Underrated career hack for young people:

Be easy to root for.

Show up early. Do what you say you're going to do. Take things off others plates. Stay late. Work weekends. Have a great attitude. Don't gossip, whine, or complain.

Be easy to work with and hard to compete against.

In 2009, Netflix shocked everyone with a slide deck that gave employees:

• No vacation rules
• No expense limits
• And no fixed hours

Sheryl Sandberg called it "the most important document ever to come out of the Valley."

Proof that lifting heavy things brings people closer together.
Especially when someone’s floor pressing and we’re hyping it like it’s a world record. 💯�� #StrongerEveryDay #GymFam

Focus: The number of times you can say “no” to other actions/behaviors

If you lack confidence, build evidence.

[Zach Homol @zachhomol_]

If you spent less time on the phone
And more time on your goals

You’d get somewhere

The more skilled you are the lazier everyone else looks—because what you can do in a few hours, takes them six months (or never at all).

IRS: You owe us money. It's called taxes.
Me: How much?
IRS: You'll figure it out.
Me: I just pay what I think is right?
IRS: Nope. We know exactly how much. But you have to guess.
Me: What if I'm wrong?
IRS: Fees. Maybe jail. We'll see.

Fear magnifies the task; action shrinks it.

This is a teaser video because we aren't quite ready yet for sign ups BUT, the song is cool and we thought we'd post it anyway to get people stoked. We've got a couple new things this year so if you're looking for a hot girl (guy/sasquatch/whatever) summer, stay tuned.

You don’t need to chase clients.

You need to attract them with value.

Business grow to their constraint and no further.

Strategic initiatives not focused on relieving the constraint are a waste of resources.

This is why many people work, and yet, don’t grow.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

The job of the CEO:
1) Properly identify the constraint on the business
2) Solve the constraint
3) Find next constraint

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

‘Obsessed’ is a word people with low standards use to describe people with high standards.

[Collin Nilson @CollinNilson]

Removing the true constraint is critical to growth. Here are the steps:

1. Identify the Constraint
2. Make it Lean
3. Make it Better
4. Make it More
5. Make it Automatic

Rinse and repeat.

Really good

[dharmesh @dharmesh]

Wanting work-life balance is OK.

Wanting to build a breakthrough startup is OK.

But you shouldn't expect both.

In 30+ years and knowing hundreds of founders, I've never met a single founder that built a breakthrough startup while maintaining work-life balance.

Any competitive human endeavor requires sacrifice to stand-out. Whether it's athletics, arts or entrepreneurship.

Raw talent is not enough. You have to toil.

Truth

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

You can’t wish for both growth and comfort.

The price of the first is the second.
