Data should give you peace of mind
Peace of mind that:
your business is on track
you’ll spot bugs before your customers
you have a pulse on your company's strengths and weaknesses
you’ll identify operational inefficiencies before they eat away at profits
I’ve had 7 jobs in the last 7 years
It was a logistical nightmare, but also the best path for me
Here’s why:
9 months ago I ended my chronic job hopping streak
Quit my 9-5 to start my own analytics consulting agency
It was a running joke with friends and family that I’d have a new job every time I saw them
But, all those jobs gave me experience with different
Roles
Industries
Working styles
Company cultures
Management styles
Types of products and services
Company sizes and stages of growth
This was the experience I needed to go out on my own
But it wasn’t until I started serving clients that I really found that out
I’ve been able to
Quickly adapt to different clients
Understand their problems
Meet evolving needs
Sounds cheesy, but the key lesson here is that it’s all about the journey
So many times we want to jump off the cliff and build our own thing
It makes us resent our current situation and miss out on learning
If you find yourself daydreaming about starting your own business, take a step back
Where you are right now is preparing you for all the places you want to go
I've been writing every day for the past 100 days on X.
Here are all the tools I rely on to generate, write, and share my ideas consistently.
They are sectioned into 4 categories:
Consume, Capture, Combine, Create
━━━━━✺━━━━━
Consume:
The most important step to having good ideas is to read a lot. Nothing beats recommendations. But these tools help you discover and consume content.
• @ReadwiseReader (The best Read-it-Later app)
• Apple Books
• @feedly (RSS Reader)
━━━━━✺━━━━━
Capture:
After finding great content, the next step is to extract the key points and take notes.
• @readwise (Ties everything together)
• @mymind (Capture and resurface images)
━━━━━✺━━━━━
Combine:
Knowledge is like random dots on a map. Wisdom is connecting these dots.
• @Heptabase (My Second Brain tool of choice)
━━━━━✺━━━━━
Create:
Finally, the last step is to publish what you've learned consistently.
• @TweetHunterBot
• @HemingwayApp
• @NotionHQ
