Usipange matumizi kwa ahadi za watu. Usitoe ahadi kwa hela zilizoko mifukoni mwa watu.

I think the pandemic served as a reminder for so many people that we are collectively chasing the wrong things. And the world has started since then a massive recalibration.

I think it's the reason behind so many people trying to escape the rat race. Valuing freedom and flexibility over higher salaries to be able to spend our time in more balanced ways; both in practices of self-care and taking care of our loved ones.

We are more than our career or our income. And the world as a whole needs to reconnect to deeper meaning and purpose.

The edge is in the inputs.

The person who consumes from better sources, gets better thoughts. The person who asks better questions, gets better answers. The person who builds better habits, gets better results.

It’s not the outcomes. It’s the inputs.

I’ve said that you should offer to work for free for someone to learn from them. Two caveats:

1) Go for someone 1-2 steps ahead of you, not 20. Elon musk doesn’t need someone getting his coffee.

2) Don’t offer to do stuff for free. DO IT. Don’t ask “how can I provide value?”

^It’s now costing me time to try and figure out a way for you to provide value to me.

Be an adult. Do your homework. Figure out what you can do. Then DO IT. And expect that the person won’t care.

Then keep doing it. And if it’s good, they’ll give you a shot.

You gotta remember - you’re the one with everything to gain here.

Low skilled labor is not in short supply. And training people is expensive.

So - if you want someone further ahead to give you a hand, give them something they’d wanna stick out their hand for.

And if no one is taking you up on your offer, you’ve gotta make it better. Simple as that.

And real talk - sometimes timing isn’t right. I had someone ask to translate one of my books for me. I was distracted. And I said I don’t have time for this now. Guy took it personally. 6 months later I hired a book manager and we’re translating in a lot of languages now. If he reached out now - it would probably work out. No different effort. Just timing FOR ME.

An offer I would take is something that helps me NOW. Make my life easier and faster INCLUDING the interaction w the person (hard hurdle).

Real real - if you wanna do something for me you’re probably gonna have to do work for a leader in my company. Then they’ll offer you a job and I won’t be involved.

Anyways - the work for free cheat sheet:
1) Target people a couple steps ahead not eons ahead.
2) Provide the value first. Don’t ask what you can do.
3) Make then an offer so good theyd feel stupid saying no: what they want, easier, faster, risk free.

—>and realize that the timing may not be right - and be willing to ask more than one person or ask again in the future without getting butthurt.

Just start.

Start slow if you have to. Start small if you have to. Start privately if you have to.

In a panel discussion at the #ShapersSummit today, we had the opportunity to talk more about one of our projects, #BroTalks. It was a fascinating conversation in which we learnt about what other hubs are doing on subjects such as #mentalhealth, #menstruation, and #climatechange.

"Self care takes effort. It doesn’t just happen.

The body and mind need to be maintained. Similar to a garden, without effort, weeds will pop up and overtake everything.

With a bit of consistent pruning, the results can be beautiful."

"Life is a series of tradeoffs, and greater results usually require greater tradeoffs.

The question is not, "Do you want to be great at this?"

The question is, "What are you willing to give up in order to be great at this?"

[Tim Urban @waitbutwhy]

We're wired to care deeply about what other people think of us. Worrying about this can influence our life choices and hold us back from living our best lives.

Good continual reminder: everyone's actually focused on their own lives and not thinking about yours.

Today we officially launched the @SimbaSCTanzania App, for both Android and iOS. It’s something we’ve been working on for months now, primarily to bring fans closer to Simba than ever before.

The app is just one piece. The goal is world-class digital transformation. #NguvuMoja🚀
