33 habits that (quietly) changed my life forever:

Carrying resentment only punishes you.

Joy doesn't require an audience.

26. End The Day With Gratitude

What you focus on expands.

27. Eat Until I'm 80% Full

Discipline at the table creates discipline.

28. Eat The Same Lunch Every Day

Decision fatigue is real. Eliminate unnecessary choices.

Clutter in your space creates clutter in your mind.

Matt Gray 

How to set a company strategy you'll actually use:

PURPOSE (Start Here)

1. Our One Sentence Mission

Strip it down until a 10-year-old could repeat it.

If you need a paragraph to explain your mission, you don't understand it yet.

2. Why The World Needs Us

This isn't about you, it's about the problem you're solving.

If the world wouldn't notice you disappeared, dig deeper.

3. What Would Break If We Disappeared

The answer reveals your true purpose.

UNIQUE ADVANTAGE (Your Moat)

4. The "Secret" We Believe That Others Don't

Every successful company operates on a contrarian belief.

5. What Makes Us Hard To Copy

Real competitive advantages take years to build.

If a competitor can replicate it in 90 days, it's not your moat.

6. Core Moat

Is it your brand? Your tech? Your network? Your execution speed?

Name it specifically. Own it completely.

7. Where We're Already Winning Disproportionately

Double down on what's already working before you chase what's not.

8. 10X Better Than Status Quo

Being 10% better doesn't change behavior.

You need to be dramatically superior to make people switch.

THE MARKET (Who You Serve)

9. Who Our Dream Customer Is

"Everyone" is not a strategy.

10. Their Biggest Pain / Unmet Job

What problem would they pay anything to solve?

11. Market We Dominate First

Win a niche beachhead before you try to conquer the world.

STRATEGIC CHOICES (Your Discipline)

12. What We Will ALWAYS Do

These are your non-negotiables.

The principles you'll protect even when it hurts.

13. What We Will NEVER Do

This is harder than it sounds.

Saying no defines your strategy more than saying yes.

14. Our #1 Priority This Year

Not three priorities. Not five. One.

Everything else is secondary or shouldn't exist.

15. Our Constraint / Bottleneck Right Now

What's actually holding you back?

Name it specifically or you'll never fix it.

16. How We'll Remove That Bottleneck

Talk is cheap. What's the actual plan?

EXECUTION SYSTEM (Making It Real)

17. Quarterly Targets (3 Max)

Pick three metrics that matter most.

Everything else is noise.

18. Monthly Milestones

Break quarters into months so you can adjust faster.

19. Who Owns Each Metric

One owner per metric. No committees.

STRATEGIC STORY (Your Narrative)

20. The Narrative We Want Team / Customers To Repeat

What do you want people saying about you when you're not around?

That's your strategic story.

21. Sticky Phrase For This Strategy

Mine is "We win because ______"

If you can't fill in that blank in five words, you're not clear yet.

The best strategy isn't the most sophisticated one.

It's the one your team can remember and execute on Monday morning.

Notebooks are the new operating systems.

I know that sounds surprising, but hear me out.

Most founders have 17 half-filled notebooks scattered across their desk, car, and backpack.

Each one started with good intentions. Each one abandoned by week two.

Last year, I threw out every productivity app and went back to paper.

I built what I call "The Daily OS" a one-page framework that actually works.

Here's how to organize a notebook you'll actually use:

1. Theme Of The Day 

Start every day by naming what it's about.

Not a to-do list. An intention.

"Today is about deep creative work."
"Today is about strategic planning."
"Today is about connecting with my team."

This single sentence filters every decision you make.

2. Top 7 Priorities

Not 20 tasks. 
Not 50 emails. 
Seven priorities.

If you can't pick seven, you don't have clarity yet.

List them by impact, not urgency.

3. Meetings / Leverage Calls 

Here's the filter: Does this meeting create leverage or consume time?

If it doesn't compound, decline it or delegate it.

Only write down the calls that actually move needles.

4. Notes / Insights

Throughout the day, capture insights immediately.

Don't trust your memory. 

Write it down in the moment.

This section becomes your second brain.

5. The Scoreboard

Track three metrics daily:

• Gratitude (1 thing you're grateful for)
• Energy (1-10 scale, where 10 = you feel unbelievable)
• Revenue (1-10 scale, where 10 = you made significant progress)

Numbers don't lie. 

This scoreboard reveals patterns you'd otherwise miss.

6. End Of Day Reflection

Ask yourself 3 questions every evening:

What worked?
What didn't?
What will I accomplish tomorrow?

This 2-minute practice compounds into massive clarity over time.

The entire system fits on one page.

No apps. 
No syncing. 
No notifications.

Just a notebook and a pen.

Why does this work when digital tools fail?

• Because writing activates your brain differently than typing
• Because paper doesn't have notifications competing for your attention
• Because you can't optimize what you don't track, and this forces you to track what matters

I'm finishing 2025 with less.

Not more goals. 
Not more hustle. 
Not more complexity.

Less.

Founders usually enter a new year by adding more projects, more meetings, more commitments.

