So I've been away from Facebook Lives for some time now and took a bit of a break.
And what is very interesting is how that break became a little bit longer and a little bit longer.
And I've been putting off this very live video for some time.
But I got called back to it; I got a wake-up call; I finished a book yesterday, product-led growth, fantastic books by Wes Bush; if you want to check it out, if you're in the SAS space, then you definitely want to see what he's got to say.
And I opened a new book.
And of course, given the title of this video, that book is atomic habits.
And even from the introduction, you can see the benefits; I can see the benefits, and we can see the benefits of small habits.
And James, clear who wrote this, I didn't realize this at all.
I had heard of the book, but I didn't realize how He got into habits, how He got into small habits executed over extended periods of time, growing exponentially into fantastic results.
And there's quite a vivid story.
I won't spoil it for you at the beginning in the introductions like or like I'm a doctor, and it was like, oh, that's, I'll let you read it.
But the call from this book, even from the first three pages, was I gotta get back to this.
Because the world has changed in the last three or four months since I started since I stopped doing life.
Wow.
Okay, we got a crypto crash, we got a stock market crash, we got inflation gone bananas, I just filled up here.
I paid $2.
29 A litre.
For those of you watching in the States, that's probably up close to $10 later now that is Ozzie dollars.
And I think I don't know what that is in US dollars.
But it's a lot.
It's a lot.
It's gone up from, you know, probably $1.
50 to 229.
And 229 is cheaper, stoked and white.
Yeah, yeah.
Cool.
I've been paying, I think, 235 to 239 in Byron Bay where I live, and it's like, okay, we're seeing it in $12 lettuces, KFC over here having to insert cabbage into their burgers because they just can't get lettuce.
So the world has dramatically changed in the last three to four months.
As you know, my journey in systems took a big hit and I will cover this over the coming weeks.
But it did take a big hit.
I got frustrated, I got like, Oh, wow.
Oh, wow, this, this is more difficult than I was expecting.
This is more challenging not because of understanding what a system is or how they work or how to build them.
But the intricacies of doing them with their base form of spreadsheets and documents very difficult.
I was chatting to a buddy today, and I was showing him some stuff.
You know the most ironic thing about systems is how easily they are messed up by that which is not systematic.
And by that, He was talking about one thing human beings.
Yes, you and I, as humans terrible at executing systems.
So I've had a journey to try and solve this to work on this to go okay, well, well, okay, well, how do we take the human factor, the human error factor? Because of the amount of discipline and small details that it takes to actually run systems effectively? How do we fix that? They've been working on that.
So I got some cool stuff for you guys.
I'm excited to share that over the coming weeks.
But this one today is just about getting back in the saddle Beginning the journey back now with James clear he's writing Monday and Thursday, but the training that I've heard, they're like, daily, it's daily.
So you'll know whether I'm daily whether I'm keeping up with the work or not, by whether there is a daily Facebook Live or wherever you are seeing this distributed out if you are hit a like hit subscribe, hit the bell.
I've been watching my kids watch their stuff, and everybody's like, hit the bell, hit the like hit the subscribe.
So if you want to be part of this systems journey, and actually look at how to get it to work involving people.
Having people use systems successfully then is part of a journey that you want to be on.
Alright, that's all I got for you.
If you want more information, head over to systemio.dev. I look forward to seeing you on tomorrow's episode.
