Forming new habits alone is hard. Doing it in groups can be a game changer. I'm excited to share more about what I've learned with @joinambitious. This is just a start. If you're into habits, goals, and personal growth, I think you'll love what's coming. blog.ambitious.app/p/form-good-ha…

Accountability is based on interdependence. Create the conditions where everyone’s participation is necessary to make something happen.

there are a lot of things you want to do that you are never going to get done. embracing that is the key to accomplishing the things you *really* want to do.

“When you are stuck, explain your problem to others. Often simply laying out a problem will present a solution. Make ‘explaining the problem’ part of your troubleshooting process.” – @kevin2kelly, Excellent Advice for Living, amzn.to/3mQL4c4 #excellentadvice

Real, meaningful, lasting change happens with other people – people with shared challenges, shared ambitions, and a shared commitment.

Form one new habit at a time and iterate until it becomes automatic.

@tferriss Good habits are effortless (easy to start), engaging (satisfying to do), and effective (rewarding to complete). Design each element to form a good habit: Behavior (what) Motivation (why) Time (when) Environment (where) People (who) Tools (how) ambitious.app

@tfadell At @joinambitious we help people design and schedule habits just like this into their busy days. It’s essential to make time rather than hoping to find it.

There will be no break unless you force yourself to take one. Create time to breath in your schedule.

@simonsinek Trying is essential.

There is a difference between losing and failing. Losing reflects the score. Failing reflects our attitude.

@5harath As a solo entrepreneur @joinambitious, the thing that’s helped most with perseverance is having a group to share my work with – a group that uses the product and gives their time to talk through new ideas regularly. Find a way to create this type of group for yourself.

“I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. It is so hard. Most people give up. Unless you have a lot of passion about this, you're not going tosurvive.” ― Steve Jobs

@markmanson The perception of growth being painful is exactly what keeps so many of us from taking action. It doesn’t have to be painful. There can be a small, simple next step that moves you forward slowly, gently, and effectively.

2/ Changing and improving your life requires you to destroy a part of yourself and replace it with a newer, better part of yourself. Therefore, growth is, by definition, painful.

1/ You can’t grow muscle without challenging it with greater weight. You can’t build emotional resilience without going through hardship and loss. You can’t sharpen your mind without challenging your own beliefs and assumptions.

@jwmares @GoodEggs is nailing this with delivery

We need to get away from Big Food, and the only way to do so is to invest in local food chains. That's why I'm super bullish on tools, marketplaces, and software that makes it easy to do so. "Shopify for local food" is so needed, and will be huge.

@MeetKevon I'd highly recommend going through @aprildunford's positioning exercise - aprildunford.com/post/a-product…

I'm terrible at product naming! Can you help? My new course shows you how to build a free email course that not only brings you superfans but also creates a viral loop so you can be hands-off. "Organic Superfans Engine"? "Superfans Organic Engine"? Are both terrible? 😅

@IndieMohit @bubble @squarespace for a landing page 👌 @joinambitious is entirely built with @zapier @googlecalendar @googlesheets and @SlackHQ with the goal of delivering value through tools people already use.

What would you be doing if @bubble did not exist? Be honest...

@arvidkahl Right on. I’ve stuck with 1:1 onboarding calls for every member of @joinambitious using @Calendly.

How many followers are "enough?" It's both "more than enough" and "never enough" — the number itself has no meaning. It could be 100.000 bots or 1000 true fans — what matters is every single person behind that number and how much you connect with them.

Use Mindful CBT to get unstuck: 1. Identify the thought that's making you feel uneasy. 2. Examine the evidence for and against this thought. 3. Develop a new interpretation based on the data. Listen on @wakingup: dynamic.wakingup.com/course/CO20FE0
