I'm an INTJ, I keep to myself, build stuff, and then try to sell it (I've done that my entire life). I've spent only 2-3 years inside a company as an employee. I'm 45 now. Sometimes I forget to be human, so I thought I'd share something personal. I'm a musician. When I was in college I started getting into techno and I became a DJ. Then I started making electronic music, making beats... but I got a little tired of just pressing buttons and experimenting all the time. So then I started taking piano lessons at 25 years old. Classical to start, then I got tired of having to make every note PERFECT. So I found jazz. I love that you could learn a framework and just play, with people, without having to make every note perfect. In fact the mistakes could be made to sound awesome! 10 years later I found myself inside the Jazz Conservatory in Berkley California playing with kids half my age. I loved walking into a room, not saying a word, and then jamming with people. A little nod and a smile to the bassist was all it took to communicate something profound in the moment. Speaking of the moment. I think that's what I love most about music. You're in the moment! Or you should be. What do you do outside of work? Let's get to know each other a little bit. Let us know in the comments!

If you are an entrepreneur and don't have systems in place, you're seriously limiting your growth. The world is becoming more and more complex. And as an entrepreneur, you must protect your focus and energy. Having SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) has been a game-changer in my business. To give you an example, making YouTube videos involves many steps. From idea generation and scripting to editing, thumbnails, and publishing. All those tasks can easily overwhelm you. At the beginning of my YouTube journey, I just winged it. I produced content but my process was all over the place. Making YouTube videos became stressful alongside running my business. So, I began documenting every step in detail in my YouTube process. When I did this, I became a machine at creating content. Before having SOPs, 1 YouTube video would take me over 20 hours. Now I can record 4 YouTube videos in 5 hours. Doing this alone has probably saved me 20-30 hours each week. (no exaggeration) So, which part of your business and life is systemized?
