Every morning, we gather here to contemplate, plan, soak up inspiration, harvest motivation, and get jacked up on coffee and confidence for a day of kicking ass.
MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY WE ARE BACK IN THIS BITCH. I HOPE YOU ALL HAD YOURSELVES A WEEKEND. I KNOW I DID. I TOOK NAPS LIKE A BOSS, SAW A MEDIOCRE ASS MOVIE, DID A LITTLE DANCE, MADE A LITTLE LOVE, HIT OUR SAVED BY THE BRUNCH PARTY HARD ON SUNDAY, ATE LIKE A KING, AND TOPPED IT OFF WITH A ROCKETS WIN OVER THE DEFENDING CHAMPS LAST NIGHT. GOOD STUFF ALL AROUND. BUT NOW IT’S BACK TO THE GRIND. AIN’T NO REST FOR CLOSERS WHEN THAT WORKWEEK ROLLS AROUND. WE GET BACK TO IT LIKE WE NEVER LEFT. YOU KNOW THE DRILL. MAKE YOURSELF A HOT CUP OF COFFEE, CRACK YOUR KNUCKLES, DO SOME FINGER STRETCHES, AND ASSAULT THAT KEYBOARD, PHONE, OR WHATEVER TOOL OF THE TRADE YOU USE TO MAKE MONEY STACKS HIGH AS THE CEILING.
What’s on your schedule this morning? What are you going to conquer today? Let us know in the comments section below. Positivity only. Build the energy. Come correct or don’t come at all..

My newborn has his first doctor appointment today. And since sleep is now just an old friend I used to know, I’m going to be crushing this with some sweet dark nectar.
HELL YEAH. POUND THAT COFFEE AND RAISE THAT KID. YOU’RE REALLY DOING IT!
Congrats on the procreation sex like 10 months ago!
Tentative schedule for Monday March 13th:
Twitter session
Daily intelligence briefing
Healthcare discussion with HR
Speaking with other CEO’s by telephone
Lunch with Master Chef Bobby Flay
Meeting with Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Steve Harvey
Just switched to morning workouts. Fought the urge to puke the whole way to work
Bold move for daylight savings time
Been on that grind for a minute. Great way to start the day, but SO difficult to consistently put in good effort.
Been in the office for over an hour already, woke up with a hard cider hangover after my date with lady sexiness last night. Shot a lookbook for New Balance’s 247 Classics this weekend, currently wearing them and they are comfy as fuck. I feel like absolute dried dog shit right now but I’m managing. Had the office handicap bathroom all to myself earlier which was fucking fantastic (I can use it and not feel bad since I’m crippled still….gonna milk this lifestyle as long as I can). Salary talks will commence today regarding my recent promotion, gonna ask for a fat raise and probably get denied which I will then counter with a 4 weeks vacation request and probably get denied again, if that’s the case then I might just give up while I’m ahead and go be one of those guys with crutches that asks for change at red lights with a sign that reads “Quit the corporate world for a life of spontaneity and soul, give me a quarter or I’ll…something, something your wife’s hole.” (This will narrow my demographic to a much smaller size and most likely lead to me starving to death) 🙂
Those NBs looked pretty dope on Instagram, but how much of that was your professional magic vs the shoes actually looking good?
Thanks man. Honestly, I think the shoes look pretty cool, they’re def retro and monotone but still have a good look to them. They kind of reminded me of a revamped old school NB show that you’d see on an old dude with the Velcro straps lol. They’re kinda like Nikes
I haven’t stopped drinking coffee since Friday morning. Fairly certain my life is spiraling out of control.
Signed the papers for my promotion this morning, celebrating with a hot cup of the good stuff
Deal sleds on, hair slicked, cold brew in hand. Ready to close some deals before this Northeast blizzard.
This “spring forward” bullshit isn’t taking easily… extra cup will be needed to make it through the day
Short work week for me, Billy. Should hammer out a few deals today and tomorrow before heading to sunny San Diego for some engagement pictures, cake testing, and maybe some premarital sex in the same house as the future in laws (gotta live on the edge somehow, ya know). Have a blessed Monday everyone.
95% chance my office doesn’t close for the storm so I’m caffeinated up and going to do as much shit as possible so I can watch Unsolved Mysteries all day at work tomorrow and Wednesday.
