What is Business Systemization.

In 1986, Michael E. Gerber gained notoriety from his bestselling book, The E-Myth – Why Most Businesses Don’t Work and What to Do About It. Since then, the Wall Street Journal has named it the number one business book of all time. In the book, Gerber explains that most start-ups are bound to fail because they are started by “technicians,” or the people who know how to do the technical work, rather than by “entrepreneurs,” those who know business itself. 1. How Business Systemization Works. For a business to thrive, it must move past relying on the "technicians" that own the company. A great example of business systemization at work is franchising. Franchises are essentially prototype businesses that use well-documented systems in their daily operations. Franchises use written manuals to describe in minute detail how the company should be run. Spending the time to create a business that can run by itself is accomplished through business systemization. 2. Successful Businesses ...

Can Nootropics Make You Smarter?

When it comes to changing your mindset in order to change your life, you probably think of things like ‘the gratitude attitude’ or maybe meditation. You’re probably aware of mindfulness and of CBT. But what if you could simply flick a switch and completely change the way that your brain works? What if you could become smarter and cleverer overnight? Wouldn’t that be the ideal?

When we were evolving, we were in far more dangerous scenarios than we were now and we could never afford to take risks. Only the psychological traits that made us most likely to survive were passed on from one person to another and that means that they’re the only ones that matter. This is why we are risk averse by nature and it is also – unfortunately – why we spend a lot of our time experiencing chronic stress. 1. The Danger of Ambiguity. Imagine that you were in the wild, looking at the silhouette of some kind of animal sitting on the horizon. You don’t know if that silhouette is of a lion or some kind of kitten… what do you do? The most pertinent solution in order to survive is to assume the worst. Assume it’s a lion and either freeze or run. The people who ...
