What If There’s No Rulebook? Here’s How to Write the One You Need

Hey friends, Chase here.

Ever feel like you’re waiting for someone to hand you the map?

You know—the step-by-step plan for building a creative life you actually want. The rules for how to get unstuck. The playbook for doing meaningful work without burning out or selling out.

Here’s the truth:

That rulebook doesn’t exist.

No one’s coming to hand it to you. Not your boss. Not a guru. Not even me. And honestly? That’s a good thing.

Because if there’s no rulebook… you get to write your own.

In this episode, I share 11 lessons that have helped me (and countless others) carve a path when there wasn’t one. They’re not “rules” in the traditional sense—they’re more like signposts. Principles you can remix into a guide for your own life.

Here’s a taste of what we cover:

  • Why “get sh*t done” beats overthinking every single time
  • How to make your own rules—and know when to break them
  • Why practicing your craft relentlessly matters more than chasing shiny shortcuts
  • Why helping others isn’t just nice—it’s a success multiplier

The big idea? Stop waiting for permission. Stop looking for the perfect plan. The only way to build the life you want is to start where you are, with what you have, and figure it out as you go.

There’s no perfect path. Just your path.

So grab a pen. Start drafting your rulebook—messy, incomplete, and uniquely yours.

Because the life you’re craving? It won’t come from playing by someone else’s rules.

Until next time—stay bold, and keep creating.
