When you get old u can just do this or u just discover it’s really all complete stupid bullshite.
Best advice I could ever give anyone is focus on what’s important and ignore the bullshite. (And 99% of life is stupid bullshite)

Someone found the 5-Why problem solving template.

We frequently use the 5-Why's in a business owner group I'm in. Every month someone presents on an issue, and part of getting to the root of the issue is going through the 5-why's.
Example:
Cash flow is negative and we're in danger of shutting the doors if we don't get money in soon.
Why?
Sales aren't as anticipated.
Why?
Salesmen aren't closing deals.
Why?
I don't think they know how or care enough.
Why?
I didn't hire the right salesmen.
Why?
Because I suck at hiring and I should have fired these guys and found new ones a long time ago.
Boom. There's your issue. Now we can get to solving it working from the root on up. If we'd have stopped at the first or second why, the root of the problem would not have been found, and any solutions would be meaningless.
My kids fricking hate when I start 5-whying them.

Was sort of discussing this topic with my bff this am.
What do I want? Aside from spending time with family and friends, I want to
travel, see and do the things, experience other cultures, see the world.
So to do that I make sure I do my job well so that I can afford to do the things.
I am also motivated to take care of my body/health bc while I might be old af now, I still have a few decades of living that I want to enjoy to the fullest.
And as long as my brain is functioning well- I want my body to be able to match it. I don’t want my health to impede or deny me opportunities.

It’s 2009 on the horn and Simon Sinek wants you to cite his Golden Circle.

Personally, I prefer Failure Modes and Effects Analysis over 5-whys.

There is no why
One day you’ll die and theyll put you in a hole in the ground and you’ll be forgotten in 50 years
If you aren’t forgotten future “historians” will tell everyone that you were gay because you had a male friend
