The Mindset Shift: Hydration, Humility & Hustle on the Go | Dotcombaron

In my line of work, dealing with the technicalities of business structures, optimization, and automation can often feel incredibly dry. My previous live stream, for instance, delved deep into scenarios and the history of my journey with pipelines and automation. While vital for those downloading my work structures, I realize that for a broader audience, it can be quite taxing. So, today, I wanted to switch gears a bit, offer something a little more random and lighthearted, while still sharing some practical insights from my life on the move.

The Problem: Staying Hydrated, Humble, and Human in a Fast-Paced World

One of the immediate challenges I’ve been facing, especially with the demanding daily regime of running and traveling, is staying adequately hydrated. It’s incredibly hot here in Sofia, Bulgaria, and frankly, I have hydration issues. This isn’t just a physical discomfort; it affects my mental clarity and overall energy. It’s one of the primary reasons I’ve stopped drinking beer for a couple of days now – actually, more than five days. Normally, I’d have a few beers while meeting people and shaking hands during the day, but with my renewed commitment to running, I need to keep my body properly fueled with water.

Another, more subtle, challenge is maintaining a grounded perspective. When you’re constantly pushing boundaries, achieving goals, and seeing the world through a lens of opportunity, there’s a risk of becoming overconfident or detached. I’ve always aimed to share content that’s genuine and beneficial, whether it’s about business strategies or personal discipline. But I’ve noticed that highly technical, detailed content, while useful, often doesn’t resonate with the majority who might stumble upon my live streams. They simply don’t have a clue what I’m speaking about. This highlights a broader issue: how to connect with people on a humane level, without getting caught up in superficial judgments or the illusion of superiority.

The Solution: Embracing a Dynamic Life of Continuous Growth

My approach to these challenges is rooted in a philosophy of continuous movement and personal development:

1. Prioritize Physical Well-being as a Foundation

• **Conscious Hydration:** The simple act of choosing water over beer is a direct response to my body’s needs. It’s about being disciplined and making choices that support my physical activity, which in turn supports my mental focus.
• **Consistent Movement:** Despite the heat and a recent running injury (which means I’ll take a couple of days off from running), I keep my body active. Being ‘on the move’ is more than just travel for me; it’s a constant state of physical and mental engagement that prevents stagnation.

2. Cultivate Humility and a Grounded Perspective

• **Lessons from Literature:** I often refer to ‘The Greatest Salesman in the World’ by Og Mandino. This book, which I read three times a day for two years, taught me invaluable lessons about humility. One key takeaway is this: ‘If you feel on top of the world or too overconfident, try to stop the wind.’ It’s a powerful metaphor for staying grounded. This personal practice, though it once cost me a relationship due to my intense shift in perspective, has made me see things differently and more clearly.
• **Seek Authentic Interactions:** I prefer ‘less civilized’ neighborhoods, not out of disrespect, but because they often offer more genuine human interactions. In my experience, areas with ‘mediocre incomes’ tend to breed people who think they’re ‘on top of the world’ just because they have a leased car. I prefer to be where people are real, where you don’t ‘check each other out’ based on brands or status, but connect as humans.

3. Embrace Geographic Fluidity and Strategic Change

• **Living, Not Holidaying:** I don’t ‘do holidays.’ I live where I want to live. Currently, that’s Bulgaria, where I’m finishing up some projects. Once those are done, I’ll make a move, probably to Sicily or back to Malta. This isn’t about vacation; it’s about positioning myself where I can best operate my businesses and continue my personal evolution.
• **Shifting Content Backgrounds:** My physical location directly influences the ‘background’ of my content. Moving to Malta, for instance, means live streams from boats, gift shops (where we operate), and the launch of a huge project there. This constant change keeps my content fresh and allows me to share diverse experiences.

4. Harness Personal Experience for Creative Output

• **Diverse Background:** I’ve operated businesses for 30 years in Holland, including a grow shop where I sold equipment for growing marijuana. My diverse past has allowed me to explore my brain, unlock creativity, and develop projects from unique perspectives. I’ve literally locked myself up for days, letting my mind run free, which has opened countless ‘doors’ of understanding and innovation.
• **Focus on the Beneficial:** While I’ve experienced many things, I focus my content on what’s genuinely beneficial: business structures, life discipline, training. This isn’t about glorifying past choices but extracting lessons that can truly improve people’s lives.

Summary: Live with Purpose, Stay Dynamic, and Never Stop Growing

My journey is a testament to the power of deliberate choices: prioritizing well-being, cultivating humility, embracing change, and extracting wisdom from every experience. It’s about being constantly ‘on the move,’ not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. By focusing on what truly propels me forward and sharing those real-life lessons, I aim to connect with those who, like me, seek to truly improve their lives and be ‘too high’ on life itself, rather than fleeting pleasures. So, stay tuned, stay humble, and keep moving!
