💎  5 Tweet Tuesday 💎 

My favorite 5 tweets of the week. Let’s dive in:

#1 💎 

I can tell I’m getting wiser because I now: 

1/ Rejoice when I can sleep early

2/ Slow down in the morning to get my mind right before rushing into the day

Btw my simple 9 minute morning routine (everyone has 9 minutes)

• Sit down on a chair, close eyes

• 3 mins: Breathwork. I use the otherside app, or for free you can use this Wim Hof video on YouTube

• 3 mins: Gratitude. I keep it simple, I simply visualize my kids, wife, parents etc.. laughing. 

• 3 mins: Focus. Lock in on the ONE thing you want to make happen today. What matters today? ONE thing only. What’s one thing (that if you did well) you could sleep easy tonight knowing the day was a win? 

Feel free to steal it.

#3 💎 

So true. 

Male self help seems to take the angle of: don’t be weak, push harder.

Female self help is the opposite. You’re not weak. You’re already strong!  You’re a queen and you’re hot! 

I bet there’s a big market for someone who does the opposite. Telling men they’re already enough, they’re handsome and wonderful. Telling women they are being scared, weak, and need to push themselves harder.

#4 💎 

We feel happy when we feel a sense of forward progress in our lives. 

This is why an up-and-comer on their journey can be happy living off ramen, and a billionaire who sold his company and has no sense of direction could feel depressed.

So, if you want to be happy, just focus on making progress.

Even better, you’re already making progress, but you’re not paying attention to it.

Your focus is on how far you are from the outcome rather than noticing the daily progress you’re making.

So as a first step, just notice your progress. 

For example, last night, I didn’t give in to the urge to snack at night. I noticed that. 

“Hey, that’s cool. That was easier than last time” —> feels sense of progress, feels happy

Or I could have focused on how I still am not as fit as I want to be (focus on distance to the outcome).

In short → progress = happiness!

#6 💎 Brought To You By Mercury

It’s easy to feel like the sky is falling (especially if you’re just going off headlines)

Mercury actually surveyed 1,500 founders to get a better picture of what’s going on in the startup scene.

Turns out:

• 79% of AI adopters are hiring more (not less)

• 79% of early-stage businesses are increasing spend

• 87% of founders feel more confident about their business’s financial future vs. 2024

It’s a quick read, but a good signal check if you’re building right now.

Read the report.
