If you see your emotions as “caused” by anything around you, you’ll always be a responder. Shift how you respond by examining the thoughts that are fueling those emotions…it’s always an inside job. Mastery is just changing your automatic patterns. #TuesdayThoughts

Typically, the reason somebody knows more about something than you isn’t because they’re “smarter,” it’s because they care more about that thing.

Build your team.
Talked to an old boss today who said something that really struck me, “as I look back on my career, with most of the stuff I worked so hard on gone or replaced by later versions, it really is the people that mattered.” People first. ❤️

4. You don’t have to wait for someone to tell you what to do or give you permission. I’m not saying go and change the website without asking anyone if you’re 23 and this is your first job out of school.
— Dave Gerhardt (@davegerhardt) February 24, 2020
3. The best teams have people that are already out there testing those things. Trying new ideas without permission first. And then coming to the meetings with real feedback, or a plan that’s ready to go when the boss says “yes can we please do this?”

You can worry about who gets the credit for your work.
Or just be so good that people will know it was you. If not the first time, they will the second, and third, etc.

The days over writing “corporate” marketing are over. People want you. The real you.
i’m tweeting this really just as a reminder to myself, but sharing in case you need that reminder too: double down on the stuff you’re great at. ignore the rest (or build a team better than you there if you’re a manager).

You have time to read those books.
You have time to exercise.

It’s incredibly important to have the ability to cut negative emotions quickly and refocus. Negative emotions “stack.” They build on each other to grow headspace. They skew perspective and take away from far more pressing things you need to focus on & do.

Before $10M in revenue you don’t need much more than 2 good marketing channels. But most companies before that spend time chasing 1-2-3-4-5-7-8-9-10 channels — and when you do that, you never get *good* at those 2. Don’t be the Cheesecake Factory. Be known for that burger.

1. Use money to create wealth.
— Shane Parrish (@ShaneAParrish) July 26, 2020
* Trade money for things that make you money while you sleep.
* Arbitrage your time. Buy time from someone else if you can earn more.
Most people trade money for things that make them feel good about themselves. That’s why they’re never wealthy.

4. What do I want to spend time doing?
5. What don’t I want?

Your environment is the key to your subconscious.

People who appear to have better than average self-control, typically operate in environments that don’t require them to exercise much self-control.
The trick to focus on one project is to literally block everything else out – notifications, close tabs, etc..and set the clock for 60 min of uninterrupted time daily. As the weeks progress, increase to 90 min. It will start training you to work more deeply & you’ll get more done
