5 quick gems from this week
Sup friends 👋🏼,
I’ve not been able to read as much as usual the past week due to being heads-down with some big work projects, but I’ve found some 💎’s to share.
In all honestly, it’s easy to de-prioritise finding gems for this newsletter sometimes because ‘work is too busy’, but I get fulfilment out of writing this, and I enjoy finding useful things that I think you’ll like.
I want to have a better balance of finding content, and then packaging it up & sharing it more consistently (this goes for this newsletter, and for LinkedIn too), so I’m open to any & all ideas that you think I should consider to publish high-quality content, consistently.
Anyway, without further adieu, let’s get to it 🙂
💎
/1 Apple’s Marketing Philosophy
Loved this - so simple, yet effective.
Focus on understanding the customer
Say no to all the good opportunities, to say yes to the great opportunity
People DO judge a book by its cover - the packaging is EVERYTHING

/2 Do Something Great
We shouldn’t just focus on ‘networking’ for the sake of it.
We must do great things.
Doing great things will attract the right type of opportunities.

/3 Its Permissionless
We can just do things. We don’t need to seek permission.
Small hack: Keep repeating things in your own mind, and you will believe your own hype.
You can. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

/4 Small things to change your life
Loved these - two I liked the most:
Stop gathering more information and start acting on the information you already have
Stop waiting for the things you want in life and start acting to make them a reality

/5 How to Manage Up, Earn More and Get Promoted
TLDR:
Do your current job well
Ask your manager how you can help them
Do what they ask
Ask your manager if you could help in a way that also grows your skills towards your particular goals
Do as they suggest, and repeat in a loop from step 4
I got to be an Amazon VP because a series of managers fought to promote me and pay me more. This was no accident. I used "The Magic Loop" which I invented with my first manager.
Here is that story and how you can do it yourself today.
