Quote of the day
This Smart Home Company Hit $10 Million in Revenue—and It’s Just the Beginning
No, it’s not Ring or Nest—it’s RYSE, the company redefining smart home innovation, and you can invest for just $1.75 per share.
RYSE’s patented SmartShades are transforming how people control their window shades—offering seamless automation without costly replacements. With 10 fully granted patents and a pivotal Amazon court judgment safeguarding their technology, RYSE has established itself as a market leader in an industry projected to grow 23% annually.
This year, RYSE surpassed $10 million in total revenue, expanded to 127 Best Buy locations, and experienced explosive 200% month-over-month growth. With partnerships in progress with major retailers like Lowe’s and Home Depot, they’re set for even bigger milestones, including international expansion and new product launches.
This is your last chance to invest at the current share price before their next stage of growth drives even greater demand.
Holding on, Letting Go
We love control. The idea that if we plan enough, work hard enough, or hold on tightly enough, things will fall perfectly into place. But control is tricky. Cling too tightly, and it slips through your hands. Hold on too loosely, and it disappears just the same.
Picture holding a bar of soap. If you grip it too hard, it shoots out of your hands. If your grasp is too loose, it quietly slides away. The trick isn’t just to hold the soap, it’s to find the balance.
Life works the same way. Some situations demand intensity and focus. You might need to double down, refine your approach, and hold yourself to higher standards. Other moments require the opposite—a release, a willingness to let go of what isn’t working or what you can’t control.
The challenge is figuring out which kind of person you are right now.
Are you someone who tends to hold on too tightly, afraid to let go of control, and constantly micromanaging the details? Or are you the person who lets things slip away, hesitant to take ownership or tighten your grip when it matters?
Neither approach is inherently wrong, it’s about knowing what the moment calls for.
Letting go isn’t about giving up, it’s a conscious decision to stop gripping so hard that you lose sight of what matters. And tightening your grip isn’t about controlling everything, it’s about stepping up when it’s time to take responsibility.
Finding that balance is a practice, not a one-time fix. It means checking in with yourself, asking hard questions, and being willing to adjust your approach.
Life doesn’t reward extremes, it rewards awareness. Learn to recognize when to hold on, when to let go, and when to simply be present. The rest will follow.

“To let go does not mean to get rid of. To let go means to let be. When we let be with compassion, things come and go on their own.” - Jack Kornfield