Then they wonder why they're overwhelmed by March.

I spent the last week doing the opposite.

Deleting everything that doesn't move the needle.

Here's what I'm ruthlessly removing before 2026:

1. Instagram Before 9am

Your brain's sharpest in the morning, don't waste it scrolling.

I used to grab my phone before my feet hit the floor. 

Now I protect those first hours like they're sacred. 

Because they are.

2. Meetings That Don't Move The Needle

If it doesn't produce revenue, a decision, or a deliverable, cancel it.

I audited my calendar last week. 

Half my meetings existed just to "stay connected." Those are gone.

3. Software You're Not Actually Using

Check your subscriptions, cancel anything you haven't opened in 30 days.

I found $847/month in tools I forgot I was paying for. That's over $10,000 a year on digital clutter.

4. Your Lowest-Paying Client

They take 60% of your time for 10% of your revenue.

You know exactly who I'm talking about. 

Fire them. 

Your business will thank you.

5. Slack Notifications After 6pm

Your team will survive; you need to recharge.

I turned off after-hours notifications six months ago. 

Not a single emergency. 

Plenty of sanity gained.

6. The Project You Haven't Touched In 3 Months

It's not "on hold", it's dead.

Archive it. Stop pretending you'll get back to it. 

That mental weight is costing you more than you realize.

7. Coffee Meetings With No Agenda

"Pick your brain" equals wasting your time.

If someone can't send a clear agenda beforehand, they don't respect your calendar enough to deserve a spot on it.

8. Your 47-Item To-Do List

Write down 3 things that actually matter, do those.

Long to-do lists are productivity theater. 

They make you feel busy while keeping you from what's important.

9. The Need For Perfection

Ship the draft you've been sitting on for 2 weeks.

Done beats perfect every single time. 

Perfectionism isn't excellence, it's fear wearing a fancy mask.

10. Saying "Let Me Think About It"

You already know, decide now.

Indecision is a decision to stay stuck. 

Trust your gut and move forward.

Every "yes" to something meaningless is a "no" to something that could transform your business.

I'm entering 2026 lighter.

Fewer commitments. 
Fewer distractions. 
Fewer things competing for my attention.

More focus. 
More energy. 
More impact.

10 Things To Delete Before 2026

10 phrases every founder should read:

1. "Revenue is vanity. Profit is sanity. Cash is reality."

2. "Your business should work without you, or it's not a business—it's a job."

3. "Systems run the business. People run the systems."

4. "Charge what you're worth, then double it."

5. "Problems are just undiscovered profit centers."

6. "You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate."

7. "Focus is saying no to 1,000 good ideas."

8. "Your network is your net worth, but only if you give before you receive."

9. "Perfectionism is procrastination in disguise."

10. "The market doesn't care about your feelings."

How to monetize your expertise (without selling your soul):

Most experts are broke.

They have incredible knowledge but no system to monetize it.

Knowledge without systems is just expensive hobbies.

1. My Expertise Transformation Story

2017: Built my first system, hit $5,000/month

2021: Systemized everything, reached $150,000/month 

2024: Founder OS generates $464,000/month

Same expertise. Different systems.

2. The $100K/Month Math

$100,000 per month breaks down to:

• $3,333 per day
• 28 customers at $3,571 each
• 10 customers at $10,000 each
• 5 customers at $20,000 each

The higher your price, the fewer customers you need.

3. The Attract → Nurture → Monetize Formula

Most experts skip straight to monetization.

Big mistake.

My 3-step system:

• Attract strangers with valuable content
• Nurture them into believers
• Monetize believers into customers

Each step must be systematic, not random.

Step 1: The Expertise Amplification System

Your expertise is worthless if nobody knows about it.

My content strategy:

• Tell case studies (proof of expertise)
• Give contrarian takes (attention grabbers)
• Break down processes (step-by-step value)
• Share frameworks (your intellectual property)

Goal: Position yourself as THE authority in your niche.

Step 2: The Trust Acceleration Engine

Most experts think content is enough.

It's not.

You need a systematic nurture process:

Week 1: Welcome + immediate value delivery 
Week 2: Personal story + credibility building
Week 3: Case study + social proof 
Week 4: Soft introduction to your offers

Trust before transactions. Always.

Step 3: The High-Value Monetization Model

Here's where most experts mess up:

They sell their time, not their systems.

Wrong: $200/hour consulting 

Right: $20,000 systematic transformation

Scale your expertise, not your hours.

4. The Expertise Authority Stack

Layer 1: Valuable free content (builds awareness) 

Layer 2: Lead magnets (captures emails) 

Layer 3: Email sequences (builds trust)

Layer 4: Case studies (proves results) 

Layer 5: Premium offers (monetizes expertise)

Each layer feeds the next.

5. The Expertise Scaling System

Month 1-3: Document your methodology 

Month 4-6: Test with 5 pilot customers

Month 7-9: Systematize delivery process

Month 10-12: Build content machine 

Year 2: Scale to $100K/month

Systems first. Scale second.

Remember, your expertise is worth millions.

But only if you systematize it.

