The [job] title don’t matter, the results do...28all. Eya. *SB, JG, LS* The Warm-Up: “If you reframe ‘waiting’ for your next steps as ‘preparation’ for your next steps…The whole world shifts. You start thinking about what you need to know…and what you have to do. Get on it.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner The Core: “He looked back on his life and realized he’d spent most of it online watching other people live theirs…” ~Dylan O’Sullivan “The best productivity hack for solopreneurs is giving yourself permission to have a life. Burnout doesn’t scale. Enjoyment does.” ~Justin Welsh “The US isn’t a failed European country, it’s a working Latin American country. If it fails, it’ll look more like Mexico than Scandinavia.” ~Naval Ravikant “Energy transfer is real. Be picky af about who has access to you. Your body will suffer when someone’s bad, negative, toxic, weird, or traumatic energy gets into you.” ~@MindTendencies2 “People avoid the uncomfortable conversations to ‘keep the peace’. But peace isn’t the goal of a relationship. Love is. And when we love someone, we have the hard conversations in service of that love.” ~Jillian Turecki “Life gets better when you realize that no one cares about your past struggles, people only care about what they can see, about who you are today, and whether you can bring any joy or value into their lives.” ~Orange Book “Your anxiety disappears as you get older because you realize that no one has time to think about you, everyone is busy taking care of their own family, pursuing their own goals, focusing on their own lives.” ~Orange Book “A lot of business owners talk about the types of customers they want to attract but not enough try and make themselves look like the type of business that customers want to do business with. You gotta be it before they’re gonna believe it.” ~Alex Hormozi “Talent is clustered. History shows that the people who changed industries often knew each other. Went to college together. Used to drink together at the pub. The same is true today. Talented people know each other, and if you make friends with one, you can make friends with more.” ~David Perell “You know what’s ironic everyone around me who ‘dates to marry’ are still single and anxious while those who ‘date for fun’ are getting married: The first group have their eyes fixed on the future so they put up with things they’re not okay with until things fall apart. The second are not afraid to leave and start over so it’s actually easier for them to find someone they genuinely enjoy spending time with.” ~@SchrodingrsBrat “Enduring great organizations exhibit a dynamic duality. On the one hand, they have a set of timeless core values and purpose that remain constant over time. On the other hand, they have a relentless drive for progress—change, improvement, innovation, and renewal. Great organizations keep clear the difference between their core values (which never change), and operating strategies and cultural practices (which endlessly adapt to a changing world).” ~Jim Collins, Built to Last “Along the way, we have been taught to associate character skills like honesty, rationality, agreeableness, grit and care with surface metrics like wealth or power. That’s almost certainly incorrect. And if we make assumptions based on vague measures of class, we’re going to get tricked. In any village, cabal or cadre, you’ll probably see a similar percentage of bad actors. If anything, the fancy people might overindex for selfishness. Shoplifting is not that different from cheating on your taxes.” ~Seth Godin, The distribution of character “The financial ‘sciences’ – economics and finance – assume that each market participant is a homo economicus: someone who makes rational decisions designed to maximize their financial self-interest. But the crucial role played by psychology and emotion often causes this assumption to be mistaken. Investor sentiment swings a great deal, swamping the short-run influence of fundamentals. It’s for this reason that relatively few market forecasts prove correct, and fewer still are ‘right for the right reason.’” ~Howard Marks, The Folly of Certainty Last Set: “Happiness requires struggle. Without struggle, the world would lack meaning and our joys would feel empty. Be grateful for your struggles, because within them is the constant opportunity for purpose.” ~Mark Manson Food For Thought: “I think many people assume, wrongly, that a company exists simply to make money. While this is an important result of a company’s existence, we have to go deeper and find the real reasons for our being. As we investigate this, we inevitably come to the conclusion that a group of people get together and exist as an institution that we call a company so they are able to accomplish something collectively which they could not accomplish separately. They are able to do something worthwhile — they make a contribution to society (a phrase which sounds trite but is fundamental).” ~David Packard, The HP Way
