@AlexHormozi Combine this asset class, skills, with technology and you’ll experience exponential growth that skill alone can’t achieve.

[Murtaza Edries @MurtazaEdries]

To grow and scale a business, the owner must work on the business, not in the business.

It’s easier said that done though. Small business owners often find themselves working in the nitty gritty of their business.

The remedy: build systems & teams that operate independently.

Business planning in the traditional sense is pointless.

By the time you’re done making one, it becomes obsolete. The world is changing too fast.

[Murtaza Edries @MurtazaEdries]

Hoarding business ideas won’t get you anywhere. Execute instead! It’s OK if your first few attempts don’t work. The learning is worth it.

@AlexHormozi This applies to organizations as well as it does to individuals.

@NavalismHQ @naval It begs the question how not to take oneself seriously? 🤔

@pdfish17 and I share our insights on @AtlanticCouncil about macroeconomic stability in #Afghanistan and what needs to be done. So much is at stake, particularly millions of lives. The de facto gov't can't ignore the economy anymore.

Is there women advocate groups here that could DM me? I have some Afghan vulnerable women (women soccer players, women served in special forces, Air Force & others) who desperately need to get out of Afghanistan.

#TheBattleOfPanjshir How desperate a group of men have to be to search the war museum for working fighting machines. We opened the old containers meant to serve as a make shift museums to our past glorious, looking for anything to wake up so it could fire gain just one more time.
