It’s Sunday evening and I’m two whiskeys deep.

A few thoughts and hard truths (on just about everything):

Most of your friends aren’t really your friends.

They’re just along for the ride when it’s fun, convenient, or valuable.

Your real friends are the ones who are there for you when its none of those things—there for you when you have nothing to offer in return.

Cherish them.

The biggest thing holding most people back is their unwillingness to ask for what they want.

Closed mouths don’t get fed.

If you want something—and you’ve done the work to deserve it—ask for it.

Worst case—you’re told no.

Best case—it’s yours.

How to Create More Luck:

I believe that much of what we call "luck" is the macro result of 1,000s of micro actions.

Your habits put you in a position where luck is more likely to strike.

If you want to create more luck, start by increasing your luck surface area.

This thread shares 20 ways to do it:

Get in the Arena

There's no luck on the sidelines—the arena is where it strikes.

It's lonely and vulnerable, but it's the only path that bears real fruit.

When faced with two paths, choose the path that puts you in the arena—where collisions happen, where luck can strike.

How Mark Zuckerberg lost $30 billion in one day…

I called my shot on CNBC after the Facebook name change that they had more fundamental problems. I asked our team to check the tapes—which are included in this clip.

Fun moment walking through the situation with @nikitabier!

I’ve been searching for ways to get more focused and efficient with my time…

Here’s one simple productivity trick I’ve discovered:

I spent most of my 20s having zero respect for my own time.

I would accept every meeting request, take every call, and attend every function.

There was a plus side to this—saying “yes” to a lot of things expands your luck surface area.

But in my 30s, it no longer makes sense…

I began to realize I needed to push for efficiency, leverage, and focus.

This would mean saying no more often.

The problem? Identifying what to cut and what to prioritize in a schedule can be really challenging.

Here’s the tactical method I developed that helped me do it:

I think a lot about lessons I learned on the field and how they apply to business and life.

Here’s an important one on mistakes and focus:

In college, the pitchers had to log how many “compound mistakes” we made in a game.

A “mistake” was a walk, hit batter, or error. Basically something where you—or the team—screwed up.

A “compound mistake” occurred if you failed to get the next batter out following a mistake.

When you look at the data, it turns out it’s hard to give up a lot of runs if you avoid compound mistakes.

The takeaway is simple: leave the past mistake in the past and focus on getting the next batter out.

That’s what’s in your control—that’s what impacts the outcome.
