As we start a new month, I think I should share with you, again, an ancient secret that has transcended eras.
If you woke up this morning with clouds of palpitations, exhausted because your repeatable actions aren't fruiting -- you might want to open this.
Again, up to you.

There's no one who has significantly changed the trajectory of their lives that didn't have a/multiple "build season(s)"
A build season is an isolation system where you shut everyone out, shut societal distractions, recline into a zone where you focus solely on yourself.

For some people, their build season is 6 months; for others it is 1 year, my first one was for 18 months.
Your family looks for you, they can't find you -- in a build season, there's only one focus [YOU]
After all, unfortunately, you're of use to your family if you're useful.

My first significant build season was months before I left +234.
I shut off friends, social media, told my family I'd be unreachable till I'm reachable, I quit a FT role and only worked on contracts.
I was exhausted - I activated my build season and evaluated daily actions.

Actions become habits -
Habits become a character -
Characters morph into a personality -
Your personality determines what you get out of life.
This is the directional flow.
If I could tweak my actions, the effect will trickle down to what my personality becomes, cum outputs.

In my first build season, my evaluation was:
I didn't know as much as I thought I did - knowledge bank was running dry or repetitive.
My skill set was getting saturated - I didn't have an edge.
My eating habits was bunkers.
Not physically and mentally fit?
That's trouble.

To be effective, you need to be honest, at least with yourself.
I started every day with 90 minutes at the gym. I wasn't working out with music in my ears, it was podcasts - science, finance, philosophy.
I found Stoicism.
As I was working my body, I was working my mind.

I'd come home to my unfinished contracts, clean them out ater that, I'd turn the internet upside down applying everywhere for scholarships.
I'm saying 3-5 hours of exhausting applications.
Every build season needs a goal with a workable plan. Journalled.
My goal was simple.

My goal was simple - I hated my body, hated the shallow conversations I was having, the lack of insights I brought to them and I wanted to leave +234 DESPERATELY.
Out of that build season, I came with a healthier body, a sounder mind, 7 scholarship offers & a visa.
It works.

The exhilarating truth about life is, on birth, God handed the remainder of the clay He used in moulding you, into your hands.
You can mould your life as you please - you should.
My tweet on my cover photo is potent.
"There's nothing you aspire to that is beyond your reach"

There's only one way to enter a build season -- Alone.
As a christian, you'll remember Jesus' instruction to the disciples on ascension -- He orders them into a city. To do what? To wait.
"Wait until you're endued with power" -- He said.
That was their build season.

In a build season, new repeatable actions are learnt - these actions transform into habits, habits that births a new personality.
Now you read more, work out more, operate effectively without distractions
What you do in your build season >> how long your build season lasts for.

In a man's life, he can have as many build seasons as possible.
Once you sense a loss of purpose, an exhaustion, activate a build season.
I want to see men who are physically fit, mentally sound, useful to their families and enjoying life.
I want you to win.
