The past two days

I heard two Audiobooks these days. Ali Abdaal, a man I admire, says listening to audiobooks in extra speed if you could understand just fine is the more sensible to do. 

One was 📘"The E myth" by Michael Jerber. The next day, i.e. today, I heard 📙"Zero to One" by Blake Masters and Peter Thiel. 
        Lemme summarise those for you. It's good revision for me too. 


📘The E myth:

🔥 You must automate your business and set up multiples of those. Otherwise you're stuck doing a pensionless job ; the hardest one. 


🔥Make the process of operation as simple as possible. Laymen must easily be able imitate the tasks you give them.

🔥Make sure to hire staff that has the willing mindset. Prioritise hiring them over someone who's experienced but stubborn.

🔥Make your business predictable. The same procedures (list those) and dress-codes. (I've heard hints of blue inspire trust, and Red Power)

🔥Make logs, to streamline the tasks maybe...its hazy in my mind. I thought I could make up six points but, that's all I remember.



           Now, 📙Zero to One:

🔥Find something that can simplified and build your business around it. Wanting to compete with established businesses is harder and less profitable.

🔥Try to Monopolise your business.

🔥Companies need to innovate as frequently as needed Is what I understood. Another book..."Built to last" chants so repeatedly.

            ...Plus Zero to one has the 'Think and grow rich' aspect to the rest of it. Motivational talk. 


               I felt sleepy hearing through 80% ish of both books. Almost slept deep with the earplugs on, but kept hearing...was half conscious. Like, I was sleep-drunk😄. Ha! But I remember a resonable amount of sayings from both of those. 

              I've been timing all my sessions since two-three days to be most productive. Oh, I read another book called "What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast: How to Achieve More at Work and at Home" by Laura Vanderkam. It's quite a short read. It put In my mind to do the hardest things first as you start... Like Exercising. I'm sleeping fine because of it I think. 

                YouTube has a very good tutorial on Autocad in Telugu. It's a four hour course I'm going through from some hero dude from "Computersadda.com". I hope to make some money from Cad designing a few months through.💻


             I've Poems and Short stories to share. Saving those for later. Tomorrow now.👋

Nothing here but us crickets. Haha.

Oh "crickets" Reminds me of the best ever cricket match. It was New-Zealand vs England, ICC world cup 2019. July 14 was the night. (I cheated on the date there🤧) Poor Grandma must've been dreaming of candyland when I was watching the final two super overs. Then It was Apocalypse! I even considered giving it a rewatch, it was so amazing. A well deserved tie, but the rules made a winner out of England. It was Wimbledon stadium too... England's home. Both the teams made everyone so damn proud, that's agreeable. 


           I'm aware someone might only be reading this many days past, maybe years past. Remind me of this letter. That would surely surprise me. Laters now world. 👋
