How to stop procrastinating:

Confession: I spent most of my life as a chronic procrastinator.

I also spent most of my life justifying that chronic procrastination—both internally and externally.

I told myself it was "just how I worked”—that the pressure of an imminent deadline was what I needed to thrive.

To be fair, I wasn't wildly off:

The Yerkes-Dodson Law says pressure and performance are positively correlated—up to a point, after which more pressure reduces performance.

The real issue: procrastination meant I only worked on the urgent—very rarely the long-term important.

I think there’s a $1,000,000 opportunity in creating a paid "Explain It To Me Like I'm 5" curation newsletter for tech, business, or marketing.

Here’s how I’d do it:

The problem: So much great content, so little time.

The solution: Weekly TLDR summary of best pieces of content from a given vertical.

• Tech
• Marketing
• Finance

It is critical that the summaries abstract the complexity and provide a simplified version of the original.

Economic model could look like:

Charge $20 per month.

50% of all gross proceeds go into a pool that is distributed back to the original content creators monthly to compensate them for their efforts.

Would need ~4,200 subs to do $1m gross, $500k net annually.

How I’d get them:

Huge shoutout to @cleoabram and @nathanbarry—two of my favorite new creator discoveries—both featured in this week’s episode.

Cleo’s new “Huge If True” is going to be huge. Would invest!

One addition to the Franklin quote that came from the community…

If you want to start a business but you’re struggling to come up with a great idea...

Here’s a tactical approach for idea generation:

This approach leverages one of my favorite business frameworks:

Clayton Christensen’s Model of Disruptive Innovation

In simple terms, it says that innovators can win market share by serving a segment of the market that is over or underserved by the big incumbent’s offering.

Basically, upstarts can win market share by serving one sub-segment of a big market extremely well.

Provide the exact level of product/service needed and use it as a wedge to expand.

Ok, now let’s get tactical.

Here’s how you can use the framework to generate business ideas:

Stock splits are interesting—psychologically more so than technically.

Google parent Alphabet just announced a 20-for-1 stock split and the share price is surging.

Here’s a (very) simple breakdown:

1/ There are two types of stock splits:

(1) Conventional
(2) Reverse

Let's focus on (1), as it’s the type that $GOOGL announced.

In a conventional split, a company issues more shares. Its share price is now lower, but the actual value of the Company does not change.

2/ Alphabet announced a 20-for-1 stock split.

So what happens?

You own 10 shares at a pre-split price of $3000 per share.

Post-split, you own 200 (10*20) shares at $150 ($3000/20) per share.

You have more shares, but there are more outstanding.

Your ownership did not change!
