Morning, Hope you’ve had an amazing week, smashing goals and setting the bar higher. So… my product launch is finally behind us, and I’ve been doing some reflecting (as always 😅). Some things went really well, and others… well, let’s just say they went hilariously sideways. Like, the kind of wrong you have to laugh at or you’ll cry. But hey, that’s also the game, right?

P.S. If you’re actively running a business, I've got something special for you at the bottom. Keep reading. Something to make you think: "You don't need to sound smart. You don't need to look cool. You just need to take action. When people get stuck and desperately want to get out, they wonder what to do. They spend so much time wondering what to do that they become even more stuck. Yet, the answer is right there in front of them. Action. It's always action." Something to make you act. One of...

P.S. If you’re actively running a business, I've got something special for you at the bottom. Keep reading. Something to make you think: "How to deal with toxic people. Keep the conversation neutral. Keep the conversation brief. Keep the conversation superficial. They don't need more information. They don't need more fuel. They don't need your vulnerability. Keep the good stuff for those you trust." Something to make you act. The other day, one of you stopped me in the street - (Shoutout...

P.S. If you’re actively running a business, I've got something special for you at the bottom. Keep reading. Something to make you think: "How to overcome doubts about what you can achieve. Doubt the doubts themselves. Once you start doing this, you’ll have very few doubts left. And you'll be free to achieve anything you want." Something to make you act. When I was building Fanbytes, the single biggest problem I had was hiring. Especially when scaling. At first, I thought it was me. I was the...

P.S If you’re actively running a business, I've got something special for you at the bottom. Keep reading. Something to make you think. "It’s never you vs everyone else. It’s just you vs everyone’s opinion. So why is their opinion better than yours?" Something to make you act. I’ve recently been reading a book called Bumpers. It’s written by Nic Peterson, the guy who taught Alex Hormozi the model of doing gym turnarounds. One of the most impactful things in the book is something called the...

Something to make you think: "A child who does not travel believes their mama is the best cook." You don't grow by staying comfortable. You need perspective. You need change. You need challenge. Without this, your lack of experience sets limitations on your potential. Push yourself and try something new. It's so important. Something to make you act: Often when you read newsletters like these or watch podcasts with your favourite creators, and they give you advice, there's often a voice in the...

Something to make you think: "The path does not close for him who steps back." Admitting your mistakes and changing course keeps doors open to you. Pivot. Adapt. React. Improve. Progress isn't linear. (P.S. If you liked this proverb, you should read this one I shared earlier in the week) Something to make you act: This week I set myself and a couple of friends a challenge. To create a business in 8 hours. Tactically this included: A working product. A landing page & funnel. A marketing &...

Something to make you think: Stop trying to convince people who are scared of believing in themselves to be more ambitious. Go alone. Those who really want it will catch up.

Rocket Internet are known as the clone factory. They built an Ebay clone and sold it back to Ebay for $43 million in 90 days. They built a Groupon...
