Overcomplicating is procrastination for the book-smart

This screenshot is a Sales 101 course.

1) People buy four things: time, money, approval, and peace of mind.

2) People don't care about you. They care about the problem you're solving for them.

3) If you want to sell things, focus on being valuable and useful.

Zero exceptions.

☑ Blue collar or white collar
☑ Educated or drop out
☑ Creative or manual worker

You need to build multiple streams of income.

Line cook? Diversify:

If you seek work-life balance, get a job.

If you seek total freedom on an accelerated timeframe, forget balance.

By definition you desire the extreme.

And extreme outcomes require extreme investments.

You’ll be much happier and empathetic if you internalize Hanlon's razor:

“Do not attribute to malice that which can be explained by ignorance.”

People aren’t out to get you. They’re too busy stumbling around in a fog of confusion.

@naval Literally so.

The word paradise comes from the ancient Persian word for garden / orchard.

@JasonYanowitz @naval In fact, literally “enclosed garden.”

@FastCompany Celebrity gossip is like sugar— a short-lived rush of distraction that leaves you crashing and unfulfilled.

@businessinsider Job security is a myth.

@ramit Overanalysis paralysis.

A particularly devastating form of procrastination because it masquerades as productivity.

@TheAlphaThought People fear judgement.

But if you want to make an impact, it’s far preferable to be judged than ignored.

@shaneparrish If you walk your own trail, your tribe will find you and follow.

@FastCompany Texting is a tremendous channel for business communication:

✔️Favors brevity

✔️Encourages clarity of communication

✔️Asynchronous

Agree that the phone has become an under appreciated channel now as well.

People have become too accustomed to hiding behind their computers.

@visakanv Great example of leverage:

Write once. Use again and again. The knowledge is just as applicable and valuable to successive audiences.

Great storytelling is a superpower that predates civilization.

We are evolutionarily hardwired to suspend critical thinking under the spell of a skilled storyteller.

Like any tool, can be used to inspire great or horrible things.

@DivCultivator Malone is a media titan who made his fortune in cable and adjacent assets.

His family of companies — including Liberty Media and Liberty Global — have some of the most complex corporate structures in the world, all designed to minimize “tax leakage”.

@DivCultivator Everyone knows Cuban but you’ve probably never heard of Malone.

Which is crazy when you learn he’s the single largest private landowner in the United States.
