Benevolent alpha, a leader who earns subordinates’ trust by showing he cares while holding them to his own high standard.1 #CoachPrime…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. *JS, WH* The Warm-Up: “People that have found their thing exist in a beautiful state. Usually humble, unrushed, non-competitive, and curious in a non-forced way. What others do is not a trigger because they know only they can do what they are doing in their own unique way.” ~Paul Millerd The Core: “What makes you extraordinary isn’t what you do, but how long you’re willing to do it for.” ~Alex Hormozi “You are unstoppable when you have infinite patience for delayed gratification and are ready to grow slowly.” ~Orange Book “Mindfulness is medicinal. Breathe through the chaos. Speak to yourself with intention. Remember who you are.” ~Michell C. Clark “Sometimes, it only takes one decisive day to get the life you want, but it takes a whole decade to be ready for that one day.” ~Orange Book “Here is how I think about my business: -Goals: Decades -Strategy: Yearly -Tactics: Quarterly -Effort: Daily. I simply plan on outlasting most people.” ~Justin Welsh “While the rest of us are chasing victory, the best in the world know they must avoid losing before they can win. It turns out this is a surprisingly effective strategy.” ~Shane Parrish, Clear Thinking “It’s all God’s plan…Romans 8:18… ‘I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.’ Thank you for the love and support Sooner nation. #boomer” ~Andrel Anthony Jr. “The best revenge is to simply improve yourself so much that the person regrets whatever they did to you without ever having to say a word—to become so good that the idea of revenge feels like a waste of your time.” ~Mark Manson “If you have conviction on something – move on it. Instincts are often validated over time…but while you’re waiting – they’ll be validated by someone else. There is nothing more invigorating than running ‘out front’ and proving yourself right. Do it now.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “Several executives later told me that Sanders’ assessment reveals something important about his brand of confidence: It isn’t about a cocky feeling of inherent superiority but rather a belief that you’re capable of greatness through hard work.” ~Callum Borchers, It’s Prime Time for Bosses to Pay Attention to Deion Sanders1 “A young Black man can be a lot of things with no judgement from his community – athlete, student, hustler, rapper, father – but what he cannot be is vulnerable. When I met Rich, he saw me as just a kid from Akron, Ohio. He knew that even though the LeBron James thing was starting, I had the same fears and dreams as every other young person who grew up the way we did.” ~LeBron James, in Rich Paul’s Lucky Me “Life, investing, all these things are simple but not easy. And it’s not supposed to be easy. Anything worth doing is not supposed to be easy. And I do feel like sometimes people want that -- in fact, most people want that short-term gratification and they want to reveal like, oh, what’s the code or the loophole or whatever, and it just doesn’t work that way…And it works differently for everyone, too. There’s no magic formula per se. But if Peter Bernstein, who wrote Against the Gods really this big risk guru always said, it’s much easier actually to predict the long term than the short term. So if you’ve got that north star that’s 20, 30, 40, 50 years out, you can miss a lot on the way. You don’t have to get the trajectory exactly correct…As long as you’re two steps forward, one step back most of the time, it will all be perfectly fine. It’s much, much harder to hit the short term with precision. You’ve almost got to like invert that thought process that is, again, a little bit embedded us in society.” ~Todd Combs – Investing, the Last Liberal Art, Art of Investing Last Set: “I would put, ‘Kindness never hurts. Love is never wasted. Unity starts with you. Trust makes it possible. Community is a mentality, and honesty keeps it real.’ And I think you need all those things to change the way people are living today for the better. You need all those things to help uplift somebody. You need all those things to unite and elaborate, and you need all those things to be Klutch.’” ~Rich Paul, The Tim Ferriss Show Transcripts: Rich Paul — The Power Broker and Superstar Agent Behind LeBron James, Draymond Green, and Others (#697) Food For Thought: “The hardest thing about studying businesses and investors is that many traits that fueled their success could have just as easily triggered failure. But we rarely think about it that way when learning from specific outcomes…Those eager to learn from others tend to look at the tails. What did the big winners do right? What did the big losers do wrong? It’s often hard to find an actionable takeaway from either because winners and losers often pursued similar risky strategies, with outcomes tilted ever so slightly by chance. My point is that big success requires bucking conventional wisdom, but conventional wisdom is usually right and worth following. We’re left with outcomes where winners are praised more than they should be, losers criticized more than they deserve.” ~Morgan Housel, The Thin Line Between Bold and Reckless
