@ExcelHumor Alt + = to insert a sum() function

@joshuamschultz Have used @ynab for ~3 yrs and love it for budgeting and spend/net worth tracking. The marketing is geared more towards folks with limited experience managing finances, but it’s excellent for all experience/income levels. Great tool and an even better philosophy of budgeting.

@NikMilanovic Alt + OHR to rename the active worksheet

[Jed Easterbrook @jed_easterbrook]

Relatively simple, but certainly not easy. Appreciate this accessible and actionable framework, @WilsonCompanies. This is an excellent complement to @laughridge’s thread on buying a SMB.

[John Wilson @WilsonCompanies]

This is a very long thread. @SamtLeslie asked to give the playbook for service companies so here it is. Follow it and you’ll get to 5M+ in a few years.

This is pure operations playbook.

No leadership, financial or HR discussion. Enjoy.

‘Fake vs real’ isn’t the right axis – the distinction is what is the size of the system that produced it.

My conversation with the great @samhinkie on finding your people.

We discuss:

- compounding capital, wisdom and trust
- following breadcrumbs
- playing the long game
- his new firm, Eighty-Seven Capital

An all time favorite. Enjoy!

I like this. Chasing efficiency/productivity solely for their own sakes = great way to burn out. As @patrick_oshag (or an @InvestLikeBest guest?) says, "optimize for joy." Joy begets sustainable, long-term productivity.

A Few Things I'm Pretty Sure About

Most jobs would benefit from at least 1 a day month where you did nothing but think. No meetings, no calls, no deliverables. Just a seat on the couch thinking about what’s working, what’s not, and what to do about it.

@StrongpointRich @aebridgeman @laughridge @sweatystartup @ynab Certainly can be the case, depending on your desired level of granularity (I.e., how many spending categories do you want to track?). I made the mistake of getting too granular at the outset, but have since settled into a routine that takes ~15 min/month.

[Jed Easterbrook @jed_easterbrook]

@aebridgeman @StrongpointRich @laughridge @sweatystartup @aebridgeman FWIW, I’ve found @YNAB to be excellent for budgeting/tracking at any level of granularity - far better than Mint and PersCap, imo. A great balance of automation and manual involvement.

[Jason Zweig @jasonzweigwsj]

OK, people.
Listen up.

Put down whatever you're doing.

Go to a quiet place.

Read this 👇 carefully.

It is the deepest and most moving thing you will read this week.

Then ponder your own life and luck.

You will be wiser for it.
