FVS 20: HOW TO GO BIG, CREATE WEALTH AND IMPACT THE WORLD
“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.”
— William Shakespeare
Hi, this is another edition of “For Value Sake”.
A weekly email newsletter, it contains a few articles, a book recommendation, a podcast, and a TED talk.
These are the most impressionable resources I consumed during the week, and share them so you can reap some value as I did.
The only goal is to add value.
Yoooooo!
I hope you are starting the year in peak state.
Setting audacious goals and making bold steps.
The most important thing at this time of the year ladies and gentlemen is to get yourself to peak state.
Super Positive Mental Energy, Verbal Energy and Physical Energy.
How its going to happen is not important right now, just set ridiculously impossible goals.
Write them down. “The How” will come later.
If you speak in tongues, this is the season to be crazy.
Connect to whatever and whoever drives your belief to think,
“I can achieve the impossible”.
Don’t concern yourself with the details.
Be Ambitious, Be Crazy, Be Unapologetic-ally Audacious.
Only the paranoid thrive.
I created a spreadsheet to help me set and document my goals.
Resource 1, Resource 2
Go Thrive!
LIMITING BELIEFS
“It’s not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.”
“Limiting beliefs”, They hide beneath your decisions.
You don’t see them, but they are there.
Corrupting every idea and keeping you from being a god.
Understand that they are there, find them, and crush them with passion.
You are limitless!!!

YEP, BITCOIN WAS A BUBBLE AND IT POPPED
“if something looks too good to be true, it usually is.”
Hahahahaha Bitcoin!
The bubble eventually did burst.
By late 2017 it was $19,783.06, falling steadily throughout 2018 to $6,300.
The FOMO was so strong at the end of 2017 for some of us that I set it as
something I must do in Q1 2018.
But alas Q1 2018 shows up and all hell breaks loose in the crypto world.
The great decline that began then continues till date.

CRACKING FRONTIER MARKETS
“Every nation has within it the potential for extraordinary growth.”
Over the past 30 years, China has lifted close to a billion people out of extreme poverty, in arguably the most impressive economic rise of any nation in history”
Long deep one for my business friends.
Oghosa writes a splendid piece on creating innovations for developing markets.

FROM ASTROLOGY TO CULT POLITICS, THE MANY WAYS WE TRY AND FAIL TO REPLACE RELIGION
“People who view their lives as full of meaning are more likely to thrive than those who don’t.”
“Woke” people, especially in the West, think they are becoming less religious. But “uhm” they aren’t.
It’s sort of inbuilt in us to search for meaning in something greater than ourselves.

BOOK OF THE WEEK: BOLD: HOW TO GO BIG, CREATE WEALTH AND IMPACT THE WORLD BY PETER DIAMANDIS AND STEVEN KOTLER
“Bold is about having the right frame of mind to shoot for the moon.”
Amazing book! This is my third read of it.
I remember the first time I read it 3 years ago, Inspired the living heavens into me.
And the second time, as I rode the metro from Internet City to Financial City.
The ideas in it are so profound that I plan to read it every year.
A radical, how-to guide for using exponential technologies, moonshot thinking, and crowd-powered tools.
A must read for every big idea entrepreneur.

If you want the book, holla and I’ll send you an e-copy.
