3 Value Bombs
1) When you pursue some goals too hard, you could be sacrificing other parts of your business, your life, your health, your relationships.
2) It’s easy to get entrenched in the wrong business accidentally growing in the wrong way or growing too quickly. And once you have that overhead, then it can be difficult to navigate your way through this era of technological change and cultural change, social change.
3) No matter what happens, keep going. A lot of us as humans are worried about the developments in AI that are kind of replacing a lot of the parts of our humanity. So keep in mind that you always get to define what your purpose is, why you’re here and what matters.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How to Achieve Longevity as a Creator and Entrepreneur
[1:04] – Abel shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- Success is waking up without an alarm. If your definition of success also includes kicking back, then it’s important to also take that time for yourself as well as well as with your loved ones from time to time.
[2:15] – How can we stay nimble amidst all this technological change?
- It’s easy to get entrenched in the wrong business accidentally growing in the wrong way or growing too quickly. And once you have that overhead, then it can be difficult to navigate your way through this era of technological change and cultural change, social change.
- It’s really important to say no at the right time, even to your own projects that you loved dearly. These business ventures are there for a season.
- It’s important to double down on the things that are working and also take a step back from those things that might be a bit outdated.
[3:51] – Tapping the brakes is essential for progress.
- Try to identify the things that you’re extremely excited about that your business is well suited to pursue. It will be a lot easier to work hard and not feel like you’re working that hard.
- Look at everything that you’re doing. Try to whittle down the things that just don’t work that well anymore.
[5:23] – The way to balance both performance and longevity in business.
- If you want to achieve longevity not just in business but in life, it’s important to keep your eye on the ball as it relates to where your health is at.
- You don’t want to cut your life short. You want to spend quality time with those you love and be there so that your business can continue its mission as long as possible.
- It’s about waking up, going out in the sunshine, and being physically active in a small way throughout the day.

[13:08] – Choosing where you live can dramatically improve your longevity.
- When you look at longevity from a lifestyle perspective, it’s really all about connecting with those people who you love. The social connections are really the thread that runs through these populations that tend to live for a long time.
- One of the important things in maintaining your health and happiness is prioritizing time with your friends and family. These relationships and friendships are nourishing to our mind, body, and soul.
[16:24] – For businesses when you plateau, you’re dying because if you’re not growing, you’re dying. Why is it important to know our own definition of the word “enough.”
- If you’re already making hundreds of thousands or certainly millions of dollars, you’ll have a chance to evaluate what you can cut out to spend time as a soul on this Earth.
- Taking that mini sabbatical can help keep us sane and help us reevaluate what we want to get into in the future.
[19:42] – No matter what we achieve, we actually never arrive. How can we handle this reality?
- It’s very advantageous for anyone who is trying to achieve something to realize that no matter how far you get and what you achieve, it is always going to serve you to be process based or practice based.
- When you pursue some goals too hard, you could be sacrificing other parts of your business, your life, your health, your relationships.
[22:11] – Abel’s key take away and call to action.
- No matter what happens, keep going. A lot of us as humans are worried about the developments in AI that are kind of replacing a lot of the parts of our humanity. So keep in mind that you always get to define what your purpose is, why you’re here and what matters.
