🌱 Anger is fuel

Anger. Buddha. Founder patterns.

Here’s your 3 insights in 3 minutes.


😠 Anger is Fuel


This has been top of mind for me this week from The Artist’s Way:



I never thought of it this way.


So whether it’s frustration, irritation, anger, etc…


First we notice it.


Then we can use it as fuel.


🔥 Hold or Release


Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

— Buddha


When you think about it, we always have a choice.


Or as Viktor Frankl put it:


“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”


What are you choosing?


🎬 Founder Stories


I’ve interviewed 20+ founders on the AppSumo channel (playlist of these videos here).


It exploded the channel (over 2 million views, 30K+ new subscribers).


Last week I, compressed all the biggest learnings into these 5 takeaways to start or grow a business:


  1. Ride big waves 🏄‍♂️

  2. Always use data 📊

  3. Start with WHO, not what or how 🫅

  4. Leverage other audiences 👀

  5. Learn by doing (start today) 🧠



Check out the video here (forgive the click-baity titles, we’re testing different angles).


Salud,
Mitchell
