The forgotten self : Those who forget who they are, A poet counting spreadsheets,

The doubted Self : Those who doubt who they are, Butterflies questioning their wings,

The feared self : Those who are afraid of who they are, History whispering warnings in the ears of the great

Before a diamond questions it’s worth, it must first forget its journey from coal.

In the chambers of humans struggle, there are four discovery I have found :

The unknown self : Those don’t know who they are, People who are reading scripts written for different actors,

Some key takeaways:
1. Don’t outsource your critical thinking. Whether it’s a two-hour brainstorming session or a solitary quiet hour, prioritize time to think about your strategies and decisions.

2. Your activation metric doesn’t have to be perfect. Choose something your team can rally around, like “7 friends in 10 days.” What matters most is that it gives everyone a common goal to work toward.

3. Remember the mantra “Pressure is a privilege.” When faced with high-stakes situations, acknowledge the opportunity that comes with it. Use the pressure as a motivation to elevate your performance, and embrace the challenges as a chance for growth.

4. When hiring, prioritize hiring “disagreeable givers”—people who are committed to the organization’s success but aren’t afraid to voice differing opinions. This diversity of thought can drive innovation and improve decision-making.

5. Create a central, canonical document for each project that outlines key information: work streams, owners, processes, and meeting norms. This ensures that everyone has access to the same information and can reference it as needed, reducing confusion and miscommunication.

6. When running meetings:
a. Send an agenda with pre-read materials 24 hours in advance
b. Use visuals to anchor discussions
c. Present three options with a recommendation for decisions
d. Real-time edit decisions and next steps
e. Send follow-up notes within 24 hours

Avoid Diluting Talent

What’s the fastest way to turn a 10x Sales staff into a 1x Sales staff? Surround them with 0.1x Sales staff😊

Maintain quality by ensuring each department head has extensive experience in their field, rather than promoting inexperienced long-time employees

Be compressible

[Adewami @nativessence]

A big idea can be compressed into a beautiful 1-liner

General ambition will give you anxiety , Specific ambition will give you direction.

[Adewami @nativessence]

Read like an eagle hunting my it’s prey, not a dog obeying its master.

Search for the overstated, understated and the unstated everytime you read a book.

[Adewami @nativessence]

You waste years by wasting hours,

Sometimes , things that don’t look productive ( time to think, meditation) can save you years of wasted effort and be the most productive thing you can do.

[Adewami @nativessence]

And then one day, you find ten years have got behind you ,

No one told you when to run, and you’ve missed the starting gun.

Success often hinges on leveraging the right time and relationships.

[Adewami @nativessence]

Trust.

Love all, but reward differently.

Deploy Premium to Faithful and Loyal relationships.

Whatever you know, someone knows much more.

Be teachable.

There are lots of people who haven’t walked in your shoes that can help you overcome lots of issues in your life.

[Adewami @nativessence]

You have no one to help you because you chose to make friends with people who don’t like you instead of people who can help you.

You made that decision.

[Adewami @nativessence]

You can’t receive pity and power from the same source.

If you are blind, other blind people can bring you comfort but not change.

Freedom is not just what you are free to do , Freedom is also what you are free from doing anymore.
