Ladies & Gentlemen, if you didn't know this already, AI is real life replacing people.

I added @get_viktor_com to my teams Slack, and I'm honestly blown away by what all it can do.

[Martell Fletcher @martellfletcher]

I think success or failure in any area of life for 99.99% percent of people ultimately comes down to two things.

1. Doing or not doing what needs to be done.
2. Doing or not doing what's necessary to find out what needs to be done.

An obstacle and the end of the road are not the same. In order to overcome an obstacle I'll either have to reroute or use other methods to continue to progress forward.

...sounds like common sense until the obstacle is in front of you 😉

Philippians 4:6-7 KJV — Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you sell a one time purchase product or service that costs $2000+ and you don't have a financing option...
(Aka You get paid in full upfront, the customer pays in small payments over time)

You playing games.

The sad truth is that most of the great advice you have won't be taken seriously. They don't think you're that much further ahead than they are.

My $0.02:
If you really want to help... #Execute. Then once they start asking, repeat what you already told them.

The next time things get tough, remember this:

The thing that stops most of us from doing what needs to be done (this could be making a phone call, regular work activities, etc.) is you. This is called resistance.

It's just mental. You CAN overcome it.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't have a budget issue. You just need to make more money.

If you act like everyday is Day 1, you'll never get complacent.

I think compromising in a relationship is necessary, but I also think it's important to make sure you're not compromising so much that you become someone that you never wanted to be.

What they do is who they are, not what they say...

The Motto
"I Will Win Regardless"

[Martell Fletcher @martellfletcher]

If you care about whether I'm setting myself up for the future or not pay attention to WHAT I DO not where I live, what I wear, or what I drive. UNINFORMED Good Advice is the same as a DISTRACTION to me.

...but I appreciate you though.

I’ve always wondered how CEO’s run billion dollar companies and thought "could I do that?"

Then I learned from a friend at Salesforce how Marc Benioff does it with his executive team, and it blew my mind how simple it was.

Here’s how he does it:
1) Each team leader submits a plan (grow 20% is Benioff’s metric)
2) If you’re hitting the plan, meet once a quarter.
3) If you’re missing the plan, meet once a week (until you hit the plan)
4) Ask: What got done? What worked? What didn’t work? How do we know it worked?

A BILLION DOLLAR company running a playbook so simple you can run it with a small team.

The way that Jensen Huang runs Nvidia is wild:

40 direct reports, no 1:1s
- Believes that the flattest org is the most empowering one, and that starts with the top layer
- Does not conduct 1:1s - everything happens in a group setting
- Does not give career advice - "None of my management team is coming to me for career advice - they already made it, they're doing great"

No status reports, instead he "stochastically samples the system"
- Doesn't use status updates because he believes they are too refined by the time they get to him. They are not ground truth anymore.
- Instead, anyone in the company can email him their "top five things" with whatever is top of mind, and he will read it
- Estimates he reads 100 of these everyone morning

Everyone has all the context, all the time
- No meetings with just VPs or just Directors - anyone can join and contribute
- "If you have a strategic direction, why tell just one person?"
- "If there is something I don't like, I just say it publicly"
- "I do a lot of reasoning out loud"

No formal planning cycles
- No 5 year plan, no 1 year plan
- Always re-evaluating based on changing business and market conditions (helpful when AI is developing at the pace that it is)

This org is optimized for (1) attracting amazing people, (2) keeping the team as small as it can be, and (3) allowing information to travel as quickly as possible
