Good morning…28all. Eya. *PB* The Warm-Up: “Instead of asking what books you should read, ask what ideas you should understand.” ~Naval Ravikant The Core: “The goal isn’t to appeal to the masses; the goal is to awaken.” ~Dulce Ruby “CEO definition: salesperson. Stop letting anyone talk you out of this truth.” ~Codie Sanchez “Stop sharing too much about your goals. Focus on private victories. Not public praise.” ~Iman Gadzhi “Millennials who learn the dark Boomer arts of phone calls and eye contact will inherit the earth.” ~Molson Hart “The last act is the greatest treason. To do the right deed for the wrong reason.” ~T.S. Eliot, Murder in the Cathedral “The scary part about asking God to guide you is that you have to be ready for whatever that looks like, even if it’s not what you want.” ~@Barolinnne “Advice from a mentor that changed my life: There’s no such thing as a perfect moment. There are just moments—and you decide what you make of them. Go make some imperfect moments perfect through action.” ~Sahil Bloom “If money didn’t matter, I’d still try to make more money. People pay for things they want or care about. It feels good to know that you are contributing to someone’s life. Money is a tool to create meaningful work if you don’t abuse it (or let it control you).” ~Dan Koe “Stop abusing your self-awareness. Awareness does not mean over analyzing everything you say and do. Thinking about the game will not make you good at the game. You have to play the game. You have to live life fully. Be vulnerable to the Universe. It is you after all.” ~@TheOracleReadsU “The only person who will give you credit for the work you do that no one sees is reality. It’s the only thing that will always accurately reflect the work you did. Because for everyone else, they have to be capable of doing the work you do [to] understand it. Which, they never will.” ~Alex Hormozi “It may seem odd to talk about something as soft and fuzzy as ‘passion’ as an integral part of a strategic framework. But throughout the good-to-great companies, passion became a key part of the Hedgehog Concept. You cant manufacture passion or ‘motivate’ people to feel passionate. You can only discover what ignites your passion and the passions of those around you.” ~Jim Collins, Good to Great “Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.” ~C.S. Lewis Last Set: “You can NEVER build a kingdom with someone who still craves attention from the village.” ~Tim Karsliyev Food For Thought: “ ‘School tests weaknesses. Life rewards strengths. Spending more time on our weakest areas is tempting, but life mostly rewards us for investing in our strengths. Imagine a student who struggles with math but excels at writing. In school, they might spend hours raising their math grades from a C to a B. However, spending the same time on writing might move them from an A to an A+. Focusing on math makes sense when you’re taught to think in grades. It doesn’t make sense if you think about life. The difference between an A and an A+ in writing ability might mean the difference between a New York Times bestseller read by millions and a book that only 100 people read.’ Address weaknesses only to the point where they stop holding you back. Then concentrate effort on your strengths.” ~Shane Parrish, Brain Food September 1, 2024 | #592 Something for the Road: Had someone recently ask, “What book has improved or influenced your business writing / communication the most?” As I grapple with this question, I’m curious yalls answer as well!
