People hate this... but it's so necessary

When you have something of great value to offer the world, don't beat around the bush or use metaphors. Offer it plainly, without filters. Straightforward and unapologetic. You have great ideas. Tell everyone. You are doing a great job. Tell everyone, especially to your boss. Don’t wait for the annual review… too many things will happen from today until the next raise is decided. You have a great product. Tell everyone. This is exactly how I operate when a company asks me for an audit or consultancy, when someone asks me for mentorship. I tell it like it is, which usually doesn’t match what they want to hear. I say it with fewer words and less formality than they’d like. I reduce their business to a single sentence and their problem to a couple of words. And sometimes it stings. But it always heals. And fast. I have a mentorship package. Some have asked for it. You can buy it as a gift for you, your loved one, your brother, your company, or your dog. ​Mentorship Package - $899​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

I said many times...
According to constraint theory, the greatest human bottleneck is attention. Yes. Our attention is our most finite resource. Even more finite and valuable than our time. Now, think about why Meta is so valuable. And Elon wanted X. And so on… Indeed, the quality and depth of our attention determines the quality of our time. Most people’s attention is scattered, tugged, and seemingly never right here and right now. The rich know this well. In the US, the top 1% don’t allow kids to interact with...
Human emotions spread fast. Very fast. Much faster than any virus. If you go to a stadium and the home team is winning, there’s an explosion of joy. The exact opposite happens if they lose at the last minute. It’s contagious. Inevitable. If your little boy takes her first steps, the huge look of surprise and joy on his face will infect you instantly. That’s who we are. It’s our nature. You don’t need a PPP Certificate from the World Bank to understand this. So… If you spend your life watching...
