GAVIN AND THE BEAN GARDEN GAVIN’S GUYS With ‘The Quantum Leap Strategy’ by Price Pritchett BECOME A BETTER YOU

Everyone wants something better for their lives — not just a better business but better relationships, moods, creative moments, experiences, anything. We all just want to be better. But despite the desire to evolve and change, sometimes we find ourselves stuck in a rut of habit or comfort, which is hard to break. If this sounds like you, I recommend reading “The Quantum Leap Strategy” by Price Pritchett. This book is very concise (37 pages) and helps you view yourself and your habits with real clarity and push yourself further than you could ever imagine. Price calls this push the “Quantum Leap Strategy.” The idea is to go beyond your regular performance, your daily comforts or routines, and achieve success using tools that already exist inside you – with half the effort.

The result is what Price calls “you²,” or the better version of you. This version of yourself already exists inside you, and “The Quantum Leap Strategy” will help you tap into the potential hidden under the ease of your routines.

Many of us struggle to start making these changes ourselves because we’re either scared or “too busy” to do anything differently. This book explicitly targets those hesitations and challenges you with chapters titled “Seek failure,” “Get

You see, the other day, while we were at our grandpa’s house, he gave us each some beans. They weren’t the baked kind — they were hard ones that make little tapping noises when you shake them together, which I think makes them “raw.” It didn’t take my sister and me long to figure out what we wanted to do with our newest prize, and as soon as we got home, we raced to the backyard. We decided to make a garden and plant the beans our grandpa gave us! I was in charge of the build, and Ella was in charge of the design. We both helped each other out and made a pretty good team, if I say so myself.

Hey, newsletter friends, it’s Gavin! While I usually have an update about how my guys and I are working hard to invent or build the coolest things we can think of, this month, my “guys” are actually one person: my sister, Ella.

We grabbed some pavers from around the yard and used them to create a border for our little garden. That way, everyone would know not to step in the dirt or run it over with a lawnmower. Then, once we had our site outlined, we started planting. We first had to do what my dad calls “tilling the land,” which basically meant mixing up the dirt. Ella and I mixed it as best we could with shovels and rakes before deciding where we would put our beans.

We made little holes and placed the beans from our grandpa inside before covering them with the soil and giving them some water to grow.

Ella and I are happy to report that we officially have beans growing in our garden! We can see the little green sprouts coming up from where we put the beans, so all our hard work building, designing, and planting our garden paid off.

Next, we plan to try growing some cucumbers because they’re our favorite snack, and home-grown snacks always taste the best!
