Entrepreneurship

Yes, bad mental health days happen even for Biohackers, I had one last week. And I'll tell you how I turned it around in about 45 minutes.

I had been stressed about more than a few things. To name a few...

• Business has not been great lately.
• I hadn't slept great the night before (it happens, even to sleep hackers sometimes).
• There are some exciting but intimidating pivots I'm in the midst of making with Limitless Mindset (which involves a lot of work and learning some new things).
• And the looming threat of nuclear war (in the part of the world where my little family lives!)

Then my wife made a perfectly understandable, concerned comment while rushing out the door to attend to matters in Sofia, which set me off.

Business-to-business sales (B2B) is a difficult nut to crack, especially if you're used to dealing with decision-makers for smaller or local companies only.

Why does it seem like every startup is antsy to gobble up your helpful services, but the large C-level corporate heads couldn't care less about you? Do not be discouraged, my friend. Industry professionals who have "been there, done that" have a few suggestions to help you and your business break into this lucrative market.

$350 Billion (with a capital B) was the inflation-adjusted personal net worth of John D. Rockefeller.

He was history's wealthiest man, by a long shot, if you consider the wealthiest individuals of our lifetime...

• Elon Musk - $432 billion
• Jeff Bezos - $239 billion
• Mark Zuckerberg - $207 billion
• Vladimir Putin - Up to $200 billion
• Bill Gates - $159 billion
• Warren Buffet - $142 billion
• Carlos Helu Slim - $100 billion

These individuals are mere paupers in comparison. John D's titanic wealth was matched only by his altruism. So much of his wealth was given away to organizations that have made a sustainable positive impact on the world that it would not be unreasonable to say that virtually every person alive today benefits in one way or another from his altruism. Was John D. a lifehacker? Absolutely.

If you have any doubt that we live in the idiocracy timeline, let us cogitate here on the economic absurdity that almost every digital service or good offered in the current year has a free version and then starts at about $10 a month or $100 a year.

While so many in society are concerned with making everything fair and equal, elite Entrepreneurs are giving themselves a stark unfair advantage by embracing biohacking.

While so many in society are concerned with making everything fair and equal, elite Entrepreneurs are giving themselves a stark unfair advantage by embracing biohacking. We all have natural limits of how hard and smart we can work. The high-leverage, high-return-on-investment measure is to unleash the mind; enhancing cognition, training working memory, cultivating greater focus, and improving long-term memory. While mitigating and managing the downsides of a life lived intensely; stress and aging.

I was on a sales call and wasn't sure that the call was worth my while, but I have a sales process I follow regardless.

So I smiled and dialed, halfway through the sales call the balance of my Paypal account had increased by more than $2000.

Now, this doesn't happen to me every day, in fact, my experience of the business world and capitalizing on opportunity has been very asymmetrical - feast or famine; when it rains it pours. My experience is that it's not a numbers game; good fortune is due to almost invisible meta-factors, which conspire in rare moments to create windfalls - when they do it's worthwhile to analyze why.

I have 164 email newsletter subscribers on Substack, NOT 164 paying subscribers BUT 164 TOTAL subscribers. Not a very impressive number, right?

In every social interaction, one person is more reactive than the other to the words and actions of the person they are communicating with.

Frame control is a topic that gets discussed Ad nauseam in hypothetical terms, in this article I'll break out of that by providing a mix of examples in pop culture, movies, and television along with personal anecdotes. Frame control is relevant to every human interaction but the most colorful examples of it come from the domains of business and seduction, I could deconstruct boundless case studies of it that are a whole lot more PG-rated, I've chosen examples that are a bit edgier so that you remember and can apply them.

As I shared in a recent newsletter...

Earlier this year I was reading this entrepreneurship book, 10x Is Easier Than 2x, about exponential growth hacking in business and life. And I was getting really uncomfortable as I read it because it was calling out all the things I've been doing wrong with Limitless Mindset. All the ways I'd been limiting myself and the good I could do for you. It showed me how small I've been thinking. I've long prided myself on being a rule-breaker, a dissident, and an innovator but this book showed me how I'm falling far short of my potential because mostly I'm unoriginal in my endeavors. This book reminded me that I must find what I can do uniquely well that virtually no one else on Earth is doing.

After closing 10x Is Easier Than 2x one night, as I was going to the bathroom before bed, it hit me in one moment! In one of the few epiphany moments of my life, I knew how to align my strengths with my mission in life - which is to give individuals the means to reclaim their divine right to free will. Free will is that spark of Promethean flame in us all and the one thing that makes us really special as a species on this planet. Yet so few truly yield it! And so much about modern life deprives us of our free will, that the only way to truly take it back is by Biohacking; using the kinds of transformative tools that I've obsessively studied and self-experimented with for over 12 years now. That's my mission, and in that instant, I knew how to take it to the next level by combining my strengths to offer something truly unique to a small number of very special people - to you perhaps!

For the longest time, I have wanted to introduce something new and innovative in the Biohacking/Anti-aging/Personal development space, and I have figured that out this year. But first, I'll share...

Another common sense, yet uncommonly practiced productivity strategy...

There are two hours, every day that are key to your productivity; the first and last hours of your working day. In a previous video, we discussed Hour 1: Empire Building which is the first working hour of the day.