Most experts die with their knowledge.

Smart experts build systems that scale their impact.

Don't take your expertise to the grave.

Founders are terrified AI will replace them.

I had the opposite realization.

I built an AI team that works while I sleep.

Here's how I built my AI team:

Step 1: Upload Your Universe

Feed it everything that makes you, you.

PDFs, books, posts, transcripts, brand guidelines, every piece of content that represents your voice and vision.

This becomes its knowledge base.

The more context you give it, the better it thinks like you.

Step 2: Train On Your Tone

Teach it to write like you. Think like you.

Upload examples of your best writing and tell it: "This is how I communicate."

The AI learns your patterns, your voice, your style.

Now it can draft emails that sound exactly like you wrote them.

Step 3: Connect Your Stack

Integrate it with the tools you already use:

• Slack → Daily syncs
• Notion → Task boards
• Figma → Visual output
• Google Drive → Summaries

Your AI team now lives inside your workflow, not outside it.

Step 4: Assign Roles

I created four distinct AI assistants:

• Writer GPT - drafts content in my voice
• Designer GPT - creates visual assets
• Analyst GPT - pulls insights from data
• Chief of Staff GPT - manages my calendar and priorities

Each one has a specific job. 

Each one operates independently.

Step 5: Chain Them Together

Here's where it gets powerful:

These AI assistants update dashboards, draft reports, and sync information without me.

They work while I sleep.

They hand off tasks to each other like a real team.

Step 6: Test + Tune

Feedback loops = faster learning.

The more you correct and refine, the smarter the system gets.

I spend 30 minutes per week tuning my AI team.

They save me 20+ hours per week in return.

You now run a company with 4 AI employees.

Founders are still treating AI like a search engine.

They ask it one-off questions and wonder why it's not useful.

But AI becomes transformative when you treat it like a team member.

Assign it roles. 
Give it context. 
Connect it to your systems.

That's when magic happens.

Talks about #branding, #business, #socialmedia, #entrepreneurship, and #personalbranding

I spent 3 years working 16-hour days and almost broke myself.

Now I have built successful companies while maintaining work-life balance.

The difference isn't more effort. 

It's systems.

Your hustle got you to $20K per month, but it won't get you to $100K. 

I learned this lesson the hard way so you don't have to.

Here's what transformed everything for me:

1. Content Creation Systems

The right systems turn strangers into buyers automatically. 

Not through endless hustling, but through systematized content that works while you sleep.

2. Team Operating Systems

Most founders stay trapped because they can't remove themselves from operations. 

Systems let you build teams that operate beautifully without your constant involvement.

3. Offer Scaling Systems

Breaking free from the 1:1 model requires systematic approaches to scale what you offer. 

This is how you create exponential rather than linear growth.

4. Consistency Over Hustle

Money loves systems, but wealth loves consistency. 

The entrepreneurs who build real wealth aren't working 80-hour weeks – they're consistently applying systems that compound over time.

5. Freedom Through Design

Poverty loves hustle. It keeps you spinning your wheels. 

True freedom comes through intentionally designed systems that eliminate the need for constant grinding.

Stop building your business like it's 1995. 

The old approach of outworking everyone else is the slowest path to growth.

Your freedom is literally one system away.

Your Hustle Got You To 20K Per Month

I analyzed 10,000 sales calls and discovered something shocking.

The highest-converting calls had zero pitching.

Just stories.

Here's the systemized approach I use to sell without selling:

1. The Discovery

Stories activate mirror neurons in your brain. 

When I tell you about my transformation, you don't just hear it, you experience it. 

They literally feel your results.

2. The 4-Part Story Architecture

Every conversion story needs these elements:

Catalyst → (what changed)
Contrast → (before vs after)
Conflict → (what you overcame)
Conquest → (where you are now)

Example: "I was working 80-hour weeks, burned out and barely profitable. 

Then I discovered that 97% of success is systems. 

This insight changed everything, but I had to systematize every aspect of my business first. 

Now I work 4 hours per day while helping 14 million founders achieve freedom."

The gap between before and after = their desired transformation.

3. The Advanced Technique

Start story A, interrupt with story B, finish story B, then complete story A.

This creates hypnotic attention because the brain craves closure.

4. The Psychology Loop

Stories create emotion.

Emotion creates logic.

Logic creates action.

When you master this, you're not selling products - you're selling transformations.

The founder experience is everything. 

When founders hear your story, they see their future.

How I Use My Story To Sell

Steve Jobs once said:

"Deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do."

11 more golden nuggets on decision-making from the founder of the first trillion-dollar company:

1. Efficiency

Jobs believed in making decisions fast, valuing efficiency over collaboration.

“When you innovate, you make mistakes. It's best to admit them quickly and get on with improving other innovations.”

2. Clear priorities

Knowing what matters most to you makes all decision-making far easier. 

“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful, that’s what matters to me.”

3. Trusting intuition

Don't fear the unknown.

"You can't connect dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. 
 
You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. 

4. Cutting corners

Jobs knew excellence was a habit.

