🌱 Anger is fuel

Anger. Buddha. Founder patterns.

Here’s your 3 insights in 3 minutes

😠 Anger is Fuel

This has been top of mind for me this week from The Artist’s Way:

I never thought of it this way. 

So whether it’s frustration, irritation, anger, etc…

First we notice it.

Then we can use it as fuel.

🔥 Hold or Release

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

- Buddha

When you think about it, we always have a choice.

Or as Viktor Frankl put it:

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”

What are you choosing?

🎬 Founder Stories

I’ve interviewed 20+ founders on the AppSumo channel (playlist of these videos here). 

It exploded the channel (over 2 million views, 30K+ new subscribers). 

Last week I, compressed all the biggest learnings into these 5 takeaways to start or grow a business: 

  1. Ride big waves 🏄‍♂️

  2. Always use data 📊

  3. Start with WHO, not what or how 🫅

  4. Leverage other audiences 👀

  5. Learn by doing (start today) 🧠
