• Measurable metrics of success
• Delegate more
• Systematize everything
• Solve for reduced stress as the variable (planned time for things = less mental
stress)
• Require independence
• Short and long term goals and objectives (monthly, yearly)
• Paid time off and regular vacation
• “You were made to do hard things”

26. Clarify your message, have a laser focus of who
you help and how, write to one person… and
connect the dots where others don’t see them.
We look forward to watching you change the world!
