Episode 16 - Any revenge bedtime procrastinators in the house? Thanks Adam Grant

Three key areas discussed this week, instead of soundbites and a deep dive.

A lot of psychology / mindset stuff from my life, which I believe can apply directly to startup life too. If you struggle with imposter syndrome, and that manifests itself in delayed decision making etc, then how can it not??

  1. Don’t let good be the enemy of the great. Nobody cares about what my MBA grade is going to be - just me. In the long term, I will care more about having built a successful business. So let go, and move on.
  2. Finding your power. I have felt really dejected and like I am a real imposter recently, but a few conversations recently reminded me of how far I have become, how much I can help people (ie sharing insights with a new female entrepreneur), and that my prior life and learnings still have value. I felt so much more empowered following conversations with people - as opposed to in my head. This I think is key to staying motivated and making progress.
  3. Do you revenge bedtime procrastinate? I bet you do. It can be a symptom of languishing, and is a form of self sabotage. Learnt this from a recent episode of Work Life from Adam Grant. Basically you are looking for excitement in a blah day. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/worklife-with-adam-grant/id1346314086?i=1000538486437
  4. So, taking these three aspects in turn and in combination, it is so apparent how much mindset contributes to either making progress or the lack thereof. The more we can do to boost happiness and self-confidence etc, the more progress we will all make.

    I am therefore looking to incorporate ways to address these in the knowledge shop MVP. More to come on that front. But sign ups are now open.