"When you're a carpenter making a chest of drawers, you're not going to use plywood on the back, even though nobody will see it. 

5. Get rid of your ego

We often cling to a viewpoint in fear of admitting we were wrong. But shedding your ego leads to the most growth.

“I’ll admit that I’m wrong a lot. It doesn’t really matter to me. What matters to me is that we do the right thing.”

6. First principles

Never blindly accept anything you're told. Always ask why.

The answer you invariably get is ‘That’s just the way it’s done.’ 

Nobody knows why they do what they do. Nobody thinks about things very deeply in business. 

7. The shortness of life

Whenever you're scared to take a big leap, recall death.

"Remembering that you're going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. 

8. Simplicity

In a world of noise and distractions, the ability to concentrate on a few things that truly matter is a huge advantage.

One of my mantras is focus and simplicity. "Simple can be harder than complex; you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple."

9. The power of collaboration

Interdependence, not independence, is key to success.

My business model is The Beatles: They were four guys who kept each other’s negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. 

And the total was greater than the sum of the parts.

10. Just do you

It's easy for your dreams to be muted by the armchair criticism of others. 

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life and don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your inner voice.

11. The Genius Effect

Sometimes, if you have unwavering conviction and no one's on your side, persist. You might just change the world.

While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Most people are stuck in the same place they were 5 years ago.

Same habits. 
Same routines. 
Same results.

Then they wonder why nothing changes.

I used to be one of them.

So here's how to get ahead of 99% of people:

1. Lifestyle: Morning Routine

Your morning makes or breaks your entire day.

Take control by shutting out inputs, no emails, texts, or social media first thing. Kickstart your body with exercise before your mind gets cluttered. 

Schedule deep work when your energy peaks, not when meetings demand it.

Your morning isn't negotiable. Protect it like your business depends on it, because it does.

2. Lifestyle: Evening Routine

A supercharged morning starts the night before.

Write down your 5 needle-moving tasks for tomorrow so you wake up with clarity, not confusion. 

Ease into sleep with reading or meditation instead of scrolling.

Sleep is the ultimate performance enhancer. Treat it that way.

3. Upskilling: Storytelling

Sales, hiring, marketing, it's all storytelling.

There's no soft skill that'll benefit you more.  

Master these and you'll close more deals, attract better talent, and build stronger brands.

Facts tell, but stories sell.

4. Upskilling: Negotiation

The crux of negotiation is empathy and understanding.

By learning negotiation, you become a better listener, communicator, and persuader. 

Everything is a negotiation. Learn the game.

5. Upskilling: Learning to Learn

To succeed at something fast, you'll have to constantly pick up skills.

That's why you need a robust system for learning: learn by doing, with a purpose, and with accountability. 

Speed of learning determines speed of earning.

6. Monetization: Passion

To find what'll make you wealthy without sacrificing your sanity, you need to introspect.

What are you good at? 
What do you love to do? 
What does the world need? 

Passion without profit is a hobby. Profit without passion is prison.

7. Monetization: Sales

Sales is 20% selling and 80% prospecting.

Get good at finding and feeding the starving crowd, and you'll never worry about revenue again.

8. Monetization: Offer

If sales are full of friction, you're doing it wrong.

Great offers sell themselves. List out perceived roadblocks, identify an outcome, then package solutions to roadblocks into an offer. 

Don't sell a product, sell a transformation that eliminates their pain and delivers their dream.

How To Get Ahead Of 99% Of People

I stopped treating Monday like the hardest day and started treating it like my competitive advantage.

While everyone else is dragging through Monday morning fog, I'm three steps ahead.

Not because I'm more disciplined, but because I have a system.

I call it the "Weekly Reboot Template".

So here's how to make Monday the best day of your week:

1. Reset Your Energy

Morning Rule: Sunlight + Silence + Sweat before phone.

No exceptions.

Get outside for 10 minutes. 

Sit in silence for 5. 

Move your body before you check a single notification.

This one habit sets the tone for your entire week.

2. Set The Intention

Answer two questions:

• This week I want to feel...
• My single word for the week...

Not goals. 
Not tasks. 
Feelings and focus.

"This week I want to feel productive and present."

"My word is 'clarity.'"

Everything you do filters through this lens.

3. Top 3 Priorities (In Order)

Not 10 priorities. Not 20 tasks. Three.

Write them in order of impact.

If you only accomplish these three things this week, would you consider it successful?

If no, rewrite them.

4. Delete What Doesn't Matter

Two questions:

• I'm saying "no" to...
• I'll automate or delegate...

Subtraction creates space for what actually moves needles.

Name what you're eliminating before you start adding.

5. Schedule Your Power Blocks

Block your calendar in three categories:

• Meetings
• Deep work
• Creative play

Don't hope you'll find time. 

Design time.

Protect your deep work blocks like they're investor meetings.

6. Design Your Environment

Two questions:

Where will I work from today?
What can I remove from my space?

Environment shapes behavior.

A cluttered space creates a cluttered mind.

Remove distractions before you need willpower to resist them.

7. End With Gratitude

Close your Monday with two reflections:

• One thing I'm proud of...
• One way I'll reward myself tonight...

