Build your business. But don’t lose your life.

Hey,
This week I turned 39.
Didn’t post much. Didn’t write. Didn’t work.
And honestly? I needed it.
But I still wanted to send this — not a breakdown, just something personal.
If you're building hard in your 20s or 30s, I think this might help..
Not Your Weekly Strategy Playbook
🦄 Some things you only realize after chasing freedom for 15+ years.

I usually send you something tactical.
A playbook, a strategy, a breakdown.
But this week I turned 39 and took a short break, which means no big article today.
Writing those takes time (and I’m on a beach).
Still, I wanted to drop a quick note, especially for my younger subscribers.
Because if you follow me on Twitter, you know I preach:
Build your thing. Escape the system. Be free.
But here’s the truth most people won’t tell you:
Don’t burn yourself out chasing freedom.
I’ve been up and down.
Made good money and felt dead inside.
Been broke and had the time of my life — because I had good people around me.
Money comes and goes. Time doesn’t.
You’ll never be 22, 27, 33 again.
Yes, money can buy options.
But real wealth is owning your time and spending it how you want.
Don’t build a business that becomes your new boss.
Don’t trade one cage for another.
That’s all I wanted to share this week.
And as a small thank-you, if you reply to this email with the kind of business you're building,
I’ll send you a free mini growth plan:
The best channels for you, and why.
Back Tuesday. Will reply then.
— George
