18. Energy Levels
Monitor your energy levels and see
how different factors increase or

people respond best to, then make
them feel loved. Treat others how
THEY want to be treated.. . Amir Syed @

Emotions affect body language, but
body language also affects emotions.

way that makes you feel good.

Pare alianre licen

Sometimes, you hit a wall when trying
to pursue a goal or outcome.
In those cases, try inversing.
Ask: “How could | NOT get X,” then
do the opposite.. . Amir Syed @

Perfect is a myth, and seeking it will
sabotage your success.
Do things imperfectly. Get results and
feedback. Analyze them. Adjust. Try
again.
Iterate indefinitely, get messy.ae) tk

24. Aspirational Hourly Rate
Take a dream yearly income and
divide it by 1,980, and that's your
hourly rate.

task that pays below that rate.

people for more complicated ones.. . Amir Syed @

If a task will take less than 5 minutes,
don’t procrastinate or plan to do it

about it, touch it once.
Just act, then move on with your day.ae) sh

26. Say “No”
Helping people is great, but
constantly people-pleasing will drive
you crazy.
Practice politely declining: "..thank
you, but | don't have the bandwidth
right now."
Learn how to say “no.” Save your
energy for the things that matter
most.. . Amir Syed @
ACNE) i=18)
27. People Matter Most
Almost every worthwhile activity
involves working with, understanding,
or managing people.
Study people, prioritize them, work on
your social skills, and optimize your

are the product.ae ke)
