145. New Townhome By June

10:32pm, March 12th, 2024, Desk, UT
I went and got a tour for a townhome I have been looking at to move in to this coming July. The tour went great and much better than expected. The keep it short, this place is a steal for what I need. It’s 200 feet away from a gym, 2000 feet away from a grocery store, 20 minutes closer to my job, and has many features that will be game changing (such as a garage in the state of Utah). I was anticipating and planning for a July move-in. But now, it’s June 1st. Rather than going home to think about it and try to make something happen, I committed right then and there and promised myself I would figure it out. And so I will. And it will happen.

144. Burnout

2:27pm, March 11th, 2024, Car, Work, UT
Before all of this, I was sad as shit and very discouraged. I was living a very depressing life. No wonder I felt the way I did. My escape from that all is hard work, discipline, and fortitude – daily. Burnout is impossible to attain in this scenario because that would ultimately result in going back to where I desperately fled from. I do not want that ever again. The alternative to my grind is that, so it’s an easy one to pass up on. I will not ever quit. I will remain on this path until I die. I don’t know what else to say. This is the true genuine path to real & raw happiness and fulfillment.

143. "Hard" Life Now, Easy Life Later

9:16am, March 10th, 2024, Car, Magna UT
I talk a bit about the “Do what others won’t so you can do what others can’t” quote in the context of my life. Feels good. Life is easier because of it. Because I am willing to work 3 jobs, I have more opportunity, options, and overall freedom. “If you’re working so much you have less freedom!!” I don’t see it from that perspective. I see it as accelerating the “shitty” times so I can get to the glorious ones faster. I’m very proud of myself. I am stoked about everything in life.

142. Two Thoughts

8:14pm, March 9th, 2024, Car & Desk, UT
I keep toying around with the idea that taking virtually any and all advice, compliments, criticism, insults, or praise from anyone not on the same path as you is just a losing play. I don’t know how else to clarify this other than the fact that everyone has their own desires, dreams, goals, and perspective on it all. Anything they say to you is from that perspective, not yours. Therefore its skewed by default. 
The second thought was just taking quitting off the table. I feel sometimes people seek comfort or permission to quit. But if we think that through, and we were really told to quit… would we? 
P.S. Not proud of this one. I don’t want to upload it. Feels half assed and unorganized.

141. Mini Update (Paid Off Loan in Full)

11:07pm, March 8th, 2024, Desk, UT
Big day today. Paid off a $4,000 loan in full. That frees up some monthly income to then be repurposed into other bills to get to $0. Currently on pace to be debt free by late July 2024. Which free’s up a few hundred shy of $1,000 per month. What a relief. Hard work really does pay off huh?
Currently working on core values, reading some books, working on the other podcast, working on supplementation development, working on graphic design work, all while working 3 jobs, hitting the gym, and more. I feel so good when I get shit done. I even thought today “there’s no way in hell I live a life that delivers anything less than what I get now.” Meaning the fulfillment I get in myself from the daily battles I face. No way. I’m here for good. Never give up.

140. Weirdo Vs. Genius

6:55pm, March 7th, 2024, Desk, UT
Peoples reactions and perceptions of you change drastically when you’re in the process of making something happen Vs. when you actually make that something happen. I believe that this story told today is a very small scale to what actually happens with big things in the real world. You’re weird, dumb, overthinking, you name it – until it’s done and it proves to be a better way (or whatever it is you’re doing). In my case, I improved the way tape was held on our carts by saving us 12 seconds of inconvenience per tape transaction. Not a big deal whatsoever. Yet, the reactions of others were promising of the aforementioned theory in this post. 
Which leads me to the final comment of this.
People often critisize what they do not understand. You can’t even be bothered or offended. They just do not understand, and that’s okay.

