Jack Dorsey on what he learned about culture from 49ers coach Bill Walsh

When Bill Walsh joined the 49ers, they were the worst team in the NFL. Within three years, they were Super Bowl Champions.

In his book, The Score Takes Care of Itself, he writes:

“Winners act like winners before they’re winners…The culture precedes positive results. It doesn’t get tacked on as an afterthought on your way to the victory stand. Champions behave like champions before they’re champions; they have a winning standard of performance before their winners.”

And he provides six guidelines for establishing a standard of performance:

1. Start with a comprehensive recognition of reverence for and identification of the specific actions and attitudes relevant to your team’s performance and production.

2. Be clarion clear in communicating your expectation of high effort and execution of your Standard of Performance. Like water, many decent individuals will seek lower ground if left to their own inclinations. In most cases you are the one who inspires and demands they go upward rather than settle for the comfort of doing what comes easily. Push them beyond their comfort zone; expect them to give extra effort.

3. Let all know that you expect them to possess the highest level of expertise in their area of responsibility.

4. Beyond standards and methodology, teach your beliefs, values, and philosophy. An organism is not an inanimate object. It is a living organism that you must nurture, guide, and strengthen.

5. Teach “connection and extension.” An organization filled with individuals who are “independent contractors” unattached to one another is a team with little interior cohesion and strength.

6. Make the expectations and metrics of competence that you demand in action and attitudes from personnel the new reality of your organization. You must provide the model for that new standard in your own actions and attitude.

Twitter and Square founder Jack Dorsey encourages anyone thinking about leading teams or building a company to read this book:

“What’s important about this is that as you start building a team, you need to set expectations around how people need to perform in the company—how people need to act in the company. And these can be very simple things, but without that, you are rutterless—you will react to the outside. And if you react to the outside, you are building someone else’s roadmap and you’re building someone else’s dream instead of your own.”

Science didn’t invent bands, chains, or the mind muscle connection lifters did.

Bro splits still work when effort is real

Research is a guide not a rulebook what works varies strength is not black and white it is a spectrum written in sweat not journals!

Do not wait to "love" a subject to start. Competence breeds interest. You often grow to like things by becoming good at them.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

“One of the many life skills that you want to learn at a fairly young age is the skill of being an ultra-thrifty, minimal kind of little wisp that’s traveling through time . . . in the sense of learning how little you actually need to live, not just in a survival mode, but in a contented mode. . . . That gives you the confidence to take a risk, because you say, ‘What’s the worst that can happen? Well, the worst that can happen is that I’d have a backpack and a sleeping bag, and I’d be eating oatmeal. And I’d be fine.’”
— Kevin Kelly

Your physical transformation is not the finish line.

It’s the first stage.

The body is the visible proof.

But the real shift happens underneath.

When you start training consistently…
You build discipline.

When you dial in your nutrition…
You build control.

When you push through hard workouts…
You build resilience.

That discipline spills into business.

That control spills into your finances.

That resilience spills into your relationships.

I’ve seen it over and over again for 35+ years.

A man gets in shape…
And suddenly he negotiates better.

Leads stronger.

Speaks with more certainty.

Raises his standards everywhere.

Because the habits that build muscle…
Are the same habits that build money.

The habits that drop body fat…
Are the same habits that eliminate excuses.

Your physique is just the first external signal
That you’ve taken control internally.

And once you control yourself…

You can control your direction.

Your physical transformation is simply proof
That you’re ready for the next level of your life.

Hardcore skill development is one of the greatest social mobility hacks. Even if your family is not well-connected, you can make up for it by developing real skills.

Sure, you have to develop more skills than well-connected people to reach the same level of opportunity, and you’re going to have less guidance developing those skills and finding your way to the arena – but once you’re in the arena, those extra skills pay big dividends.

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

The #1 most transferable skill of all time is learning how to climb skill trees, especially ones that are brutally hierarchical.

This meta-skill is abstract, but you acquire it by practicing on particulars. You lean into specific domains and acquire measurable, demonstrable skills.

Once you get a feeling for the process, you see it everywhere.

Pavel Durov on why he hasn't had depression in 20 years:

"I normally never have depression. I don't remember having depression in the last 20 years, at least maybe when I was a teenager."

Pavel's approach to difficult emotions is completely counterintuitive.

As he puts it:

"I'm a human being like everybody else. I do get to experience emotions and some of them are not very pleasant. But I believe that it's the responsibility of every one of us to cope with these emotions and to learn to work through them."

On what creates depression:

"Self-discipline is particularly important because without it, how can you overcome this seemingly endless loop of negativity or despair that ultimately leads to depression for some people?"

His method:

"One of the reasons I don't have depression is I start doing things. I identify the problem, I can see a solution, and I start executing the strategy. If you are stuck in this loop of being worried about something, nothing's ever going to change."

The mistake people make:

"People often make this mistake thinking 'Oh, I should just have some rest and then regain energy.' This is not how it works. You gain energy by doing something. So you start doing something, then it happens. You feel motivated, you feel inspired, and then ultimately you do something else a little bit more."

He continues:

"The whole point is to do first and then feel, not feel and then do. Going to the gym is a good example. There are many days when you don't want to start working out. But you have to overcome this initial reluctance and then you get to a point that you enjoy it and you think 'Oh my god, it was such a good idea to come to gym today.'"

Action creates energy, not the other way around.
