@markpollard If working is like nicotine, it does not sooth the anxiety, it masks the genuine cause(s) for anxiety by providing a palpable substitute. Then, as with any drug, say nicotine/work, one creates a lifestyle around the drug. Smoke and mirrors propped up to avoid reality. I'm guilty!

Give me questions I can't answer not answers I can't question.

Feynman learning strategy in three points:

1. Continually ask "Why?"
2. When you learn something, learn it to where you can explain it to a child.
3. Instead of arbitrarily memorizing things, look for the explanation that makes it obvious.

Here’s a free 50-page ebook on the basics of advertising strategy.

The original article, it’s fair to say, changed my life.

I published it about 13 years ago. It’s been read by over 100k people, got me jobs, and led to my book “Strategy Is Your Words.”

You will lose pitches.
You will lose clients.
You will lose teammates.
You will lose focus.
You will lose weekends.

Losing makes winning sweeter.

But even the best winning is temporary. So if you can only win if you lose yourself to a job then you, too, might feel temporary.
