Ben's 1x1x1 - May 10, 2024 ๐Ÿš€ - Mindset Hurtles ๐Ÿง 

For those of you that are new here, every week I send what I call a 1x1x1.

One learning, reminder, or interesting item from my week. One interesting find/tool from my week. One image from my life.

Letโ€™s dive in ๐Ÿ‘‡

Learning/reminder of the week

Shifting my mindset for better performance.

Sometimes I feel like a race car driver thatโ€™s building his car when the race is already 20 laps in. Iโ€™m in the wrong mindset in the wrong phase of the race.

Different phases of business require different mindsets.

๐Ÿง  Build Phase - Requires a GSD (Get Shit Done) mindset

๐Ÿง  Operating Phase - Requires a project and people management mindset

๐Ÿง  Owner Phase - Requires an investor mindset

One of my bottlenecks is being in the wrong mindset in the wrong phase of the business.

Note to self: Take more 10,000 foot views to ensure youโ€™re in the write mindset for the business youโ€™re focused on.

Interesting find/tool of the week

I love a good ad. I try to write down or screen shot all the ads that get my attention. Then, I go to the Meta ad library and see any and all ads the company is running. This has been a gold mine!

We celebrated our baby shower this past weekend. Blessed with amazing family.

See you all next week!
