High-performers routinely make this ONE mistake

Meet my friend Jenny.

Here's a bit about her business.

She works 20 hours a week.

Her business generates $505,000 in revenue.

Her take-home pay is $330,250 in profits.

Now the financial metrics are good. But here's where it gets spicier.

Jenny rarely checks email from her phone.

She takes 2 months off each year.

And Mondays and Fridays are her no-meeting days.

(You can read the full list in her fantastic book Free Time: Lose the busywork, love your business.)

Jenny's clearly figured out a thing or two.

She's ditched the low-value, $10 work that doesn't move the needle.

She's also set up systems, processes and assets to scale herself (and her delightfully tiny team).

And she's a creative polymath and entrepreneurial force of nature.

But Jenny's steered clear of giant trap.

A trap that snags the highest-performing executives, entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Is this the end of ambition?

8 minutes | The Guardian
​

There’s been a surfeit of articles about the end of ambition. It sorta makes sense — the return to the office and a recalibration of “work-life balance.” But there’s a missing element in this conversation: What role does ambition play in developing your identity?

It's later than you think

5 minutes | Sahil Bloom
​

When was the last time you put off meeting a friend or visiting your parents because "you need to focus on work"? Working for a better future is certainly prudent, but it's easy to forget just how little time we actually have. Would you still cancel that trip if you knew you'd only have 9 more meet-ups remaining with a loved one? Sahil Bloom's Curiosity Chronicle is one of my favorite newsletters.
