3 Big Ideas, Tips or Strategies for this week
1. Struggle. “Major life changes—moving to a new city, starting a new job, ending a relationship, getting married, having kids, etc.—will often make life harder for the first 100 days before improving. This is not always true, but it’s a nice reminder that experiencing early struggle doesn’t mean it was a bad choice.”
Source: Atomic Habits by James Clear.
2. Customer Focus. Obsessive customer focus led to Amazon‘s next-day delivery option. In order to create something extraordinary, one must be ‘obsessed’ about it. Passion will only get you started. Obsession is what scales it up.
3. Big-mo. The Big Mo – the big momentum. One of the most powerful driving forces for success. Swimmer Michael Phelps’ coach only let him finish training early once in 12 years, when he was allowed 15 minutes off so he could attend a school dance. But all that practice led to Big Mo, culminating in eight gold Olympic medals.

2 Stories, Quotes, or Case-Studies for this week
1. Loonshots
Ideas that seem too crazy ever to work but end up changing everything – make the difference between failure and success in both business and war. They can even determine the fates of nations. But risk-averse organisations often miss out on these great leaps forward because they’re so focused on immediate results that they overlook the importance of creating structures that encourage experimentation and innovation. Your best best? Separate your creatives from those in charge of running things and provide each with the tools they need to thrive.
2. The “common” factor
What do Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright brother have in common? On the face of it, not a lot. They worked on different projects for different reasons at different times.
But there is one thing that unites the four of them: they all understood that no one buys into an idea, project, or product unless they understand why it exists.
This, as author Simon Sinek argues, is something you’ll find in every great leader and successful organisation. Think of it as a sense of purpose. People do their best work and inspire others when they know why they’re doing what they’re doing. This doesn’t mean striving to make money. It means engaging in purposeful activity, an approach that often results in financial gain.
