It’s nearly useless to take advice from billionaires, both literal and figurative. Even if the advice is interesting.

The problems, challenges & pitfalls that threaten someone in the top 0.001% of their field (business, athletics, acting, storytelling, etc) are so utterly exotic and irrelevant that you might as well be asking King Charles for advice on how to renovate a bathroom on a budget.

Instead, find people who’ve accomplished what you aspire to achieve - starting from the same place you are currently - in the next two years, five years or maybe ten years (at the most)

2-5 years is the best range IMO.

Listen to people who’ve actually had your problems, and how they overcame them.

Don’t just follow the advice verbatim - it has to be adapted to your natural tendencies and situational reality - but at least it will be relevant and actionable.

It doesn’t matter what Elon Musk thinks about entrepreneurship, or what Tom Cruise thinks about filmmaking, or what Khabib thinks about MMA, or what Joe Rogan thinks about podcasts…

They’re each coming from a completely different set of realities than what you face, today.

And if you try to solve $100K level problems with $100M level solutions, so to speak, it’s easy to get way over your skis in complexity & bloat - and failure is practically assured.

Maybe a better analogy is if you’re 300 lbs and trying to get in shape, trying to go through a Navy SEAL bootcamp is likely going to end in cardiac arrest.

Find a mountain you can actually climb.

The mere mention of the word "restructuring" is enough to shake up corporate souls. Here 👇 is a an interesting conversation between @andrewtghill, @CArmstrongLDN and @IsabelBerwick on this topic.

[Andrew Hill @andrewtghill]

How to survive corporate restructuring - “a fundamental shaking of people’s identity” - @CArmstrongLDN and I had fun talking about this serious topic to @IsabelBerwick for the latest edition of the FT’s Working It https://t.co/eVN0MtVNaf

[alaric mostyn @stonecourtbrief]

To reinforce that layoff programmes are short-term and ignore longer term costs, new research published in @HarvardBiz by @didierelzinga & Amy Lavoie shows the hit to employee engagement among those people remaining takes years to recover, with a direct link to performance.

[alaric mostyn @stonecourtbrief]

Most restructuring and employee layoffs are done for short-term or bad reasons or they are badly handled. @CArmstrongLDN @andrewtghill on the @FT Working It Podcast talking (un)common sense on how to manage layoffs better and avoid the worst errors. https://t.co/HTEBQOUtMj

[Eat Sleep Work Repeat @EatSleepWkRpt]

"There's no single worse thing you can say to someone who is burnt out than 'Why don't you go for a walk?'"

Myself and Christine Armstrong talked about an inspirationally candid LinkedIn post about burn out - and what any of us can do to beat it.

@brucedaisley Great to chat about the link between high salaries & RTO, the Amazon ripple (riptide?) and the impact of cleaning your own bathroom!

@IABUK @GoodLoopAmy @GoodLoopHQ @aflorithmic I’ve never written a blog in my life!

[Sharon O'Dea @sharonodea]

A project I worked on had Fix It Fridays, where the digital team were encouraged to, one Friday a month, take time out to fix a process that wasn’t working, or spend a day working at the frontline to understand how stuff actually worked.

Got SO many good ideas from it.

@HRTechUK Erm, where is mine?!! 🤪
