Welcome to Find. Focus. Flow.
Iβm glad youβre here :)
Before I share more about this newsletter, Iβd like to introduce myself.
Where I'm at
Hey, I'm Ash.
I'm pursuing my life's work and loving every minute of the journey.
I feel incredibly fulfilled and blessed to give my greatest gifts to the world.
I feel focused, confident in my direction, and life just seems to flow.
But it wasn't always that way.
Where I was
I burned the past five years pursuing the wrong it and doing work I hated.
I failed at multiple ventures.
I felt incredibly lost, anxious, and distracted.
I rejected my soul.
Maybe you can relate.
Maybe you're feeling that way right now.
Making a Change
In March 2024, I burnt out. Hard.
I quit my job and the startups I was working on and left the industry altogether.
Introspection and Self-Discovery
Leading up to quitting my job, I spent the first 3 months of 2024 asking myself introspective questions and discovering what I wanted in life.
I dug deep.
I asked myself numerous introspective questions, such as
- What do I want to contribute to this world?
- What does a successful life look like for me?
- What is most important in my life? What do I value most? What am I most passionate about?
I wrote everything I could think of that made me happy (and unhappy) in my entire past and connected that with my ideas and actions in the past.
I defined and crafted my life statement and mission statement.
I created an entire life plan.
At the end, I noticed a common theme and crafted my life path to materialize my life and mission statement.
This process of self-discovery was the most transformative period of my life.
I believe one of the most rewarding things in life is get to know yourself on a deeper level and discover your life path.
Awareness of Distractions
Throughout this process, I became aware of all my distractions and vices and wrote them down on paper.
I realized I had so many distractions that were preventing me from finding my path, discovering what I really wanted in life, and building that life.
Elimination of Distractions
One by one, I started to eliminate them from my life. I removed distractions, such as:
- Phone
- Texting
- YouTube
- Dating apps
- Social media
Everything Coming Together
For the first time in my life, I was truly able to find my thing, focus on it, and flow in life.
After months of introspection, reflection, self-discovery, removing distractions, gaining clarity, and seeing a viable way forward, I found my mission and life's work.
My Mission
My mission is to help you discover your true calling in life and maximize your potential by helping you discover your life path, eliminate the distractions and vices holding you back, and build your life through focus and flow.
Put simply, my mission is to help you discover and live your best life.
How I Can Help You Get There, Faster
I created Find. Focus. Flow., a holistic system that helps you discover the life you want to live, focus on building that life, and flow with that life.
You can think of it as an interconnected system you can practice in your daily life.
Something you integrate into your consciousness and everyday awareness.
A philosophy. A system to guide you to crafting your dream life, even if you don't know what that looks like yet.
Let's call it the The Find. Focus. Flow. Process.β’
Through my work, I will help you discover the life you want to live and help guide you to build that life.

One Big Idea
The one big idea you will see recurring in this newsletter is removing distractions and minimizing context switching.
This is because distractions and context switching cause a block in all 3 pillars: find, focus, flow
- You can't find what you want to do when you are constantly distracted
- You can't focus on what you want to do when you are constantly distracted
- You can't flow with what you want to do when you are constantly distracted
In today's world, we are more distracted and disconnected than ever.
A lot of distractions are not our creation and some can't be avoided altogether.
Our attention economy has been engineered to make you addicted as possible to mindless consumption.
If you're always distracted, you will never find your life path, purpose, and mission in the first place.
The biggest obstacles to an unhappy, unhealthy, unfulfilling life are distractions.
They make your life path undiscoverable, throw you off track, and drain your energy.
But I will help you curate your environment to minimize them and eliminate any that are not benefitting your life.
I will help bring awareness to the distractions you have running in the background that you had no idea were even there.
What Are You Struggling With?
Now that you're familiar with what we'll be talking about, I want you to ask yourself -
"What am I struggling with and what topic(s) am I most interested in?"
When you have your answer, send it to me by email or message me on X.
And feel free to give some context if you think that would help.
I read every one and genuinely want to help you.
Thank You

I hope you will go all in on your life too, whatever that may be.
