What are you holding back on?
💪 Featured Productivity Tool
Combine spreadsheets in ChatGPT.

📈 The Fastest Changing Industries in the US
I don’t think this is terribly surprising. The US has been trending away from manufacturing and more into services for many years.
It IS interesting to see coal mining decrease almost as much as “mining support” has increased.

😌 Decision-making Idea
The Bandwagon Effect: Ideas, trends, and beliefs grow more and more as more people adopt them.
Example: Your friend discovered cryptocurrency from a friend of a friend. They try to sell you on the idea, and all of a sudden it’s all you hear about!
Disclaimer: I do not have a firm understanding of the cryptosphere. 😂
🧠 Quote of the Week
If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.
What I think:
This about creating and selling a vision.
This is something that I see becoming more important day by day.
The vision for a company defines its guiding principles, and having a personal vision for your life can help you stay focused on your path.
My vision is to help 10M high-achieving professionals define and develop their daily habits so that they can transcend into their ideal self.
What about you?
Do you have a personal vision statement?
Thank you so much for spending some of you precious time with me. 🙂
I’m always looking to improve, so hit “reply” and let me know what you think!
Have an awesome week.
Sincerely,
Steven Sanders