Gratitude compounds momentum.

Celebrate the win before chasing the next one.

This entire template takes 15 minutes on Monday morning.

But it saves you 10+ hours of wasted time, scattered focus, and decision fatigue throughout the week.

Monday isn't the problem.

Starting Monday without a system is the problem.

I've used this exact template for the past year.

Every single Monday.

And Mondays went from my most dreaded day to my most productive day.

Most founders are addicted to being needed.

The traditional business playbook says "hustle harder" and "be indispensable."

But I built a successful business while prioritizing time freedom.

Here's how to build a business that runs without you:

1. AED Implementation 

This is the exact system I use to remove myself from operations:

• AUTOMATE what's repetitive
• ELIMINATE what's unnecessary
• DELEGATE what's not in your zone of genius

When something lands on your plate, run it through this filter immediately.

Your most valuable resource isn't money, it's your attention.

2. Document Everything 

If you do it twice, write it down.

Write down:

• Screenshots or videos
• Tips and best practices
• Step-by-step instructions
• Common mistakes to avoid

Thousands of hours can be saved with a single document.

3. Your Team = Your Leverage

Most founders hire too late, too cheap, and without systems.

Here's your first three game-changing hires:

• Executive Assistant (buys back 20+ hours weekly)
• Content Manager (builds your audience while you sleep)
• Operations Manager (runs your systems when you're gone)

Hire for systems, not tasks.

The ROI on great people with great systems is infinite.

4. Freedom Architecture 

Design businesses around your ideal lifestyle rather than sacrificing life for business growth. 

• Control WHEN you work (time autonomy)
• Choose WHERE you live (location freedom)
• Decide WHO you serve (customer selection)
• Own WHAT you create (intellectual property)

Each "W" you surrender costs you.

This isn't just a business. It's about owning your life.

5. Strategic Deep Work 

Dedicate the first few hours of your day to deep, focused work on your needle-moving work.

No phone, no social media, no distractions.

This is when your mind is freshest and most creative.

Protect this time at all costs.

Here's How To Build A Business 

9 ways to rewire your brain (based on science):

1. Cold Therapy  

Exposure to cold increases norepinephrine levels by up to 500%.

Norepinephrine enables brain plasticity and cell metabolism.

It can help you enhance:

• Mood
• Focus
• Attention
• Vigilance

A 3-minute cold shower provides huge returns.

2. Practice Breathwork 

Go through guided exercise on: 

• Diaphragmatic breathing 
• Coherent breathing 
• 4-7-8 breathing 

Find the techniques that help you: 

• Reduce stress 
• Improve mood 
• Battle anxiety

3. HIIT Workouts 

Exercise supports the brain on multiple levels.

• Increases gray matter
• Improves blood flow to the brain
• Regulates neurotransmitter levels
• Activates molecules that drive cellular adaptation

HIIT exercises maximize value/time.

4. Improve Your Sleep 

Sleep is essential for learning and memory.

Invest in your sleep by: 

• Using mouth tape 
• Buying blackout curtains 
• Getting a thermoregulated mattress
• Getting 0 screen time 2 hours before bed

5. Meditation 

Chronic stress reduces brain activity.

Use meditation to combat stress: 

• Maintain focus 
• Build emotional control 
• Center yourself during hectic times 

Building a consistent meditation practice will do wonders for your brain.

6. Learn Something New

The action of learning is plasticity.

When you learn something new, your brain physically changes.

• Pick up a new instrument 
• Study a foreign language 
• Learn a new skill

Learning something new every day keeps different parts of your brain active.

7. Eat Clean

A diet high in saturated fats and refined sugars:

• Impairs memory
• Raises stress levels
• Reduces learning capacity

But a diet with complex carbs and healthy fats:

• Improves mood
• Enhances memory
• Supports brain functioning

8. Ditch Positive Affirmations 

Affirmations do nothing to change our brains.

But asking ourselves questions does. 

• Who do I want to be? 
• What do I need to achieve to be that person? 

The process of searching for answers rewires our brain to think in a "can-do" manner.

9. Build Positive Habits 

40% of our daily actions are unconscious habits.

Employ the Habit Loop to build positive habits and cut negative ones. 

• Identify your cues 
• Control your cravings 
• Tailor your responses 
• Maximize your rewards

Want to see how I used these brain-rewiring principles to build a business that runs on autopilot?

Get the complete framework here: https://lnkd.in/e-cxtHpt

Most founders burn out by Sunday night.

I used to be one of them.

I'd work all week, then fill my weekends with more work and by Monday morning, I felt more exhausted than I did on Friday.

Here's how to plan your weekend effectively:

1. Theme

What do I want to feel?

Start here, not with a to-do list.

Peace? 
Aliveness? 
Connection? 

Name the feeling first. Everything else follows from this.

2. Intention

This weekend is about...

Fill in the blank with one sentence.

"This weekend is about deep rest."
"This weekend is about creative exploration."
"This weekend is about quality time with family."

One intention. That's it.

3. Energy Reset

What will recharge me the most?

