I just arrived in Oslo, Norway to give a presentation at the Oslo Business School on the future of outsourcing and work on my company “YouSpin” that is merging with 2 other companies. On that note YouSpin is open to investments with the minimum starting at $4000,- dollars. If this is of interest to you please reply to this email and we will send you more information.
*I always keep a skull on my desk to remind me of “Memento Mori”
Flying reminds me of how little control we actually have in our lives and how dependent we are on each other for coexistence. What I do every time I get on an airplane is to spend the time focusing on everything I´m grateful for in my life. I spend the time from we hit the runway until I hear the unfasten seatbelt “ding” with closed eyes going through everything I´m grateful for. I go through little things like access to clean water to big things like feeling grateful to my heart keeping me alive every day and the people in my life that I love.
This typically takes anything from 10-15 minutes and shifts my state from worry/fear to appreciation. Next time you are fearful try shifting your focus from fear to gratitude. I do this every time I´m about to go on stage and speak. Instead of being fearful of making mistakes or not remembering something, I focus on being grateful to the people that are listening and for the opportunity to add value to the world. Gratitude is very powerful, because it´s the opposite energy of fear.
“Dream as if you´ll live forever. Live as if you´ll die today.” James Dean
Ever since my panic attack I have tried to live every day as it was my last and dreamt like I would live forever in good James Dean fashion. Remembering that I will die helps me focus and give clarity to the aspects of lifethat are really important to me. I find death to be an extremely useful productivity tool because the little things that used to zap my energy and drain my focus fade away in the face of death. (If you have found this part of the newsletter a bit morbid there is a funny cartoon at the bottom that will cheer you up.)
“And this leads us back to death. Steve Jobs, in his 2005 commencement address at Stanford University, said that ‘everything falls away in the face of death’, leaving only the truly important things behind it. Pride, greed, lust and – most importantly – the ego disappears, and you are left with an understanding of what you love. ” Never Work Again – Bakke 2014
