    Focusing on Ideas is focusing on Events - Focusing on Execution is focusing on Processes

    MINDSET 
    Inspired by Derek Sivers' short but sweet blog post. In TMF, MJ talks about how a business is built by a long process, but what the public sees is often just a singular event much later in its life, e.g. its IPO. In a similar way, focusing on the idea for a business or seeing another business...

    Anyone using the Wim Hof Meditation Method?

    HEALTH 
    Just listened to this podcast convo with Wim Hof on Diary of a CEO. Really eye-opening stuff. I did the breathing exercise along with them and felt light-headed, and then a lot better. I was able to hold my breath for over a minute afterwards too. I'm struggling with an auto-immune condition...

    Documenting a Lifetime Journey working on a Youtube Podcast

    EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    The interview with Ron Douglas absolutely blew up and achieved some all-time highs on certain metrics. Overview of analytics: I recently gained access to the Youtube test and compare feature for thumbnails, allowing me to split-test 3 thumbnails at once. These were the results for this video...

    Sweet Bombs Getting Hydrated Re-imagined

    EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    I love this idea. I carry a water bottle everywhere with me, and sometimes I run out of water and can't find anywhere to refill it. I'd love to carry these candies around in my backpack as an emergency water supply that is light and won't leak/create a mess. You could also include various...

    A Useful Idea from Philosophy to Identify Self-Limiting Beliefs

    MINDSET 
    Thanks for sharing this. I think rich = evil is a pretty common belief. I should have defined rational more clearly. I think beliefs or knowledge that are useful, that solve problems, say something true about the world. That's why they are able to solve problems. A better definition of...

    Is it better to wait or start diving into RE investing? Will the market bust?

    REAL ESTATE 
    The cost of waiting is almost always greater than the risk of failing.

    A Useful Idea from Philosophy to Identify Self-Limiting Beliefs

    MINDSET 
    I was inspired by some recent responses by BizyDad to another forum member about their self-limiting beliefs, and it reminded me of an old philosophy idea I came across from David Deutsch called "anti-rational memes". Note that memes are being used in the evolutionary Richard Dawkins' sense of...

    How do I market my high school tutoring services (8th-10th grade)?

    MARKETING QUESTION 
    You can use something like this as part of your case for why math matters in the long-term, since a common argument I hear (and used to make when I was in high-school) is that math is useless for life beyond the basics. Example 1. (He even ends the short by saying, "If your kids are not good...

    Can I quit? Is quitting ever ok?

    MINDSET 
    I finally got around to listening to this. Reminds me so much of Peter Attia's story where he realized being a surgeon was just trying to catch falling eggs from the sky. It would be far better to go figure out how to step them from falling out of the sky in the first place. So much of Western...

    Documenting a Lifetime Journey working on a Youtube Podcast

    EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Thanks Dave @MomentumMaker for watching and commenting on all my new episodes. I'm curious about your perspective as an outsider. What pitfalls do you see for me getting into the podcast business long-term? What do you think of MTF's concerns? How might I mitigate these? MTF mentioned viewing...

    I think it's possible for what you do in a business (the input) to not be something you are passionate about. E.g. cleaning toilets, walking dogs, mowing lawns, etc. But I think you can still be passionate about the output (clean toilets, happy dogs, well maintained lawn) and outcome (happy...

    This is what Ron Douglas told me as well when I interviewed him on my podcast. He ended the conversation by saying that being a millionaire is not hard, and that people already have the skills for it, they just don't know how to put the puzzle pieces together. He knows countless people who were...

    Documenting a Lifetime Journey working on a Youtube Podcast

    EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Saw this comment on Chris Williamson's new interview with Craig Jones (hilarious guest). Made me think that perhaps it's easy for creators to imagine the growth of their show as an infinite line going up, including more sponsorships/ads, better production value, and greater effort put into...

    Don't Waste Your Life: Optimizing Life for Fulfillment Instead of Net Worth

    MINDSET 
    I agree, but I think a fulfilling life for me personally is one where I work very hard towards meaningful goals. If I can go to bed feeling a good kind of tired because I held nothing back, those are my most satisfying days. Empty calendar is fine by me so I can do lots of deep, creative work...