Not what you think you should do, what actually fills your tank.

For me, it's nature, movement, and solitude.

For you, it might be completely different.

4. One Domino

The one thing that makes everything easier.

What's the single action that would make the rest of your weekend flow?

Meal prep? 
A tough conversation? 
Organizing your workspace?

Do this first. 

Everything else becomes unnecessary or easier.

5. No-List

What will I do not do this weekend?

This is more important than your to-do list.

No email. 
No social media before noon. 
No saying yes to obligations that drain you.

Protect your weekend like you protect your bank account.

6. Adventure

One New Experience.

Create a story worth telling on Monday.

It doesn't have to be grand. 

Just something that breaks the pattern.

7. Connection

Who do I want deep time with?

Not surface-level hangouts. Deep, quality time.

Name the person. Schedule it. Protect it.

8. Creation 

One small act of art.

Journal. 
Sketch. 
Cook something new. 
Build something with your hands.

Creation is medicine for the soul.

9. Body

How will I move my body?

Hike, lift, swim, stretch, your body needs movement to process the week.

10. Mind

What am I reading or listening to?

Feed your mind something nourishing, not just entertaining.

11. Systems Reset

What do I want organized by Monday?

Clean workspace. 
Meal prep done. 
Calendar reviewed.

Set yourself up to win the week.

12. Sunday Reset

Three Questions:

What worked last week?
What drained me last week?
What is my intention this week?

The difference between founders who scale and founders who burn out?

They design their weekends intentionally instead of letting them happen accidentally.

Want to learn how to build a sustainable founder-led brand that grows even when you’re not around?

Join my free live Workshop on November 18th (4 days away) to steal my homework: https://lnkd.in/e4qk8YrH

How to remove yourself from operations (and scale 10x faster):

1. Track Your Time on 15-Minute Intervals 

Free up time to focus on high-impact work. 

To track your tasks: 

• Use a timer 
• Review the list 
• Identify tasks to outsource 

2. Mark Tasks That Can Be Delegated

Delegating frees up time and boosts productivity.

Ask yourself:

• Do I like doing this?
• Is it repeatable?
• Can it be delegated?

3. Value Your Time at $2k/Hour

Setting a high hourly rate will make it easier to filter tasks to outsource.

Delegate tasks that are valued lower than this hourly rate.

4. Hire a VA to Scale Your Workflow

Delegate tasks to VAs who can do them 80% as well as you.

They won't have: 

• Efficiency
• Full context
• Years of experience

And they don't need to.

5. The Quality VA Criteria

During your search, filter for: 

• $10k+ earned
• High approval rating
• Native English speaker
• Great training services

Your VA must meet these requirements to be a solid hire.

6. Onboard Your VA

Effective communication = smooth operations.

Onboard your VA to discuss:

• How often you meet
• How you communicate (Slack, Asana etc...)
• How they should track and update you on completed tasks

Set expectations early to minimize unexpected challenges.

7. Create Systems for Each Task

Your VA won't know the full context of what they're working on and why.

Create documents and videos for each step:

• Create how-to's
• Draft best practices
• Record Loom videos

Clear and concise systems will 10x your VAs output quality.

8. Review Systems and Performance Weekly

With your VA, learn to track unexpected challenges that you're not prepared for.

• Create a new process
• Create new templates
• Change an existing process

Build these with your VA to optimize your working relationship with your VA.

9. Spend Quality 1-1 Time

Working together 1-1 for up to a month to help them learn the ropes.

• Meet often
• Give detailed and direct feedback
• Listen to their suggestions

Experienced VAs can 10x the efficiency of your processes.

How To Remove Yourself From Operations

Tony Robbins once said:

"Clarity is power. The more clear you are about exactly what it is you want, the more your brain knows how to get there."

Here’s how to cut the noise and find your true clarity:

1. Clarity Helps You Understand What Truly Matters To You

Without clarity, you may spend years pursuing goals that don't matter to you, leading to unfulfillment.

But how do you find clarity in a world full of distractions?

The answer lies in the concept of Ikigai.

2. Ikigai Is A Japanese Word That Translates To "Reason For Being"

It's the intersection of four elements:

• What you love
• What you're good at
• What the world needs
• What you can be paid for

It's a powerful framework for discovering your reason for being, your "why."

3. Ikigai Is The First Step On The Journey To Clarity

It's the compass that guides you towards work that aligns with your values.

When you have a clear Ikigai, you can make better decisions and take action toward creating the life you want.

4. Finding Your Ikigai:

• Identify the four elements of Ikigai
• Journal daily about your passion and your 10-year vision
• Reflect on what gets you out of bed in the morning and fills you with energy and excitement

Discovering your Ikigai is a process of self-exploration.

5. Implement These 5 Golden Rules Of Ikigai

• Give thanks
• Follow your Ikigai
• Reconnect with nature
• Surround yourself with positivity
• Take it slow and enjoy the journey

6. Align Your Life & Work With It

This is where the real magic happens.

When you pursue what brings you joy and aligns with your values, your energy becomes electric.

