If I did it, you can do it too. Just takes much longer than you think.

That “me time” you take at the end of a long day by scrolling in bed?

It’s called revenge bedtime procrastination. And it’s not doing you any favors.

All day long, you answered to other people. Emails. DMs. Kids. Work. Responsibilities.

So at night, you steal a little time back while scrolling on your phone.

Here’s the problem: Scrolling at night suppresses melatonin - the hormone that helps you sleep - and tells your nervous system to stay alert.

That’s why you feel exhausted, but your brain won’t shut off.

If you want tomorrow to feel better, make this micro choice: Tuck your phone in 30 minutes before you tuck yourself in.

In a recent episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, I broke down the 4 simple choices you can make starting today that will allow you to take back your power, time, energy, and peace.

I don't see enough women shouting their wins on here, so allow me to lead by example.

It's a Barnes and Noble Book of the Year AND an Amazon Editor's Pick.

It has taught women across the world how to harness their financial power to leave abusive marriages, get $50,000 raises, pay off all their debt, and break generational poverty.

Sometimes it is protection. Sometimes it is redirection. Sometimes it is something better entirely.

To succeed at investing, you need to have a well-throughout, ideally back-tested, game-plan that you execute, rather than make decisions spontaneously. To build a well-tested game-plan, start by looking at all the big events that have happened before, because, if it happened before, you should assume it will happen again (unless you can say why you're confident it won't). Almost everything that you will encounter has happened before many times in slightly different versions, so if you have a game plan for dealing with all of those you will be in pretty good shape. Also, you will find that having a well-tested game-plan to hold onto during the turbulent times is extremely helpful, not only because your decision- making will be much better but because it will also give you a less stressful and therefore healthier life. Building such a game-plan also produces great learning experiences because it leads you to study cause-effect relationships, and learning is enjoyable as well as crucial to success. So, it will make you happy as well as effective. It was certainly key to the success and joy I had being an investor.

3 harsh truths I've been thinking about a lot lately...

1. Most successful people I've met aren't that smart. They move fast, they take risk, they work a lot. That's it.
2. The world is run by C students & failed employees. You can't underestimate yourself.
3. Managing what you choose to sell, do and focus on is more important than how hard you work or how smart you are.

Example:

You can, for the next 40 years:
• Climb up the corporate ladder
• Grind for a mission you don't believe in
• Spend 50hrs/wk+ away from your family

All for a 401k and a white picket fence at the end to show for it.

OR

You can learn how to buy a business and:
• Own a cashflowing biz in your community
• Touch your work with your own two hands
• Disconnect your money from your time
• Spend more time on the things that matter
• Become one of the few... an Owner.

Ownership is not for everyone.

But it could be for you. Want to learn how? Here are 13 creative income ideas → https://lnkd.in/eVduxB7e

If you don't like being played for a fool, don't become a Product Manager. When are we being fools? How to battle it?

Well, it's all about the responsibility for a Product with rarely given actual ownership and accountability. "Bullshit management," they call it. Product Managers are often mislabeled as the "CEO of Product" due to this misconception. No, the CEO of Product is just the CEO. The Product Manager is there to execute her/his vision with limited independence.

The problem arises when you are almost completely stripped of this freedom and instead are being told what to do, while still holding the perceived ownership.

I saw tons of times when Product Managers had to smile and support, even cheer, for decisions they privately despised and strongly opposed until the very end.

I had to leave one of my most successful projects in a state of a petty MVP, as management forced me to pivot to a project that made no sense even on the conceptual level. I was never allowed to polish something that bumped main metrics by 20%, even in its final form, and had to waste time pushing someone else's political agenda.

Ultimately, both were removed from the product...

The 1st (successful) one: I wasn't there to defend the vision and results. Those were mysteriously removed from the company's knowledge base...

The 2nd: Removed as it "never made sense, to begin with".

Unfortunately, my story is not an isolated incident, but a common antipattern in the industry.

So, how not to be a fool?

For one thing, speak up in the crowd. You don't want to complain to your team, but to your fellow PMs and management, by all means! The worst that can happen is being fired for speaking the truth.

Use data to back up your claims. Show that the direction chosen is not the best one.

If this doesn't work, craft an experiment that can quickly show who is right.

As a "fool", you need to drop the silly hat and show your true Product Management spirit. Be brave enough to speak up and step on someone's ego. Help others who think the same, find the strength to speak up as well, and back you up.

Why be so daring? Cause as the fool you are the scapegoat if the stupid project indeed turns to shit. Rather than see if it's through, you might as well try to prevent it from happening.

This is why you were hired as a Product Manager, not a fool.

To know better.

To collect and use data.

To be aware of many different perspectives.

To do right BY THE PRODUCT!

Not to be a fool and a PR expert for someone else's bullshit.

No need to be a CEO of Product. Being a Product Manager will work just fine!

What do you think? Are you a Product Manager or a jester of your Product?
