Transform Your Life With These
This was from the latest edition of The Optimized Report newsletter, a collection of actionable ideas to help small business teams improve their performance, profit, and potential without sacrificing what's most important.
Most people are terrified of Monsters. But not just any Monster — the Monster of change.
People are terrified of change. But, the hard truth is, if you seek transformation, you must seek change.
The things want in life, or even better, need, require you to push beyond your comfort zone, to reach new heights, and make progress on #goals beyond your current capabilities.
You need to accept that if you want to slay the Monster, you must first take the leap.
Now, on to this week's optimized ideas: 👇
1/ How To Take The Leap
Taking the leap takes courage.
In this short essay, you'll learn how to use the LEAP principle to make constant progress toward your most difficult goals.
It's a great acronym that you can apply to your life when you need to jump.

2/ Want To Drink Euphoria?
Most things are terrible for you, alcohol, drugs, and tobacco, but they feel so damn good.
I can relate to JW Ross that alcohol acts as a social lubricant, and I tend to dislike most social gatherings, soooo...you know where that heads.
He's created an energy drink that feels like euphoria.
I've ordered a case to try it, so more to come on that, but this is the recipe:
5 parts Kava
1 part Kratom
Pineapple juice (for the Vitamin C)
Coconut cream (for the fatty acids)
M Stevia as the sweetener

3/ Write Emails Like A Pro
Writing great emails can change your life.
I'm a huge believer in writing effective messages.
Sahil Bloom's recent Substack newsletter gives a great framework to write effective cold emails.
He'll teach you how to keep your emails short and sweet, personalized, how to add compliments, create value, and how to add a clear call to action.

4/ Best Crypto Investment Advice
Most investment advice is dumb unless you don't know any better.
I've particularly liked the Barbell Investment Strategy, but Bankless HQ does an excellent job explaining how the barbell investment strategy applies to crypto natives.
They believe you should hold real estate assets as a less risky investment and crypto on the riskier side, which creates your barbell.
And if you're under the age of 50, Nick Huber recommends you fire your wealth manager. 🤷♂️
5/ Optimize Your Sleep & Performance
I'm a zombie when I get poor sleep.
My brain functions poorly, I'm grumpy, and everything is annoying.
Sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your health.
On his podcast, Tim Ferriss had on one of my favorite health experts, Dr. Andrew Huberman, to discuss optimizing sleep and performance.