Clarity fuels you to take massive action towards your goals.

When I aligned my life and work with my Ikigai, everything changed.

My content resonated deeply with my audience, and my reach exploded:

• Twitter grew to 214K
• LinkedIn grew to 266K
• Newsletter subscribers grew to 68K 

Clarity is the rocket fuel that propels you.

7. Use Your Ikigai As A Roadmap For Designing A Life You Love

• Build a team that shares your values
• Craft a business that supports your dreams
• Create content that lights you up and inspires others

With clarity as your guide, you can architect a life that truly serves you.

Clarity is not a one-time destination but a lifelong journey of growth & self-discovery.

Don't buy into the myth that success requires sacrificing your health and happiness.

You can have it all: a wildly profitable business and a deeply fulfilling life. 

Unlock your potential, and master the art of working when, where, and how you choose.

Clarity is the key.

Building your personal brand? i'm giving you my complete system for 85% off through black friday. 4 platform playbooks, 80+ templates, ai prompts, and a 3 day live workshop. this is everything i've built over 6 years. Get it here: https://lnkd.in/euK9u-Dn

The best habit you can develop is building systems.

 Systems are your clone.

They encode your decisions. 
They scale your expertise. 
They multiply your time.

These 3 systems transformed my business from needing me to running without me:

1. Decision Systems = Your Brain in a Doc

When this happens, do that.

If client asks X, respond with Y. 

Your judgment becomes their execution.

I documented every decision pattern I was making repeatedly. 

Client onboarding. 
Pricing negotiations. 
Scope changes. 
Refund requests.

Now my team acts like me - even when I'm not there.

2. Content Systems = Your Voice on Repeat

Bank 60 ideas in advance. 
Batch create in a few hours. 
Post 7 days without thinking.

I stopped creating content daily and started creating content strategically.

One focused session gives me weeks of consistent output. 

My brand grows while I sleep.

3. Delivery Systems = Excellence on Autopilot

Client onboarding? Templated. 
Weekly check-ins? Scheduled. 
Results delivery? Systematized.

Every touchpoint in my client experience runs on rails. Consistency without chaos. Quality without constant oversight.

I installed these systems over 6 months.

Now my business runs while I travel 47 countries. 

Same revenue. 
Zero daily fires.

It feels slow at first.

Documenting processes takes time. 
Creating templates requires thought. 

Building SOPs feels like busy work when you could be "doing the real work."

But that's exactly backwards.

The "real work" is building the machine that does the work.

Everything else is just trading hours for dollars with a fancy title.

The Best Habit You can Develop

When I started sharing my exact client acquisition systems openly, something unexpected happened.

My organic conversion rate jumped to 3x the industry average.

Last month, I published my complete "no-ads client system" breakdown, and the response was incredible. 

Founders started implementing these exact steps and getting real results.

Here's what I learned about transparent business building:

1. Reverse Engineering Works 

When you map your best clients' journeys backward, you find the exact content that converted them. 

It's like having a blueprint for success.

2. Value Ladders Build Trust 

Create a 7-step progression from awareness to conversion. 

Each piece of content serves a specific purpose in the journey.

3. Platform Depth Beats Width 

Going deep on 3 platforms (LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube) created exponential results. 

Focus over fragmentation wins every time.

4. Engagement Creates Compound Growth 

50 meaningful comments daily built relationships that became clients. 

It's not about broadcasting - it's about connecting.

5. Content Reciprocity Multiplies Reach 

When you feature other experts, they share it with their audience. 

Your content becomes a collaboration, not a competition.

6. Systems Beat Sporadic Effort 

2 hours of daily engagement following a specific framework outperformed random posting. 

Consistency with strategy is the ultimate advantage.

7. Transparency Accelerates Everything 

Sharing your actual numbers, frameworks, and failures builds trust faster than any sales copy. 

People buy from people they believe in.

This isn't just about getting clients without ads.

It's about creating a business that builds trust through radical transparency and systematic value delivery.

The future belongs to founders who aren't afraid to share their playbooks openly.

5 Steps To Attract Your First 100 Clients

Sean Kelly

Founder & Investor. Building companies at the intersection of health, media & founder performance.

Hey there, I’m Sean. I play at the intersection of investing, media and human performance.

I’m a three-time INC 500 founder & entrepreneur with businesses in eCommerce, SaaS, media and B2B services that have collectively generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

Right now, I serve as a General Partner at The Family Fund and am the CEO of Significant Publications, a B2B digital media holding company.

I'm particularly passionate about our brand FounderIV in support of today's founder-athletes. We help today's top entrepreneurs achieve breakout performance in their personal and professional lives.

I co-founded and led multiple other companies, including SnackNation, a health-centric foodservice and brand discovery platform that served 20,000 businesses across the US. 

Under my leadership, SnackNation was honored as one of the country’s Best Workplaces by Inc. Magazine, recognized for Top Company Culture by Entrepreneur Magazine, and certified as a Great Workplace by Great Place to Work®.

