You don’t need more discipline... ...you need fewer decisions. Start by deleting or delegating anything you’d be relieved to never do again. Seriously, pick ONE thing right now... I bet the world keeps on turning.

This is so true. More times than not, when a manager asks for more people it’s a sign they’re out of their depth. Are their exceptions? Of course. But experienced managers establish a plan for new hires on the basis of growth…not overwhelm.

I’ve found nearly every time someone asks for more people on their team, its a sign of bigger issues. Usually it’s the sign of a weak leader and lots of inefficiencies. We once had a director who asked for 3 additional direct reports. We let him go and hired one person who is

One of my companies paid a consultant $4K a month for almost 2 years, and no one knew why. (The person who hired him quit and didn't tell anyone the contract auto-renewed.) Stuff like this happens all the time, which is why I created my "Profit Lead Audit." I'm breaking down https://t.co/dP5xYLNmpU

Culture scales fast. Especially the bad parts.

If your “productivity” doesn’t produce a "product," it's not productivity... ... it’s just motion sickness.

Attention Founder/CEOs: If you aren't leaving space on your calendar for the unexpected, you’ve already failed... ...you just don't know it yet. Starting today, schedule a 90-minute "meeting" with yourself at least twice a week, and let it "fill" with important and non-urgent

Scaling isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing LESS of the stuff you shouldn’t have been doing in the first place.

I’ve seen $2M founders take home $1M... …and $6M founders take home $0. Welcome to No Man’s Land: Will you go forward or will you go back?

If the task is: ✅ Low impact ✅ Low skill ✅ Low joy …then there is zero justification for you doing it.

Most CEOs don’t burn out because they’re lazy... ...they burn out because they’re doing everyone else’s job. How about you?

Talked to a guy who says he makes $100k a month No employees Works from home Only works 3 minutes a day 100% net margins How? He is a compulsive liar who makes up his revenue numbers

The more indispensable you are, the more trapped you are. Your goal is NOT to be needed. Your goal is to be free.

Bad news for business owners: You can't GROW your way out of chaos.... You can't HIRE your way out of dysfunction... You can't HUSTLE your way out of broken systems... ...at some point, your only option is to upgrade the "operating system" that's running your business. (And

You'll never know everything. You'll never have all the answers ahead of time. The difference between entrepreneurs and everyone else is that we do it anyway.
