Friday Five

Bold Action, Growth, HIPPO, and more.

5 things to think about this week.

---

1. “People criticize what they are afraid to do themselves. Because bold action reminds them of their own inaction.” - Mark Manson

   Remember: You’ll never meet a hater doing better than you.

2. 2 types of growth:

   Linear Growth can be achieved by:

   1. Improving operating systems (OS)

   2. Increasing sales

   Exponential Growth can be achieved by:

   1. Beginning new campaigns

   2. Developing new leaders

3. Beware of the HIPPO (Highest Paid Person’s Opinion)

   If your groups decision making process always comes back to whoever has the most influence, it can be an indication of the group not being open minded enough. It is also a hint that more deliberation could be used. Pressure test ideas from all sources, regardless of where they come from.

4. Be a rock, especially on your worst days.

   Anyone can show up when things are going well. It’s those of us who can get the job done when they are facing adversity that make it in the long run.

5. Interesting physics concept: Assuming you sleep in the same bed every night, your average velocity for the day is 0 mph. Displacement = 0 as your starting and ending positions are the same. Despite all the bustle of day-to-day life, this mindset calls up the idea of “going nowhere fast.”
