Push higher, just 3 minutes a day
Hi Reader,
"A leader has to say no more often than they say yes."
- Cameron Herold
Learning to say no is crucial.
It drives better decision-making, efficiency, and focuses on what truly matters.
Become a leader who knows the value of denying unnecessary distractions.

This hit me like a brick
I've been diving deep into business models and leadership.
Not to appease but to stay true to the core strategy.
I learned that cutting the excess instead of just looking for more revenue can be a game changer.
Building a business isn't about constant expansion. It's about focus, discipline, and strategic cuts.
Embracing these principles can steer around unnecessary waste and drive real progress.
It's not just about personal growth; it's about fostering a culture where everyone thrives.

PEAK INSIGHTS

PEAK POTENTIAL
Energy management is key to peak performance.
Tony Schwartz, CEO of The Energy Project, advises balancing intense work with breaks to recharge both energy and creativity. Start by scheduling 90-minute focused work sessions followed by short breaks.
Challenge: Implement this schedule for a week and assess if productivity and quality of work improve.
Rise and rise again until lambs become lions (in 3 minutes)