139. I’m Not Lonely, I Am Alone & Embracing Failure Daily

8:02pm, March 6th, 2024, Desk, UT
I don’t feel lonely. I feel alone. I am on a path that not many other people around me are on. Which sometimes sucks. I am very happy despite everything i said in this podcast, but that doesn’t erase the fact of being objecrtively alone. I am happy with my life and where it’s going because I know with 100% certainty it won’t all be for nothing. I will be able to look back and see that it was all worth it. More than worth it. Like investing $10 and turning it into $10M. Well. Well. Worth it.
I have been embracing sucking and failing often lately. It’s gotten me more accustomed to ignoring and blocking out the annoying comments others make. And simply getting okay with messing up. It’s okay, it’s how you learn and grow. And I think the more I mess up and make a fool of myself, the more I am shown that it doesn’t matter, no one cares after a while, and others perceptions bother me less and less. It’s liberating. It makes me want to go try more things and mess up to further this uncomfortable comfort.
Die or grow.

138. My Budget Now Vs. Jan 2025 & New Home

8:35pm, March 5th, 2024, Desk, UT - @brquse
Yo. Financial Health just got better because I made the choice to work Sundays. Now I only have 2 days off a month, but my financial goals are accelerated. That makes me feel so ecstatic. I am so pumped at there mere thought of that. I’ll be able to pocket about $2,000/mo come Jan of 2025. That is a direct result of me choosing to “work so much” and sacrifice “fun times” with “friends and family.” Shit, I’m happier than I’ve ever been. Why is that? I’m going against social norms fairly heavily right now. And I’m thriving? Guess I’m a weird social outcast with delusional dreams. 
New apartment/condo/townhome soon. New place, new location, very hyped. Wouldn’t be here if I chose to game all day and not spend my “free time” grinding. You also wouldn’t be hearing about this if I never made the switch to commit to personal excellence. 
Life is great, and I am so happy.

137. It's Who You Become In The Process & yOuRe gOiNg tO gEt bUrNt oUt!

7:53pm, March 4th, 2024
Self doubts. I don’t know if my idea is a good idea. But I’m not going to let this self doubt sabotage everything. Who I become in the process is the reward. Even if it is a shit idea and a bad strategy. By pursuing everything, I will gain skills, knowledge, and experience. That is nothing but good. I try to keep this frame of mind with everything now. Even if the reward of my commitments explode and I get nothing, or I feel like it was for nothing, I will be a better person in the end. And that itself is the reward.

136. Misalignment in Public Identity

6:36pm, March 3rd, 2024, Desk, UT
What an Intro. What an Outro. Good lord. Here’s the exact thing I wrote and followed to read and record: 
Welcome back to the bq.Daily show where I document the day to day of personal growth, building discipline, raising the standard, building a business from the ground up, and sharing my perspective on it all as I go.
I’ve committed to doing one of these every single day until episode #7305 which will be the 20-year anniversary of the show.
My goal with all of this is to showcase the day to day of a man who desires more out of life who refuses to quit. 
It is my hope that through documenting the journey it will inspire, help, guide, or serve as proof for anyone looking to get more out of life.
If I can do it, so can you. You just have to start.
That’s it for today, thanks for listening. And as a daily, reminder this podcast does not focus on sound, quality, or professionalism as much as it does just getting a message out, sharing my wins and losses, and documenting the day to day through it all. 
So If you want to keep up with me, it would be awesome if you could give this show a follow on the platform you are listening on as well as a rating or review. Support this early on goes such a long way. Thanks again and I’ll see you tomorrow.
So ass.
But I did it, again, to prove you can just start and figure it out along the way. Now we have a reference point to compare and look back on when it gets better and more improved; whenever that may be.
I think insecurities arise (in the context of doing things in front of others) because we speak to the camera, the mic, the listeners, or whatever in a way that is not congruent with how speak to others in real life.
Example: I never talk to anyone In real life about self development or bettering myself via doing difficult and uncomfortable things. It makes me feel pretentious. Ergo, talking about that stuff, period, is what triggers the insecurities.
It’s not that you are camera shy or are afraid to speak in front of others, it’s that you are speaking from an identity that others don’t recognize. Certain topics create the discomfort.
The people listening or watching don’t have context to know that’s not normal of you to be so shy of these topics. They’re seeing or hearing you for the first time. 
But your friends and family know you. And if you aren’t regularly talking about the thing you’re talking about in your content, it is “novel stimuli” to them. In other words, they’ve been so accustomed to you being one way that being any other way is foreign to them. It’s weird. They don’t understand. 
And because you feel that and know it’s uncommon, the discomfort and insecurities arise.
