A surprising way to speed up your success
Hey social impact entrepreneur! After meditating for three hours this weekend, I realized one of the biggest mistakes founders make.
WeStand Wrap-Up
The mistake is not taking notes or turning them into action steps. I struggled with this for years until I began capturing and acting on ideas more quickly.
Don’t just take my word for it—here’s what Richard Branson, multibillionaire and founder of Virgin Atlantic, has to say:
“I can’t tell you where I’d be if I hadn’t had a pen on hand to write down my ideas (or more importantly, other people's) as soon as they came to me. Some of Virgin’s most successful companies have been born from random moments – if we hadn't opened our notebooks, they would never have happened.
But don’t just take notes for the sake of taking notes, go through your ideas and turn them into actionable and measurable goals. If you don’t write your ideas down, they could leave your head before you even leave the room.”
Here for you,
