Pbd's 5 moves for the week
October 21, 2023
1. Reflect

A rule of comedy is that if you get heckled or bullied on stage, you need to fight back. Otherwise, you'll get booed off the stage. Business is no different since one negative person can ruin a meeting.

Your Move

This rule also applies to business. Most of the time, it means making sure the negative person isn't in the room in the first place.

2. Stat of the week

There are three parts to every effective message.

Your Move

Present the problem. Give evidence with facts and third-party research. Present the solution that works IF you are willing to put in the effort.

3. Strategize

If you run daily meetings, what day is the most important? Why? What's the exact outcome you want from this meeting?

Your Move

Stop winging it. Go beyond the agenda to know the PURPOSE of every meeting. Also know what day is most important for your business. For me, it's Monday.

4. Read

Chamath Palihapitiya's video about reassessing the Trump administration. He's one of many Democrats seeing that even if they didn't like the messenger (Trump), the policies worked.

Your Move

See if you can differentiate between the message and the messenger. Aspire to be one of the few people who can get outside their ego to evaluate things objectively.

5. Perspective

If you're an American, be grateful for what made the USA the greatest country in the world: God, Capitalism, Freedom, Values & Principles, Family Nucleus, Pride in Loving America, Country Before Political Pary, Earn Instead of Entitled Mindset.

Your Move

Go back to your guiding principles. Keep your foundation solid by getting the basics right. Show your gratitude for what got you here by sticking to your own principles.

Future Looks Bright!
