To tell you the truth, I don't give a shit about whether or not I buy the Jets. But now, since I've painted that narrative, everybody is going to really freak out when I actually do buy the team.
But, what I actually love more than the thought of buying the Jets, is the actually process. I love the climb. I've written about it before, that the day that I actually buy the Jets, is going to make me so upset, because then, the climb is "over."
In creating such a heavy north star, I never have to reset my goals. I'm a very big shoot for the moon, land on the clouds type of guy. Always having that north star has allowed me to be a much more honorable and legacy-driven entrepreneur because now I'm trying to reach this gigantic goal of mine.
This north star that I've set for myself is more so a mechanism I use for a lot of things; Not only do the Jets represent to me what it meant to become an American, but it's also the ultimate Kickstarter. If I get to an age where I don't think I can buy the Jets on my own, I believe that my building of this narrative will guilt people into helping me make that dream come true ๐Ÿ™‚

    What is the current price tag on the Jets? ๐Ÿ˜› I'd actually like to think I'd pitch in to that kickstarter.

    Love your stuff Gary! I think climbing up the mountain of personal success is what provides real happiness and not necessarily the view on top of the mountain itself!:)

    Short skirts in the workplace is not professional.ย  Short skirts on fat chicks (like we see in the video) ANYWHERE is totally inappropriate and should be outlawed.

    If people knew my real north star they might think I was clinically insane. Thinking I'll have to build a little more cred before letting that cat out the bag…
