[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

The number one mistake leaders make is expecting their employees to work as hard as they do - but employees don't own the business.

You can't hold someone to an owner's standard when they're not compensated like one. That's a fake expectation, and it's on you, not them.

[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

A great leader eliminates fear. A terrible leader weaponizes fear.

WhatsApp debería tener la opción de cerrar sesión o apagar para que no te lleguen más mensajes sin necesidad de desconectarse del resto del teléfono

If you don't have a goal so meaningful it makes other people's opinions irrelevant, you will lose control of your life. You will adopt the goals assigned to you by your parents, peers, or society.

Life advice nobody told you: Having fun is the ultimate long-term competitive advantage. You can never bet against the person who just seems to have fun doing the work. When you’re having fun, you’re more likely to give your full attention and energy to something. You’re more likely to do it for a long time. You’re more likely to be willing to do the boring basics that most people skip. Lean into the things that feel fun. It’s the clearest edge you can find.

Instead of worrying that humanities degrees don’t prepare students for jobs in today’s world [product managers finance consultants startups], we should worry that we’ve created a world with such little value for literature, art, philosophy—anything that expresses the human soul

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

I often wonder how many extraordinary people wasted their entire lives waiting for permission that never came. Nobody tells you this: Permission isn't granted. It's taken. You get to tap yourself in whenever you want. You can just do things.

Something I noticed about genuinely happy people: They're doing less than you. They have fewer goals. Fewer appointments. Fewer obligations. They've learned that addition by subtraction is real. While you're optimizing every minute, they're sitting on their porch drinking coffee. They're not lazy. They just figured out that most of what we chase doesn't matter. Busy is a choice. Peace is too. One looks successful. The other actually is.

Every layoff is a reminder that loyalty flows in one direction.

Your security comes from your ability, not from your employer.

[M Bleu @soymbleu]

¿Sabes qué es realmente una estafa?
Pagarle a alguien para que viva los mejores momentos de tus hijos.
mientras tú trabajas para poder pagarle.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

The most important thing family teaches you is how to actively love a person you don’t necessarily like.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

You don’t get to decide what other people do.

You only get to decide what you do and how to respond to what other people do.

URGE la vuelta de los hobbies en esta sociedad. No todo puede ser un potencial emprendimiento alguien tiene que hacer cosas porque le gustan y las disfruta sin pretender monetizarlo.

[Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. @hubermanlab]

Reminder: You’re allowed to have fun working really hard. And when working really hard isn’t fun, you’re supposed to do it anyway.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

The clearest sign you’re working on the right thing: It gets you out of your own head. You stop overthinking. There’s no anxiety about the future. There’s just energy in the present. Flow. Lean into the things (and people) that get you out of your head.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Remember: People will tell you that you can’t do something simply because they believe they can’t do it.

Your success reminds them of their failures.

[Justin Welsh @thejustinwelsh]

Spending 40 years in a job you dislike so you can retire and finally live is the worst deal in human history.

I'd rather fail 100x starting my own thing than spend half my life feeling resentful.

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

A mentor once told me: "When you feel overwhelmed, remember, the mind calms when the hands move. Stop trying to fix everything. Fix one thing. Momentum starts microscopic. Ask: 'What actually needs me right now?' Then do just that, nothing else."

[Alex Lieberman @businessbarista]

The #1 reason I became an entrepreneur maybe isn't obvious.

Making money is great. But that's not it.
Working with incredible people is awesome. But also not it.
Scratching my intellectual itch is fulfilling. But not #1.

The #1 reason I'm an entrepreneur is freedom.
The ability to control my destiny.
Not having a boss.
And being able to do whatever the fuck I want.

THAT is why I'm an entrepreneur.

[Justin Welsh @thejustinwelsh]

Whenever I compare myself to other people, I remember something simple:

The things they have are from journeys they went on that I have no interest in.
