It is nearly impossible to have your best idea the first time you think about something.

The most likely way to uncover important insights is to frequently revisit a problem. The longer you’re in the game, the more ideas bubble up to the surface.

Time unlocks insights.

On this day 2 years ago, I quit my job and moved to Madrid so my wife could get her MBA.

I was 25 and terrified to go solo.

But today, the little business I started brings in 5x more than I made in that job (which was a wonderful role), I write fiction ~3 hours per day, and get to shoot hoops on Tuesday afternoons.

If I was starting over, here’s what I’d tell myself:

1. Get started, get consistent, then get good.

Your early writing or business will probably suck.

Mine did.

They’ll improve but only if you give yourself permission to suck first.

2. Nobody thinks about you more than you do.

Ask for what you want. I missed a few big opportunities because I didn’t ask.

99% of the time, the worst thing that happens is someone says no.

The best thing that can happen is your life is forever changed.

3. Start your side hustle while you’re still a full-time employee.

Set a target % of your salary you want to hit.

Then, when you hit that, go all in.

It’s less risky and gives you a specific goal.

4. Chase uncapped upside.

Read “Finite & Infinite Games.”

5. Take your mental health seriously.

I never gave it two thoughts. Then got seriously depressed for a few months.

Think sleeping in until 11, laying around, super lazy, no energy, no reading, not hitting the gym.

We moved, and overnight I became my normal, happy, creative self.

Your environment matters a lot.

6. “Quality” is subjective.

No matter what you do, some people will call your stuff trash.

But others will love it.

If you’re happy with your work, ship it.

Embrace the cringe.

Write what you’d wanna read.

7. The people you look up to are also winging it.

8. Be different.

Name and Claim your category.

Then when others follow your lead, their work bolsters you.

9. What’s obvious to you isn’t obvious to others.

10. The “starving artist” doesn’t need to be you.

Creatives have more ways than ever to make money.

– Productized agency
– Educational products
�� Newsletter to drive demand

Generate revenue from Day 1.

Start an agency. Create a course. Sell something.

11. “You’re marketing to a moving parade, not a standing army.” – David Ogilvy

Say one thing 1000 different ways. Repeat the messages you believe in most. Even post the exact same thing 3-4 months later.

Put the work into building the flywheel. Then let it spin.

***

Again, this is what I’d tell myself. Some come from painful mistakes. Others come from wins.

A sign of emotional intelligence is moving from “You made me feel” to “This is how I reacted.”

Our emotions aren’t caused by other people’s actions. They’re shaped by our interpretations.

Blaming others gives them power over our feelings. Taking responsibility empowers us.

Get Unrealistic

There is a process that I have used, and still use, to reignite life...👇

Create two timelines—6 months and 12 months—and list up to five things you dream of having (including, but not limited to, material wants: house, car, clothing, etc.), being (be a great cook, be fluent in Chinese, etc.), and doing (visiting Thailand, tracing your roots overseas, racing ostriches, etc.) in that order.

If you have difficulty identifying what you want in some categories, as most will, consider what you hate or fear in each and write down the opposite.

Do not limit yourself, and do not concern yourself with how these things will be accomplished. For now, it’s unimportant. This is an exercise in reversing repression.

Be sure not to judge or fool yourself. If you really want a Ferrari, don’t put down solving world hunger out of guilt. For some, the dream will be fame, for others fortune or prestige. All people have their vices and insecurities. If something will improve your feeling of self-worth, put it down.

Drawing a blank? In that case, consider these questions:

What would you do, day to day, if you had $100 million in the bank?

What would make you most excited to wake up in the morning to another day?

Don’t rush—think about it for a few minutes.

If still blocked, fill in the five “doing” spots with the following:

one place to visit
one thing to do before you die (a memory of a lifetime) one thing to do daily
one thing to do weekly
one thing you’ve always wanted to learn

What does “being” entail doing?

Convert each “being” into a “doing” to make it actionable. Identify an action that would characterize this state of being or a task that would mean you had achieved it. People find it easier to brainstorm “being” first, but this column is just a temporary holding spot for “doing” actions.

Here are a few examples:

1) Great cook —> make Christmas dinner without help

2) Fluent in Chinese —> have a five-minute conversation with a Chinese co-worker

Determine three steps for each of the dreams in just the 6-month timeline and take the first step now.

Define three steps for each dream that will get you closer to its actualization. Set actions—simple, well-defined actions—for now, tomorrow (complete before 11 A.M.) and the day after (again completed before 11 A.M.). Once you have three steps for each of the four goals, complete the three actions in the “now” column.

Do it now. Each should be simple enough to do in five minutes or less. If not, rachet it down. If it’s the middle of the night and you can’t call someone, do something else now, such as send an e-mail, and set the call for first thing tomorrow.

If the next stage is some form of research, get in touch with someone who knows the answer instead of spending too much time in books or online, which can turn into paralysis by analysis.

The best first step, the one I recommend, is finding someone who’s done it and ask for advice on how to do the same.
