1 dead simple mindset change to stop making excuses and take action
Hey friend, Today, I’m going to walk you through one simple mindset change to stop making excuses and take action. Let’s dive in👇

It is very common to do that. There will always be reasons not to pursue something, not to do that thing, or not to work on that idea. However, after reading this mindset change tip from James Clear, I have changed my mind and started becoming more of a problem solver rather than a problem adder. If you’re also feeling lazy, dwelling on reasons why your idea wouldn’t work, or making excuses not to do something, then this piece is exactly for you; keep reading. Embrace the “How can I make this work?” mindset.As Clear states, there are two types of people when we face a challenge. One approaches a situation, “How can I make this work?” and find solutions when they arise. Other approaches to the same situation with “What are all the reasons this wouldn’t work?” and avoiding action altogether due to anticipated roadblocks. They both will be facing the same reality, but the first one will solve problems that actually happen, and the second one will avoid taking action paralysed by imagined difficulties before they even occur. “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” Thanks for reading! I’d appreciate it if you hit reply with any points you would be interested in seeing go deeper on. As always, feel free to forward this to a friend who you think would find it interesting. It really helps the newsletter to grow. See you next time! Emre |

The office in its actual form, norms, ceremonies, dynamics, rituals, communication styles, endless meetings, you name it…. isn’t a good place to do meaningful work. Jason and David Heinemeier Hansson, co-founders of 37signals and the builders of Basecamp and Hey, have produced many insightful perspectives on this topic over the years. Here are my 4 go-to insightful resources that changed my thinking on Slack, Meeting, Email...
There are a lot of podcasts on the subject of Mental Models, Better Thinking, Problem Solving and Decision Making. And honestly, I’ve tried listening to most of them. But the one I keep coming back to, over and over again, is The Knowledge Project Podcast (Farnam Street) by Shane Parrish. If you are new to learning from the world’s experts, uncovering the best of what other people have already figured out so you can use their insights in your life, here’s why I would recommend blocking an...
Hey friend, Today, I’m going to walk you through how to influence consumer behaviour. Let’s dive in👇 Did you know that more than 50% of people who make new year’s resolutions to exercise more, diet, and save move have long given up on them before mid-year? Why is that? The world is full of temptations. As a marketeer, you are constantly competing with people’s interests in the present moment to encourage behaviour with a longer-term benefit.
