Better Practice
Better habits make better people.
A calm mind, a fit body, and a house full of love. These things cannot be bought. They must be earned. - Naval
Knowing the right thing to do and having the discipline to repeatedly practice doing the right thing are two very different ideas.
Our lives are the outcome of the stories we believe and the company we keep.

Perspective
The hardest thing in making meaningful progress is focusing intention. When intentions are not aligned with actions you create dis-ease.
Traditional systems of influence and credentials will become irrelevant.
AI will force us to understand the true value of being human. Blockchain will force integrity as your reputation will proceed you.
- The most important person in a clinic is the practice manager, they set the vibe and flow of operations.
- The most of important decision we can take is how to be.
- Small business is the biggest most important business
- People need human touch and need to feel heard
- The greatest benefit from higher education is the network, network is everything
- Proximity and accidental collisions are the key to creativity
- With AI you just need to create space to practice learning anything
Progress as an individual, team, community has the same fundamental principles to address
Fulfilment
Eliminate dis-ease by aligning words and actions with inner purpose and values.

Problems
There is going to be a fucking massive upheaval to world's operating model, how can the transition be as smooth and fair as possible?
Societal
As a human being seeking fulfilment:
- Humans are moist robots, AI will easily be capable of manipulating.
- Twitter is not an accurate representation of how most people perceive the world. They don't give a fuck about tweet threads.
- Schools do not teach what is relevant to living a meaningfully productive and fulfilling life
- Social media platforms algorithms are not incentivised to have our best interests at heart
- Many people lack of meaningful connection in their lives.
Service Customer
General
- Identifying the best match for your issue
- Instructing the Service Provider effectively.
As a health practice customer:
- Expensive to pay out of pocket for full treatment
- Lack of time and energy to focus on health
Service Provider
Anyone that offers advice for a living, medical, business, etc.
- Selling the Journey Authentically
- Meeting client expectations
- Meeting expected KPI targets
Business Owner
As a founder / business owner:
- Understanding what standards expected outcomes and quality of work from other professional services.
- Ineffective time management, clarity of purpose, and focus
- Do not know how to setup, or understand the value of having systems for driving continuous improvement
- Not a property developer but need to make important real estate decisions
- Lack business admin experience and expertise, unaware of business principles and operations cycles
- Lack expertise to leverage software to achieve maximum benefit with minimum effort
- Inexperienced at instructing professional services effectively
- Lack awareness why they need a written marketing strategy and how to plan time to execute it
- Lack systems to handle HR and experience to onboard new recruits into a team culture
- Lack systems to delegate responsibility effectively
- Don't understand benchmark expectations to judge performance
- Lack of time and energy to focus on customer experience
- Lack capability to prioritise on solving problems that will "move the needle".
- Lack of understanding of how to set and monitor KPIs for the purpose of driving progress
Predictions
Prepare for the "Feeling Economy" that values soft skills.
The most successful people will be those that combine technical and human-centric capabilities to work in collaboration with AI insights.
- Emotional intelligence and empathy: As AI takes over more analytical and thinking tasks, the ability to recognize, understand and respond appropriately to emotions will become a critical differentiator for human workers. Empathy enables more meaningful interpersonal connections.
- Creativity and intuition: While AI excels at optimization and pattern recognition, humans still have an edge in creativity and intuitive thinking. These skills will be essential for innovation and problem-solving in ways AI cannot yet match.
- Interpersonal and communication skills: Effective collaboration, persuasion, and relationship-building will be paramount. The ability to pick up on social cues, listen actively and adapt communication styles is something AI struggles to replicate.
- Adaptability and flexibility: As technology rapidly evolves, human workers must be open to change and able to seamlessly transition between new tools and platforms. Mental agility and a growth mindset are key.
- Critical thinking and complex problem-solving: Tackling unstructured problems that lack clear solutions requires uniquely human skills in analyzing issues from multiple angles and exploring lines of questioning to find answers.
- Purpose-driven skills: Skills that provide a sense of meaning and human touch, like empathy, creativity, and interpersonal savvy, will be in high demand to balance out AI's cold efficiency. Women may have a natural advantage here.
