80/20 Sales and Marketing - Perry Marshall

Jan. 20, 2020 |  Categories:  Self-Development  

Just finished the book 80/20 Sales and Marketing. I have never liked the feeling of selling to people and this book touched a lot on that. The main focus was on the 80/20 principle which I am very intrigued by. I tried to put aside my biases and give the book a try. I learned a good deal from it and the author did a good job towards the end in putting important things into perspective outside of sales and marketing. I'll be reading "The 4-Hour Workweek..." by Tim Ferri…

Early to Bed, Early to Rise

Jan. 20, 2020 |  Categories:  Self-Development  

I have been trying to put in extra work at night and have been losing sleep over it. This is something that I am always struggling with.

Now off to sleep for basketball in a few hours.

Gandhi Quote

Jan. 6, 2020 |  Categories:  Meditations  

There is a content creator on YouTube that I really like, Nikhil, that runs a channel named Captain Sinbad. He brought up a Gandhi quote that I really liked. Each night that I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning when I wake up, I am reborn. I like this a lot because it touches on mindfulness and stoicism. Live for the now and make your day count.
