Die wichtigste Fähigkeit für jede Wirtschaftslage

0:00The single greatest skill you can develop is the ability to stay in a good mood in the absence of things to be in a good mood about. >> I think that tweet has been my theme for 2025. Um it's been it's it's funny cuz that was the most shared tweet I've ever had. Um and it was it was like it's it was almost um not the opposite of iron. It was fitting, right? It was completely fitting for the year. And it's been because like this year I've had a just I would say a series of unfortunate events um that has occurred and it's really tested my tools right tools in the tool belt um for reframing reality so that I can make my experience less you know miserable. And so I thought about that.

0:46It's like if I were if I were to boil everything down um of all the skills that you can learn if everything that we do eventually becomes irrelevant, then the single greatest skill that you can develop is being in a great mood in the absence of things to be in a great mood about. And so one of the other frames on this is most people don't question someone who's in a bad mood. Like I'm just in a bad mood. So it's like well if you can be in a bad mood for no reason it's like you might as well be in a good mood for no reason because that one at least serves you. And so I've been trying to exercise like because there's on one degree there's like let's count things to be grateful for. On the other side it's like why do I have to have things to be grateful for in order to be in a good mood? Like why is trying to find things a requirement of being in that mood?

1:31Like can I not find things and still choose to be in a good mood? Because I've certainly not had things to be in a bad mood about and been in a bad mood. And so I've been trying to flex that which is like sure we can find things to be grateful for and when those things pop up yes and of course it's a you know it's a practice you get better at it but like what if I can just be in a good mood and so I've just tried to try to break that that relationship between the two because then it makes it contingent on something that I can find. >> How successful have you been at that? >> Mediocre. [laughter] Real quick, I'm going to show you the exact 10-stage road map from zero to 100 million plus that less than 1% of companies finish. I've now done multiple times. And so I can say with a lot of confidence that these are the stages as headcount increases that you need to get through. And I broke each of these down by eight different functions of the business, what the constraint feels like, like what are the symptoms of it when you're going through it, and then what steps we actually took to graduate.

2:21And we've done this across software, physical products, uh service businesses, brickandmortar, all of this. and it works. And it's my gift to you. It's absolutely free.
