The Pizza Delivery Lesson |
The other day, I ordered a pizza and the delivery guy showed up about 20 minutes late.
When he finally arrived, he looked completely frazzled and said:
That one line stuck with me. Because in business (and in life), rushing usually creates more of a mess than actual progress.
Sometimes, slowing down is actually the fastest way to move forward. You donβt waste time fixing avoidable mistakes, and you give yourself space to do it right the first time.
So if youβre feeling βbehindβ this week, donβt sprint.
Youβll still get there β and your βpizzaβ will look great when it arrives.

From Chaos to Clarity – My Affiliate Marketing Wake-Up Call |
A few years back, I remember sitting at my desk staring at what felt like a digital tornado.
I had tabs open for βthe hottest niches of the yearββ¦ five different affiliate networksβ¦ a spreadsheet of βmust-promoteβ productsβ¦ and about 27 sticky notes of random βmillion-dollarβ ideas.
Guess how much money I was making?
Not much.
See, hereβs the trap I fell into (and maybe youβve been there too): I thought digital marketing was just about grabbing the latest product link, posting it, and waiting for commissions to roll in.
But what I learned β the hard way β is that real success comes from building something steady, not scattered.
π Choosing a niche you can actually stick with.
Once I slowed down, put the pieces together, and built a real system, things started to click. Sales became more consistent. My email list grew. And most importantly β I wasnβt chained to randomness anymore.
Hereβs the thing: it doesnβt have to be complicated or expensive. In fact, one of the best places to start is with a simple $7 investment that gives you the blueprint to set up your first (or next) digital funnel the right way.
Because once you have the right system, itβs not about hoping or guessing anymore. Itβs about creating predictable results month after month.
So let me ask you: |

Final Thoughts | ||
This week is all about stepping back from the rush and the clutter. Sometimes, progress isnβt about doing more β itβs about slowing down and doing the right things with clarity.
Your pizza doesnβt need to arrive messy. Your ideas donβt need to pile up until they overwhelm you. Take it slow. Simplify. And watch how much faster the right results show up.
Until next week..... Lane Evans

This or Something Better β My Favorite Mindset Shift for Life and BusinessIβve been using this simple little phrase for years, and itβs completely changed the way I approach goals, projects, and opportunities. The phrase? βThis or something better.β Real Growth Doesnβt Make Noise (At First)The biggest shifts didnβt happen when everything was going great. They happened when I kept showing up β even when it felt like no one was watching. There were days I felt lost in the process. |