Forbes listed me as one of the top 30 leaders under 30 and one of America’s most promising CEOs under 35. Comparably also ranked me among the country’s top 50 small-to-medium sized business CEOs multiple years in a row. 

Outside of the business world, I’m a two-time national medalist in freestyle snowboarding, hold an advisory role at the growth capital firm, Meaningful Partners, have a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Columbia University and am an avid sports fan of all Michigan sports teams (especially the Wolverines).

I currently live in Venice, CA with my wife and college sweetheart, Shannon, and our goldendoodle, Jameson.

Chairman

Health > Politics

36 hrs in DC for the MAHA Summit.

After receiving a biomedical engineering degree I decided to forego med school to instead focus on prevention via entrepreneurship (and now investing).

Since the age of 12 (when my grandpa - still alive and strong at 96 -  first gave me biomed & nutrition journals to read) health & nutrition has been my greatest passion.

To me, this isn't about politics. It's about helping people transform their life experience by elevating their mental, physical and spiritual health.

I don't believe there are many more important endeavors....

And was happy to spend the last day and a half with folks who feel similarly.

Some of the highlights:

i) Masterminding with better-for-you CPG legends Bill Weiland & Bill Moses (both who inspire me with their tenacity, generosity & commitment to improving America's health)

ii) Hanging out with one of my favorite founders Jacob Peters of Superpower and finally meeting his top-tier co-founder Max Marchione (both dedicating their lives to improving America's healthcare system via the world's best longevity + AI doctor platform)

iii) Meeting dozens of early-stage founders & investors in some of the fields we're most excited about at The Family Fund & Founder Community: 

- mitochondrial diagnostics
- peptide manufacturing & delivery
- metabolic health therapy
- Parkinson's alleviation 
- neurodegeneration prevention

If you're building a company that is solving a important health problem in the world, I'd love to learn more. Hit me up!

We built the first Founderland in 10 weeks.

And almost died.

This past year we gave ourselves 6 months and built an external team to do it and it still wasn’t enough time.

So for next year’s event we decided to make the build a year-round affair…

And are focused on making Founderland a brand that lives throughout the year, not just as once-every-October event.

It’s funny to see how random ideas become full-time jobs lol

Took a quick trip to NYC this week to discuss Founderland ‘26 with one of our top partners J.P. Morgan  

The verdict?

It’s going to be big. 

Perhaps not as big as JPM’s new $3B global HQ at 270 Park Ave (most spectacular office I’ve been in w/ a Warhol or Jasper Johns around every corner)…

But still pretty big and lots of fun with a yuge amount of deals commenced (misspelling intentional)

Thanks for the tour Michael Conte you’re a legend and friend.

And glad to see you’re carrying Ancient Crunch Inc. MASA chips in all of your shops!

No alternative text description for this image

Ben Greenfield is my favorite health influencer.

He speaks from a place of authenticity and experience. 

And isn't afraid to state controversial truths.

Ben mixes in macro wisdom ("God, family THEN health in the morning") with tactical, cutting-edge experiments (ex: the benefits he's experienced from whole body plasma exchanges).

He cares deeply about his body and physical performance, but not at the sacrifice of his most important relationships.

Some other unique take-aways from Ben and I's talk at last week's YPO Longevity Summit:

I) Most men over 40 should consider taking Cialis (approved as a blood pressure medication) as part of their daily health regimen

II) Saving your carbs for later in the day/at dinner makes the most sense for most people (especially if you train in the morning)

III) Set date nights with each of your kids once per month - few better things you can do for you and your family’s health

IV) Drinking a light amount of alcohol here and there may actually be good for you, contrary to all of the health maxxer preaching today

V) Longevity for the sake of longevity is dumb - how can you experience a richer, more joyful, healthier life TODAY?

Supplements & peptides can be helpful, but they won't do much if your foundation is in shatters.

And remember, life is meant to be spent, not saved. Have fun out there.

Current health travel stack:

Zoomed off to NYC, Philly and Austin this week.

Back to back meetings all day, late dinners and sports games at night, and planes trains and automobiles like we all know.

Seems like 1/2 of the people I’ve met have a cold.

Here’s what I take on the road to feel good while away…

and do my best to arrive home feeling not-dead to the fam. Works most of the time ;)

 - Sinus rinse bottle filled with filtered water, betadine and salt/baking soda (use after every flight, likely illness prevention tactic #1)

- Zinc acetate lozenges if I’m feeling worn down or fatigued

- KetoneIQ every morning when I wake up to get that cognitive boost

- Momentous whey protein, plant protein, and creatine (10g) + Supergut fiber blended 1-2x per day to supplement diet

- Momentous Sleep pack + medical mouth tape + sleep mask every night

- Metal shaker bottle that doesn’t get gross

- Some type of hydration packets 2x/day minimum (right now using Dry Water)

- WIP 100mg energy pouches for a little boost early in the day usually before workout

- Another ~20 or so supplements in my vitamin case that I pre-fill for each day prior to the week

Sure, sleep/nutrition/exercise are essential and the most  important…but it’s near impossible to not sacrifice them a bit while playing the part of road warrior…so at least for me, travel supplementation is key.
