📚 3 Good Recommendations
You Have to Enjoy It a Lot
by Naval Ravikant (3 mins)
- Summary: Marketing has many viable channels; long-term success comes from choosing a medium (talking, writing, video, etc.) that matches your natural interests and doing it obsessively—audiences feel genuine enthusiasm (e.g., Joe Rogan).
- Ideal for: Founders, creators, and marketers deciding how to promote a business or personal brand; teams choosing roles/co-founders based on “specific knowledge” and preferred mediums.
- Why It’s Worth Your Time: Aligning work with what you love prevents burnout, signals authenticity, and compounds skill—while systematic experimentation helps you discover the business–medium fit in a world of unlimited options.
Precision vs. Tolerance: The Balance Between Details That Matter and Those That Don’t
by Mike Vardy (5 mins)
- Summary: A small newsletter-numbering mistake sparks a larger point: productive time management requires balancing precision (details that change outcomes) with tolerance (flexibility that preserves momentum). Be exact only where it truly matters; let minor imperfections go.
- Ideal for: Founders, PMs, and creators prone to over-polishing.
- Why It’s Worth Your Time: Simple rules (non-negotiables, buffers, attention audits, time-theming) that curb perfectionism and speed meaningful work.
You're Setting Goals Wrong
by Alex Hormozi(19 mins)
- Summary: You’re “busy but broke” because effort is split across too many projects. Real strategy = prioritizing limited resources against unlimited options—pick one true priority, cut off alternatives, and execute sequentially. Frequent changes impose an immediate ~20% dip before any upside, so stop “starting four parties” at once and focus until you hit critical mass.
- Ideal for: Founders/operators juggling initiatives or stalled around $1–$10M.
- Why It’s Worth Your Time: Focus everything on the single bottleneck; only pursue >20%-upside bets; backlog the rest—faster execution, momentum, profit.
