7/ Setting Tangible Challenges: Move from wishful thinking to concrete goals. Specific, measurable challenges can drive momentum and hold you accountable. Setting up a challenge introduces a deadline, and a deadline can spur action. Action, over time, turns into habits.

1/ The Power of Consistency: Pat built a million-dollar business by dedicating just two hours a day at Starbucks for a year. Small consistent efforts compound over time.

2/ Avoiding Shiny Object Syndrome: It's easy to get distracted by new ideas. Pat would get thrilled by new ideas but lost interest when things got tough. For two years, he jumped from idea to idea, getting distracted by fresh ones. Focus and consistency are the antidotes.

@nico_jeannen Take randomness into account and bet on yourself. If you’re going to persevere long enough, you’ll figure it out no matter what.

@notstressedceo The problem with SEO scammers is that you’ll realize that you’re going in the wrong direction too late.

8/ Detailed Planning: Divide goals into actionable tasks. Clear focus = quick progress. Pat used Post-its: separate stack for "To-dos" & "Completed". Move Post-its when done for a real achievement feel. Atomic Work: Divide big tasks (e.g., "build a website") into smaller steps.

@Moles_Harding @watsonmarkj @xruiztru Average young Italians can't afford to live on their own. Lots of 30 year olds are living with their parents since it is impossible to survive on a 1200-1500 € salary, especially in the big cities.

@freddsomm @levelsio Yup. There was even a bit of boost in publicity from the forbes articles. Can a personal brand and distribution (followers) be considered a proxy to marketing and sales?

@ProfSteveKeen @nntaleb What if you were to abolish the fabrications of university economics and the useless jargon and approach the issue from a trader’s perspective? There is never a single price for anything (that’s an accounting abstraction), there are always two sides: the bid and the ask. You’re

6/ Innovate, Don't Imitate: Don't just copy ideas. After you've done your research, bring your unique perspective and twist to an existing concept.

@OneRelentlessMF Without intros & references, it's better to adopt a leaner approach in cold campaigning. This means sending more emails with less effort per email, enabling you to get some clue about the prospect's intent & openness. It makes sense to proceed with more effort per email and
