*Product
Unlock Your Intuition for Problem Solving
“Your intelligence is only in your hands once you believe it is. Otherwise, if you don’t believe, you won’t do anything about it.”
Intuition vs. Insight: Intuition is your brain acting like a powerful computer matching an input to the best file in its huge database of experience. Insight is your brain acting like a lightbulb, connecting disparate knowledge points to illuminate a path that didn’t exist before.
Applying intuition: Intuition is only the start of a deeper thinking process. Be aware of errors and ensure you back up ideas with further justification.
Improving intuition: Cultivate quiet and stillness. Intuition often gets drowned out by noise and constant distraction.
*People
If You’re An Early Stage Founder Read This
I featured, friend of CMMN WLTH, Dan Buteel’s AI startup a few months ago and continue to find his founder updates insightful, whether you are an early stage founder or not give them a read.
You are the product: VCs aren’t doing you a favour - you’re offering them a chance to invest in something valuable: you and the business you’re building.
Rejection is part of the game: At first it can feel crippling. BUT, in the no’s there’s as much value as the yes’s. Hear me out... They will make your strategy and communications much better.
Transparency as a differentiator: Dan writes these updates to help other founders first but they also create a virtuous cycle of support and advocacy from the founder community. Increasing your surface area compounds.
*Process
The Harada Method
“Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.“
— Joel A. Barker
The Harada Method of self improvement: Created by Takashi Harada, a former Japanese high school track and field coach. It is a structured system for self-development and goal achievement that emphasizes self-reliance, discipline, and aligning personal goals with a larger purpose.
The Four Aspects of Life: It aims to harmonize and improve four areas of an individual’s life:
Spirit (Motivation, enthusiasm, belief)
Skills (Abilities, mastery)
Physical Condition (Health, energy)
Daily Life/Routines (Habits, consistency)
Routine and Reflection: The method heavily relies on establishing new, positive daily routines and using a Daily Diary to track performance, reflect on actions, and foster continuous improvement.
