THE APPETIZER Patrick’s Big Test (Can I Actually Disconnect?)

Next week, I’m heading back down to Central America with my significant other. Starting from Nicaragua and winding our way down to the bottom of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula.

Here’s the kicker: I’m taking my first real week off work in over 5 years. No Slack. No Zoom. No email. Honestly, I’m partly excited and partly terrified. Consider this my personal stress test: Can I actually unplug without imploding?

Burnout is sneaky. Every time it creeps in, it feels bigger.. So in response…my solutions get more drastic. This time, it's a total communication blackout. 

During this trip, I’ll be reflecting deeply on the questions I've laid out in today's Main Course.

The goal? 

To come back with some fresh clarity and answers that I will share in the end of month edition of the Sauce.

Thank you all for continuing to join me on this Saucy journey, and see you on the other side of my adventure. 

Now kick back, relax, and as always…. Enjoy my sauce.

📊Interesting Read: How long people live in each country:(RANKED)

This is the quote I am keeping in the back of my mind as I take the upcoming week to think about everything going on in my personal and professional life.

If you are like me, you often obsess over gaps in knowledge.

(The what you DON’T KNOW’s of the world.)  

But rarely challenge what has already been accepted as truth.

(The “I KNOW THIS” in our lives.)

Our strongest-held beliefs are the most dangerous, simply because we stop scrutinizing them. 

I invite you to join me if you have 10min in your calendar to pick a belief you're absolutely sure about, something foundational. See if it still stands firm or if it's a broken belief that is holding you back….

Ps. - This might take more than just 10min.

Some Sauce For Thought

THE MAIN COURSE:

Before we dive in I figured a nice WARNING would be fair to provide ahead of time due to the fact that this list might just get you questioning everything you are doing as it has for me. 

The good news is that….If you recall the quote above… That might just be exactly what you need. ENJOY. 

(PS. At the end I include all of these in a FREE downloadable workbook for you to go through yourself.) ⬇️ ⬇️

Personal & Character Questions

1. If I could start from scratch, would I rebuild my life exactly the way it is today?

2. Am I chasing my own dreams or someone else’s version of success?

3. Which of my beliefs or opinions have I stopped questioning? Which of them need to be reexamined? 

4. What do I consistently avoid, and what uncomfortable truths might it reveal about me?

5. Am I living the advice I'd give to my best friend?

6. Have I confused being busy with being impactful?

7. What am I not doing that would bring me 2x the amount of happiness but would not sacrifice my wellbeing or professional careers? 

8. Am I surrounded by people that make me the best version of myself? 

9. What are my largest blind spots? What am I doing to make them visible

Professional & Career Questions

10. Is what I am working on, what I want to be doing? 

11. What is the one thing that would change everything, if decided to act on it? 

12. If money wasn’t an issue, would I still build the same companies or pursue the same career?

13. What is the real reason behind why I work so relentlessly: Is it passion, fear, or habit?

14. Who in my professional circle genuinely challenges me, and who simply agrees?

15. If I had only one year left to build something meaningful, what would I choose to create?

16. How much of my professional identity is tied to external validation

Startups & Growth Questions

17. What widely accepted startup advice is actually hurting more founders than it helps?

18. Which current business trends or AI hype cycles am I blindly following without critical thought?

19. Is a personal brand more valuable than the company brand? 

20. If everything is leading to Ai. What is going to be left for humans? 

21. What everyday problems are not being solved, and can I build something to solve them? 

22. What new habits or tools could meaningfully transform my productivity, but I’ve dismissed them prematurely?

23. Is it better to be consistently good or occasionally extraordinary?

MOST IMPORTANT:  #24 - Am I happy with my life and where it is headed today?

Final Thoughts:

As excited as I am to take the time to reflect on all of this, I am equally afraid to address all of these questions head on. In my mind, they all lead up to #20 which I think many people address as a yes/no type of question that is more emotional in nature and not backed by logical thought. What I am hoping to do in this approach is to get the data by answering everything that comes before that question to determine if my answer is correct or incorrect. 

See you at the end of the month with an answer. 

I created this list into a PDF download that you can use to go through the same exercise. You can grab it here!
