My First Million
The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
CEO of Your Life
Thinking of yourself as the chief executive of your personal life, with the authority and responsibility to make strategic decisions about how you spend your time and energy.
Decision Rule
Before committing time to anything, ask: 'Does this align with my life strategy and priorities, or am I just reacting to someone else's urgent request?'
How It Works
Shifts mindset from victim of circumstances to active designer of experience. Creates accountability for your choices and empowers you to prioritize based on your values rather than external pressures.
Failure Modes
Over-controlling and missing spontaneous opportunities
Becoming selfish and not considering others' needs
Analysis paralysis from trying to optimize every decision
Guilt about saying no to people or opportunities
Example Decision
“When invited to a work conference that conflicts with your child's soccer championship, the CEO of your life asks: 'What does my life strategy say about this tradeoff?' and chooses the soccer game because family time is a higher priority.”
