💡 QUOTE OF THE DAY: “People who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” — Rob Siltanen, American entrepreneur
THE BIG IDEA
The ultimate “sticky” situation to be in
Three years ago, Jason Siu was in high school, selling vinyl stickers online to be able to afford parts for his car. Can you guess where he’s at currently?
In an extraordinary twist of fate, the 21-year-old college student is still selling stickers, among other car accessories, and making $ 500k a year. That’s right: his side hustle, called Invalid.jp, blew up after one of his products, a customizable LED-lined rearview mirror, was pictured in a viral TikTok video. While the video was circulating, Jason made $ 12k from his LED-lined mirrors in one day. 🚗
At first, Jason ran his business from inside his parents’ two-bedroom apartment. Eventually, though, he had to rent a warehouse to stock his products (which he buys wholesale and then customizes). His mom and girlfriend also had to step in and help in the managing and packing of orders, as Jason juggles running a business and studying full time. 🎲

Do you have a task with a quickly approaching deadline? Do this first!
Do you need to prepare for a meeting next week? Don’t neglect it until the last minute; task this as mid-priority.
Are you completing routine tasks? List these as mid-priority tasks, too.
Anything else can be completed after your important tasks.
