Quest for Questions

In the age of shiny object syndrome, new & "trendy" books are getting all the attention. While reading is one of the most fundamental ways of improving your understanding of the world and people in it...

...what you read is even more important. If you read the wrong stuff, you end up worse off than when you started.

Top Takeaways:

✅ Find the reading list of your role-models, heroes & people you look up to.

✅ Read biographies instead of all the shelf-help.

✅ Pick up the book that's been around for very long. There is high chance it contains some timeless wisdom, that made it stand the test of time.

Nowadays, we often mistake convenience for efficiency. While using to-do apps & google docs may be convenient, according to a handful of studies it is far from efficient. In today's episode, I share with you my findings regarding journaling, handwriting, bullet journal method & more...

Key Takeaways:

✅ Handwriting stimulates our mind more effectively than typing. As a result we retain more information.

✅ Handwriting lets us slow down and think about the "Why"

✅ Handwriting accelerates our ability to read.

🔥 "It is not supposed to be easy. Anyone who finds it easy is stupid."

—Charlie Munger, Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway

Smart people do dumb things.

Here's the proof: How much money would you have right now if I gave you the ability to unwind any financial decision you have ever made?

It turns out that the key to getting rich (and staying that way) is to avoid doing stupid things. The vast majority of dumb tax in both our lives is a direct result of three things:

✅ 1. Generalizations (which kill clarity),

✅ 2. Obsessing about Oz (instead of the yellow brick road)

✅ 3. Faulty assumptions (ignoring risk).

Here it is on a bumper sticker: Operators react and sweat. Owners think and plan.

It all hinges on Thinking Time.

As Peter Drucker put it - "Most serious mistakes are not being made as a result of wrong answers. The truly dangerous thing is asking the wrong question".

In today's episode, I'm introducing a concept from Keith Cunningham's book Road less stupid - The Discipline of Thinking Time. Or in other words, allocating time for uninterrupted concentration on a specific question.

Simply put, being a native English speaker does not guarantee you'll become a great copywriter. However, if you are not highly proficient in English and you don't know the UK/US culture - you'll 100% fail...

🔥 There are many inherent differences between men and women, not just in our physical bodies. If you're looking to become a copywriter, you should be aware of your god-given strengths and weaknesses that determine which skills you should focus on learning as an up-n-coming copywriter.

Top Takeaways:

✅ Men are interested in things, while women are interested in people. Which makes men more logical and women much more empathetic.

✅ In today's day and age its harder to find people with great soft skills i.e people skills, rather than technical skills. As such, women have the edge.

✅ Men have more ego about their writing and are harder to coach, while women like to play it safe and have a hard time with being direct in their copy.
