I help people and businesses build the life they want

I do this using Product Management methods and concepts

1. Figuring out the vision.
2. Making a plan.
3. Making sure you stick with the plan.
4. Adjusting as needed.

Here's what ppl say about it 👇🏼

Entrepreneur avoid the reactivity trap!

Jumping on every request or issue that comes up.
"Got to answer them. Don't want to delay them!"

You won't accomplish anything if you let others dictate what you work on.

You'll hate your day-to-day and your company will suffer.

@PrestonJClark @p_millerd @david_perell @vgr I'm not sure myself as well, but the way I understand it is:

You can pick 2 out of the 3.
You have to sacrafice one.

What you do
How you live
How you work

Q's
1. Which 2 do you pick?
2. Looking at your life as it is, which 2 are you picking?

“You’re nothing without discipline"

Than a kind voice comes in:
"Do it like you love it. It'll help you grow."

[Eitan @cool_idea]

“You’re nothing without discipline.

Cause you give out under the slightest struggle without discipline.”

“Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it.”

Whenever I don't feel like doing something I hear Mike's voice in my head 👇🏽

@ant_murphy This reminds me of L. David Marquet saying:
"MOVE AUTHORITY TO INFORMATION"

Don't move information to authority.

Whenever the world tells you: “You’re not good enough”

The fight is how do you not take it personal and leverage it as raw material and fuel to improve yourself.

There's A LOT to learn from the first 2-minutes of this video

Learn to ask for help from a 20yr-old Tom Brady

Like many young athletes, Brady was hungry, BUT he took it a step further.
He knew to ask for help.

”It’s a rare moment when a kid would show up at my office saying 'I need some support'.
That was Tom Brady, at 20! 👇🏽

[Eitan @cool_idea]

Greg Harden spoke to all the freshmen on the team, but only one kept coming back for help and applied the advice.
Every week, before every game.

Brady didn't always hear what he wanted to hear. But he knew it wasn't personal. He knew that Harden was trying to help him. 👇🏽

Next time you a yuk task, love it for the opportunity it’s giving you to improve yourself.

What vitamin would you add?

Learn about self-discipline from the greatest marathon runner ever

Eliud Kipchoge is the first person ever to run a marathon in less than 2-hours 🤯

He talks about the importance of self-discipline as vitamins you can take daily.

Here are the vitamins he recommends 👇🏽

[Eitan @cool_idea]

Turn it around 180°, tell yourself the exact opposite.
“I have to pay the bills” → “I get to pay the bills because I’m lucky to have a place to stay in”
“I have to run in the rain” → “I get to workout in harsh conditions. I’ll be ready for hard times.”

[Eitan @cool_idea]

It's risky, messy and takes time. You won't get it on the first try.

But when you do it's special, it changes you, even if what you created sucks.

[Eitan @cool_idea]

Thoughts on the process of creation

There are as many ideas as they were ever clouds in the sky.

The challenge is focusing on a single cloud and over time compressing it, transforming it from vapor into something real and tangible.

👇🏽

[Eitan @cool_idea]

Something which captures an emotion or solves a problem, or makes someone feel or simply takes weight off the creators shoulders.

Trouble is clouds, like ideas are elusive and ever changing.

There's something magical about balance

Ppl see a balanced rock and say: "It looks magical!"

But balance is also a prison. You can't move.
If the rock moves a degree it'll fall. Magic lost.

I don't want to be trapped by balance.
When I leave the site I knock over the rocks.

Trying to get rid of a bad habit?

This is how I stopped a few bad habits

1. Want to change the behavior

2. Awareness. Notice when I'm doing the behavior.
No judging.
Just say "You're doing X"

3. Specific action plan - Using @bjfogg or @JamesClear methods

Hope it'll help you
