So this is my insight how I implement these in my daily routine.

Keep in mind you don’t have to do all everyday but it should be part of your general “to do list” so as to be developing them over time through doing a lot of problem solving and solution provisions.

Here’s the list:

1. Learning

The ability to learn is one of the most important skills today.

If you can learn quickly, you’re unstoppable.

Information is everywhere, but few know how to apply if or results.

If everyone could, we’d all be fit and wealthy.

So this is how I learn quickly:

Concept → Framework → Implement → Insight

Rinse and repeat.

2. Decision Making

Practice making quick decisions and figuring it out as you go.

A lot of people stay stuck here because of fear.

Fear of failure, fear of embarrassment, fear being seen or of “what if’s”…

But reality is, nothing ever gets done of everyone has this fear.

So biggest pitfall is waiting for the perfect moment—make the decision and start today.

Here’s a mind map how it looks:

By understanding the mind map above, you’ll be able to quickly asses rather the outcome is on your control or not.

If yes, you can immediately execute and have a certainty of what the outcome could look like.

If not, you can the see WHO or WHAT might be acquired in order to get it done.

This is how you truly develop your skills.

3. Deep Work

The results you want come from deep, focused work.

2-4 hours a day, working on one project at a time, is all you need to make significant progress.

Start with 1 hour a day, and gradually increase it.

Focus on ONE specific task and do it as best as you can.

Remove all distraction, turn off your phone, go somewhere solitary, and get to work.

Here’s how you do it:

Choose ONE TASK → Start doing it → Finish Completely → Max 1 hour

4. Emotional Control

Success in any field comes down to performing under pressure.

Expose yourself to discomfort for 30-60 minutes every day, and you’ll be amazed at how much better you handle stress and solve problems.

Setting your tasks to be executed within an hour is already hard.

Thus if you work hard to do so somewhat like you have an urgency for doing it you will see very quickly how much you can get done while also managing your emotions like anxiety and stress.

5. Pivoting

In this fast-changing world, you’ll reach a point where you must evolve and adapt quickly.

The ability to pivot, try new things, and figure it out as you go is a true superpower.

This does NOT mean you need to create everything you see out there but it goes to show that if you can ACT FAST you can also outmaneuver your competition and be ahead of the game.

The core objective is to SEE what’s working and implement it based on your style while keep it close to your branding or vision.

Think about it like AUDI VS LAMBORGHINI:

This is what you want to replicate when it comes to pivoting fast.

6. Loving Yourself

Life is a single-player game, and you’re in your head 24/7.

Speak positively to yourself, forgive yourself, and move forward.

Build self-love through strict self-discipline—never break the promises you make to yourself.

This sounds easy but it’s NOT.

We tend to forget this a lot as humans but practicing it everyday will help you embrace the journey while you’re just starting out and not seeing results immediately.

7. Writing

Turning words into dollars is a true superpower.

Start journaling daily—write freely, sharing an anecdote from your life and your insights.

Then, take you best ideas public and watch how people respond.

Using this skill you can create amazing lead magnets, youtube videos, reels, and much more.

8. Networking

Add value, get results, and people will naturally want to network with you.

The real cheat code is building your personal brand.

Best way I learn to network is by attending events,

Engaging in communities like (skool, facebook group, instagram groups etc)

And most importantly is to provide insights (valuable experiences) as this goes above and beyond way more than just results or flashy display of one’s means of living.

Trust me on this as this is what our society is build upon.

9. Sales Automation

As a solopreneur, you can’t survive without automation skills.

I’m sharing my entire sales systems through 1x insight email every day

I’ve built various offer to help you out and take your one-person business from zero to your first or next sale with the priority-pass systems course.
