🦾 The Principles of Success
Melius Humano,
I've been recruiting lately for a few new positions.
It's forced me to clarify what I look for, and what I've found is the key to "success" in a working life.
Here are the few principles I've identified:
The ability to do Deep Work (2-4 hours a day of undisturbed focus time on high-value work)
Good and open attitude (growth mindset)
Candor (say what you need and mean right away)
Ownership (take complete ownership of your mind and life)
Don't force (wu wei)
Take these FIRST PRINCIPLES and then NEVER QUIT and you will accomplish great things.
Guaranteed.
Worth a glance
I struggle with this one myself as we want to own some land and build a home/perfect lifestyle for our family.
But buying right now just looks financially nonsensical.
We’re moving out of Austin partly for this reason: bec the cost of life and what we get as a standard of living doesn’t match up.
