[Friday Wrap Up] 10 Commandments, Complaining, Stoicism, and Money Words

Austin here, the Editor for Early to Rise. Craig and I found some amazing content this week and we wanted to take a minute to share it with you today.

If your business isn't where you want to be...if your revenues are low...if you're working 70 hours a week...if your team is making your life harder instead of easier...you are probably breaking one of these ten commandments for a Perfect Business. In this short video, Craig breaks down the ten most important rules for building a business (and life) on your own terms and achieving the success you've always wanted.

If you're a fan of Stoic philosophy like me, then you've probably heard this ancient aphorism before. But few of us stop to think about what it really means or how to apply it into our day to day lives. In his most recent article, Ryan Holiday (one of my all-time favorite authors) reminds us all that excellence is a habit, not an act and gives practical prescriptions for cultivating this habit in our daily lives.

In 2019, words have become one of the most valuable currencies in our economy. The right words can mean the difference between a thriving 7-figure business and company doomed to bankruptcy. In the latest episode of the Early to Rise Podcast, Craig reveals powerful lessons that any entrepreneur can use to leverage the power of the written (or recorded) word to make more sales, work less, and live your perfect life.

Disease, war, famine, and poverty have been declining for decades and (despite the headlines on CNN and Fox News) human life is better today than ever been before. Yet so many of us squander this abundance and fall into the trap of complaining and negative thinking. In one of his most popular articles, Michael Matthews (Founder of the 8-figure supplement company Legion Athletics) presents a powerful case against complaining and offers simple strategies to help you achieve more happiness, fulfillment, and joy regardless of your circumstances.

Most people think of journaling as a laborious and time-intensive process. But what if you could reap 80% of the benefits of this practice in as little as 60-seconds a day? According to James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits, you can. And in this excellent article, James lays out the benefits of journaling along with quick and simple exercises to make the habit stick.
