Ask Yourself

How to Know If You’ve Got Product-Market Fit?

Here are the key signs of true product-market fit:

• Watch user behavior: Look for visible excitement (“Where have you been all my life?”), strong retention curves and users who keep coming back even when your product is broken.
• Measure real commitment: Get people to pay before launch, survey if they’d be “very disappointed” without your product (aim for >40%) and watch for organic growth from word of mouth.
• Check growth efficiency: Your sales should be efficient (costs less to acquire users than they’re worth) and organic (>50% of new users come directly). If you’re pushing too hard to grow, you haven’t found fit.

How to Build Toughness Under Pressure?

True happiness means accepting both good and bad emotions, not trying to be happy all the time:

• When stress hits, focus on recovery – take real breaks from work.
• Build quality relationships – they’re the top factor in both happiness and bouncing back from hard times.
• Become antifragile – like muscles grow bigger the more you stress them, learn to thrive under pressure.

What Are The Most Disruptive Pricing Models?

Companies are moving from charging monthly fees per user to charging based on what their AI tools actually do:

• Price based on AI output (like solved problems or finished tasks) instead of results – it’s simpler to track and prove.
• Make pay-per-use pricing work for big clients by offering yearly credits, grace periods and rolling over unused credits.
• Get ready to change how you run things – rethink sales pay, expect bumpy revenue and focus more on helping customers succeed.

How Can Light Improve Your Mental and Physical Health?

Here’s how sunlight can make your mind and body healthier:

1. Get 5-10 minutes of morning sunlight daily to boost your mood, focus and sleep quality.
2. Get some afternoon sun to reinforce your sleep cycle and help your body know when it’s time to wind down.
3. Use bright overhead lights in the morning and dim them in the afternoon to match the sun’s natural cycle. This helps with alertness and sleep. Avoid bright lights at night to protect your sleep. If you need to get up at night, use dim red lights.

How to Improve All Aspects of Your Life?

Here’s how tiny changes in your day can make a big difference in your life:

• Start with one good habit and make it a routine. Once that’s easy, add more good habits. Don’t change everything at once.
• Find a habit that makes it easier to do other good things. If you start exercising, you might also find it easier to eat healthy and sleep better.
• Instead of forcing yourself to make good choices, let your good habit lead the way. If you drink water when you wake up, let that help you choose a healthy breakfast.

Are You Wrong About Your Customers?

Traditional “best practices” like $.99 pricing aren’t always optimal.

Canva found charging $15 instead of $14.99 performed better.

The point is… Challenge your core assumptions by running experiments, as market behaviors and customer preferences often change and defy conventional wisdom.

How to Build More Muscles in Less Time?

Use this workout routine if you’re short on time:

• For overall health benefits, 30-60 minutes of lifting per week is enough.
• You can gain significant strength with just one heavy set (1-3 reps) per exercise, done 1-3 times per week. Focus on lifting heavy weights in the 1-5 rep range.
• To grow muscles, do 1-4 sets per muscle group per week. While volume is on the lower end, it can still lead to big gains, especially when combined with drop sets and supersets.

10 Ways to Prepare For The Unknown

Here are 10 ways how you can predict future trends in business and life:

• If you’re over the age of 25, assume your initial reactions about new trends are wrong.
• If people talk about it on Reddit, you’re early. If they talk about it on LinkedIn, you’re late.
• If multiple smart people tell you about a new idea, don’t delay betting on it before you understand it. If you wait for society to educate you, you’ll be too late.

How to Automate Your Business Growth?

To boost growth, you need to solve the right problem for the people who know about it and are willing to solve it:

• Solve a painful problem. This sets a real business apart  from a pet project.
• Build credibility. Your customers should trust you and your product. Otherwise, they won’t sign up.
• Build customer avatars. Your customers should be aware of the problem and are willing to solve it. You can’t build a great user acquisition strategy if you don’t know who you’re targeting.

Why Are Smart People Bad Teachers?

The curse of knowledge occurs when you know something so well that you forget what it’s like not to know it.

This makes it hard to explain things to others in a way they can understand.

Here’s how to deal with it:

• Know your audience: Ask your potential customers a few questions before starting your sales pitch.
• Simplify your language: Use simple language and clear examples to make your point.
• Show, don’t tell. A picture can be worth a thousand words.

How to Increase Your Lifespan?

Brian Johnson’s speed of aging is slower than 99% of 20-year olds.

Steal his blueprint to help you age slower than your friends:

• Optimize all aspects of your health. Including diet, exercise, sleep and supplements.
• Have a strict daily routine. Follow a carefully designed diet with specific calorie targets, workouts and sleep protocol.
• Track and get better. Do regular blood testing and other health assessments to track progress and edit the program as needed.
