@JemBourouhDE @emailreinis I said it, now what

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

Lifehack: isolate yourself & work for 6 months on one thing.

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

The best part about having money:

being able to choose if something is worth your time.

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

@amelia_coomber 100%, was thinking about getting this actually tattoed on me for a while!

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

How do you keep your ego in check?

Asking for a friend.

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

@grayfuego This is good & can relate to this. Self-awareness is definitely the key here

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

@JemBourouhDE had to get both the dior shirt & the rolex in the shot 🤤

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

Buying a Rolex at 21 is cool.
Being able to travel the world at 21 is cool.
Being able to splurge on designers at 21 is cool.

But nothing beats being able to give back to your parents.

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

Complacency really IS the biggest killer.

As soon as you slow down & get comfortable you're losing.

Good thing self-awareness exists.

Lifehack:

Understand what you're naturally good at and focus your work around that.

Just because someone is successful doing X, doesn't mean you have to follow suit.

You've probably heard people say that DTC businesses are bad cash businesses.

Many operators badly misunderstand this when they start out. I certainly did.

I've been working hard to get a better understanding of it and wrap my head around why and how.

Here's what I've learned

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

Want to think more efficiently & make better decisions?

Learn the following principles:
- opportunity cost
- first principle thinking
- inversion

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

Really glad I discovered Nassim Taleb & Naval.

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

Low employee churn is the most underrated thing I don't see enough focusing on.

How can you scale if your base is constantly crumbling underneath you?

I might need to write a thread about this...

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

The one thing most successful people have in common...

Hint: it's not being super smart.

It's that they're doers before anything else.

Other things like intelligence are just multipliers of your actions.

Do first, think later if you're starting out.

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

Want to know yourself better?

Try the DISC test -> https://t.co/drzWuSasWU

Had by far the most accurate description of myself compared to other tests.

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

One of the biggest mistakes I see over and over.

People prioritizing tactics over strategy.

Get your big picture down and don't worry so much about the small things.

What you do > how you do it.

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

This really is the new gold rush.

Kids make more from their bedrooms than companies with offices and 20+ employees.

[Jacob R. Anson @AnsonJacobR]

Work hack:

Start your day with a work block focused on activities with long-lasting effects.

Examples: system creation, team training, process optimization.

The rest is secondary.
