When I read Sabri Suby's book on sales I remember him saying "Either you stay up all night worrying about the deal or your clients stay up all night worrying about the deal. If you want more sales and better clients, the only one worrying about the deal should be you."

In Uzbekistan, when working with businesses as a regular person, the one worrying is usually me and not the business

I’m loosing a single brain per almost each comment in this video

Some of the comments are absolutely bonkers

IMO one of the most important habits you can work on is the speed of your decision making

One of the best experiments you can do for your wellbeing is let your dopamine receptors recover for a couple of weeks. I’m trying it also for about two weeks, results are great. Tendency to get back to the dopamine triggering activity gets lower (be it overeating, doom scrolling, playing games, etc)

Gentlemen, you might have noticed that we are not getting any younger, so let’s get more shit done

By the way I’m on two cups of coffee and I’m overly energetic

Another important habit next to this one is an ability to say "No" to unimportant things, especially the ones that drain focus and do not align with your values

When I wash my hair I notice that some hair strands fall and wash away.

Meaning some hair strands die off and new strands grow in their place.

Same thing usually happens when you post stuff on Telegram or Instagram.

You might notice that every time you post people unfollow.

That usually means the person that unfollowed you didn't find you or your content matching their vibe.

That also usually means a new person that finds you or your content matching their vibe will come in for their place.

So if you're making content, don't get discouraged.

I noticed that I come to understand some things only by getting older. Yesterday was my birthday and I’m now 24.

I used to think that making perfect decisions and caring about what everybody thinks is important.

But years go by, I’m not getting any younger and following the former approach never helped with anything.

Our twenties is the best time to take the biggest risks for the best fate of our family and ourselves.

I got through two fears past week:

1. Fear of heights.

I had to get on the roof of our 4 story apartment building to see where the leak is coming from and how to fix it. Climbing up the second time was way more easier. Even though I had more confidence in the second climb, I was still extra-extra careful.

2. Fear of deploying my project to production.

I was scared that everything might go wrong on the day of launch (my hands were shaking tbh). I prepared by setting up logs, settings up rollbacks, setting up testing and carefully testing the MVP manually.

With all of that, the first day of launching @JonliChatBot's MVP went good. All systems were stable, there were minimal runtime issues and people seemed to like the idea (which I really appreciate).

My thought after these experiences:

Be a blind optimist.
Be an extra cautious pessimist.
Be a realistically optimistic pessimist.

Perplexity's view on "Optmistic Pessimism":

Being a realistic optimistic pessimist means embracing a balanced viewpoint that recognizes life's complexities while fostering hope and resilience. This mindset allows individuals to face challenges head-on while maintaining a belief in their capacity for growth and success.

Gentlemen (and very few ladies) – we must start taking more risks in the coming year and getting out of the comfort zone

It's exactly 1 week until the end of the year. What will you do differently next year?

I need GTA 6 Trailer 2...now!
