Liberty has a nice ring to it! #YERRRRRNESCU...28all. Eya. *PB* The Warm-Up:
“Writing a check separates a commitment from a conversation.” ~Warren Buffett The Core: “Purchased acceptance is still rejection.” ~Hart Ramsey “The most revolutionary ideas are not sellable…only mind changing.” ~Marina Abramovic “Football is our game but winning is our business. And business is booming!” ~Mike Tomlin “Set yourself on fire with passion and people will come from miles to see you burn.” ~John Wesley “Access coming from success is way better than illusion of success coming from access.” ~Kunal Shah “Golf is a solitary sport best played with as many people as possible.” ~Jimmie James, Playing from the Rough “Darling, a beautiful thing is never perfect. Faith requires a backbone, not a wishbone.” ~Pastor Jabin Chavez, What To Do In A Valley “When our hearts turn to our ancestors, something changes inside us. We feel part of something greater than ourselves.” ~Russell M. Nelson “Some people say they’d ‘kill for a shot’ or they’d ‘die for the chance’ when in reality they won’t even wake up sixty minutes earlier for it.” ~Alex Hormozi “You pay attention to how her lips move and how her hips sway, but she wants you to pay attention to how her soul works and how her heart plays.” ~Billy Chapata “So much of ‘being smart’ is about reacting less. People keep getting involved in unnecessary drama because they get overly emotional and are moved by their ego instead of their reason. You want a more peaceful life; you need more emotional maturity first.” ~Orange Book “A lion cub born to a family of gazelles always feels out of place. Bad at hiding. Bad at gazing. Bad at gazelling. Only when it leaves, it realizes it has claws, teeth and can kill anything. There’s nothing wrong with you for not fitting in. Lions aren’t meant to eat grass.” ~Alex Hormozi Last Set: “The most practical skill you can learn is working smarter. But here’s what nobody tells you about working smarter: it often looks like you’re working slower. A programmer might spend 20 hours wrestling with a difficult algorithm, then have an insight in the shower that solves it in 10 lines of code. Those 20 hours weren’t wasted—they were necessary for the insight. Most people never get past superficial engagement. They fragment their attention into smaller and smaller pieces — checking Slack every 6 minutes, switching tasks 40 times per hour, and treating their minds like a news feed instead of a supercomputer. Working smarter often requires looking less productive in the short term. That marketing brief you spend three hours perfecting might look identical to one written in 30 minutes. But the thoroughness of your thinking will be reflected in every decision that follows. Your first thought is what everyone else thinks. Your best thought comes after you’ve thought long enough to forget what everyone thinks. The difference between good and exceptional isn’t hours worked – it’s the depth of thought applied to the right problems.” ~Shane Parrish, Brain Food, October 27, 2024 | #600 Food For Thought: “The power of having a great network or group around you is a double-edged sword sometimes, too, though, because although a great network of people is going to propel you forward and teach you things you wouldn’t know, sometimes you start to try to keep up with the Joneses a little bit. So in particular, as I started to get some level of moderate success in business, my network started to grow, and I started to become friends with people that were much further ahead than me, and it almost led to this insecurity. For the five years before I was building my business, relatively unknown, didn’t really know anyone else building a business, I was really operating authentically in what I wanted to do and setting goals that I thought were achievable… I think you have to be careful, as your network grows, that you’re not trying to compare yourself to those people as much, and you’re just gathering inspiration from them. When you’re around a lot of smart people, ideas are going to start flying, and you need to have the confidence and willingness to say, ‘That’s a great idea, [but] that one’s not for me,’ or ‘How do you synthesize those ideas?’ In the early days, I thought, ‘Well, these people all know a lot more than I do,’ and sure, they know maybe more about business, but they don’t know more about my business. They don’t have all the context of what’s going on. They don’t understand the complexities of simply introducing a new product. That has so many supply chain implications, marketing implications.” ~Rob Fraser: Mission, Mindset, and Mastery [The Knowledge Project Ep. #205 w/ Shane Parrish]
