Put your kid in a bubble. The latest thing in China. The product entrepreneur has so many lessons to learn in China 🇨🇳. For example, its problematic to test new complex plastic products that require more than one mold. Each mold is expensive to create, and the cost is separate from the unit cost of your product. There’s a good chance you will get critical feedback from people who buy your 1st generation product that will make you want to make changes for your 2nd generation. But this will require a new round of molds. It gets expensive, and makes this type of product riskier to test. #entrepreneur #blacksheepformula #china #blacksheeplessons #adventurecapital #makingproducts

Pretty 😷 997 Cup Car I was checking out. Actually quite similar to my RS in terms of components, minus the accoutrements that make the RS street legal. I try to drive my RS everyday, but if you were only going to hit the track and never drive it on the street, a Cup Car is a pretty 😎 option...is it just me? Or, are Porsche 911s the coolest fucken things on 🌏!!!?!? Sorry folks, I’ve got a major obsession. #porsche911 #porschelove #cupcar #997cupcar #blacksheepformula #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife #adventurecapital #racingislife #carlifestyle

Surfer face. It’s that look you get when you’re totally focused on one thing. No malarkey on the mind. In fact, the mind seems to shut off from being its own separate entity, and joins in with the rest of ones’ senses and faculties for the greater good of the experience at hand. #surferface #blacksheepformula #flow #flowstate #entrepreneur #adventurecapital #thoughts #puertoescondido

You got to know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, And know when to run. -Kenny Rogers Sometimes you can get another 10 seconds of riding or 30 more feet of clean wave face, but then you’re gonna eat shit on the close-out and face a long paddle out. Better to enjoy the ride thus far, and pull chute to get into position for the next set. Success in business, as in surfing, as in many pursuits in life - seems to boil down to proper positioning. Those who take positioning seriously are those who will get the most out of everything they do do. The Black Sheep Formula is a guide about how to properly position yourself to earn money. #chacawa #puertoescondido #blacksheepformula #BSF #surffulltime

I chauffeured Grandma in the RS to her 90th birthday luncheon @ the tea house. She likes to rip! ...so I was forced to shift into PDK Sport - you know how it is!!! 😎#porschegt3 #porsche911 #porschegt3rs #blacksheepformula #BSF #grandma #porschelove #pdk #pdksport

“Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting” - Steve McQueen. Racing is not just about going fast, it’s about doing everything right. The fastest guys around the track aren’t usually in the fastest car, they just understand all the nuances of the car, the track, themselves, and the physics that connects everything. Racing is about the pursuit of mastery. Racing is a metaphor for life. #racingislife #stevemcqueen #blacksheepformula #BSF #trackday #entrepreneur #entrepreneurlife #racetrack

A little gymkhana at Ebisu Circuit in Japan - literally the most fun you can have. For those who don’t know...”Gymkhana is a type of motorsport, known as Motorkhana in Australia and New Zealand, and Autotesting in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Similar to autocross, the goal of gymkhana is to achieve the fastest time possible; memorizing the course is a significant part of achieving a fast time. The name is loaned from the equestrian discipline of gymkhana. Gymkhana events are time and/or speed events in an automobile. These can feature obstacles such as cones, tires, and barrels. The driver must manoeuver through a predetermined "track" performing many different driving techniques. What separates gymkhana from traditional autocross events is that the gymkhana requires drivers to perform reversals, 180 degree spins, 360 degree spins, parking boxes, figure 8s, and other advanced skills. Drifting is also encouraged where helpful or necessary. Essentially, a gymkhana is any event featuring a starting point, a finish line and some sort of "obstacle" to get through, around, or by, all within a certain time limit.” From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymkhana_(motorsport) #gymkhana #nissanskylinegtr #suenaga #drifting #ebisucircuit #blacksheepformula #BSF #killalltires #tireslayer @thehoonigans

Sorry bro, you can’t go for a ride in the RS. I took him for a ride once in my last Porsche (2011 - 911 C4S) and he jumped all over the interior. The shape of the seat made it difficult for him to stick his head out the window so he ended up trying to stand on the inside of the door to properly position himself - total disaster, and I learned that Porsche 911s just aren’t conducive to cruising with black labs - even if he is your best buddy. #porschegt3 #porsche911 #blacklab #gt3rs #blacksheepformula #991gt3 #BSF #crusingwithbuddies #entrepreneurlife #entrepreneur #porschelove #porsche911gt3rs

If you don’t put in the work - and your status still escalates - it’s due to charity, and should not be claimed as success. Success is based on positioning, risk, and work. #nofreelunch #blacksheepformula #BSF
