BREAKING NEWS: I'm on The Apprentice! 🎬   And no, I'm not just there to make the coffee.   Last year, I was in a banking job feeling unfulfilled. But I took a risk, quit my job, and now I'll compete on TV and get bossed around by Lord Sugar.   Wish me luck! 🤞   #TheApprentice

@ASOS_Menswear @ASOS_news Hi Team, I ordered £900 worth of items from ASOS. Want to return items. One tie never arrived. Missed the return window by just a few days due to startup launch. Loyal customer. Refused refund despite missing item. Can someone please help? Thank you!

This week I’ve been thinking about the inevitable trade-offs you have to make in life. The things you need to put down in order to pick something else up. The life paths you have to kill so you can pursue others. Christopher Hitchens once said: “In life, we must choose our regrets.” I haven’t really been able to stop thinking about that over the last few weeks. In life we must choose our regrets. I’d never considered things that way. I’d gone through life with this assumption that it’s somehow possible to have no regrets at all if you get things right. If you make precisely the right choices at the right moments then maybe you can totally avoid regrets. I’d presumed that any regret is essentially the side-effect of a sub-optimal decision. I never considered that regrets could be unavoidably baked into the fabric of life. They’re features, not bugs. Upon reflection, this seems obvious. Opportunity cost demands that we sacrifice one thing in order to do another. You can make the absolute best choice, and yet still regret not making some other one. Plus, we don’t get to run life twice, so you never know whether the decisions you made were right. So, regrets are unavoidable. What does it mean that in life we must CHOOSE our regrets? Well, a lot of the time we’re going to incur some pain no matter what decision we make. We need to choose between a relationship and a new job. Either decision is going to cause regret, and given the fact that regrets are unavoidable, which regret do you WANT? I think this adds a lot of clarity to big, difficult decisions. Rather than working out which decision you want to live with, imagine which decision you couldn’t bare living without. Which regrets could you put up with having chosen, and which could you never forgive yourself for? In life, we must choose our regrets.

Networking is overrated. Become first and foremost a person of value and the network will be available whenever you need it.

Two of my rules for life: 1. The person who has the most fun wins. 2. The climb is the fun part.

I’m busting the myth that you need big bucks to start a business. Here are 4 simple, cost-free ideas. Let's go! youtu.be/bCM-rc0gYWU

In 2001, Warren Buffett gave a talk at the University of Georgia. He asked them the most Warren Buffett question ever: • If you could invest in a friend and get 10% of their income for life -- who would you pick? Once the students answered the question, he then asked this: • Why would you invest in that person? • What character traits do they have? Now they have a list of character traits to adopt. Shortly after this, Buffett asked: If you could short a friend's earnings, who would you pick and why? Now you have a list of character traits to avoid. ---- 1. Do not think this thought experiment is limited to money. If you don't care about money -- you can use it for whatever currency you value instead. E.g. Happiness coin If you could get 10% of a friend's happiness, who would you invest in and why? If you could short someone's happiness, who would you pick and why? You can run the same thought experiment with Fitness coin, Friendship coin, Romance coin, etc` 2. This thought experiment is genius because it hacks a bug in life's video game: Humans are terrible at self-awareness. But we are great at spotting things in other people. E.g. If your friend is in the wrong relationship, you can realize in 10 minutes what may take them 10 years. Daniel Kahneman summarised his book on cognitive biases with the following: “The premise of this book is that it is easier to recognize other people’s mistakes than our own.” - Daniel Kahneman 3. Nuance - It has to be purely from merit. Buffett says it can't be because someone will inherit a large sum from their parents. It has to be based on their behavior. E.g. If you want 10% of someone's fitness coin, it's not because of incredible genetics -- is because of the actions they take.

My two simple lenses for friendship: 1) Do they genuinely root for you when you win? 2) Do they make you better? Finding people who do even one is rare. Both even rarer. Which is why they get the highest title of “friend”

@MrJamesRowe Who needs business acumen when you've got unpredictability?

Avi from The Apprentice going on Countdown and scoring zero wasn't on my 2023 bingo card

@Maxxer1 @Maxxer1 Noah, thanks for the shoutout. Guess I'm the Anne Robinson of contestants. Always aiming for iconic!

#Countdown Avi was absolutely pathetic today. Not big, not funny, not engaging. If you're no good at these kind of games, why bother ? I'm assuming there's a distinct lack of applicants. I've not been this cross since Anne Robinson was in the chair

Ever noticed how so many successful people say they worked insane hours for years before burning out and then finding a better balance. They warn young people about the folly of losing work life balance. But here’s the rub, if you ask them if they’d have become successful without that kind of work they all say no. The formula is work damn hard, get a massive breakthrough, almost burnout, become reformed, preach work-life balance to others.
