 21 of my book, Perfect Day Formula (you can download the digital copy right here for FREE)...
- And use the exercise + 15 prompt questions I lay out in that chapter to create YOUR OWN Vivid Vision for what your Perfect Life looks like I promise if you do this… And make a point of reviewing your vision and taking some sort of action each day (no matter how big or small)… 6 months, a year, 5 years from now — you will look back and be absolutely blown away by all that you’ve achieved. It will feel like magic but I promise you it’s not… That's just how the beautiful combination of Having Clarity + Taking Action works. All I ask… … is that you reach out and let me know when you’ve arrived at your big goals.
I can't wait to congratulate you. Success Loves Speed, Craig
PS - If you’re ready to 2X your income (or more) while working 10 less hours per week...
