Hey friend,

I spent the last week thinking about the cost/benefit of my work. Am I doing too much? Is it costing me too much in other areas of my life? Should I be proud of myself for my efforts or should I be going harder? Do you ever wonder the same thing?

Some Thoughts

Bulgarian weightlifting coach Ivan Abadjiev used to say "don't be too self-confident". I am trying to take a moment to pause before being too self confident. Too sure that I am correct in my thinking. Even on things where I am very experienced.

What you will learn this week:

☀️ The secret to Hormozi's success

🌍 What is an A+ task?

Alex Hormozi’s Viral Method for Accomplishing Your A+ Task

Credit to Alex Hormozi for this method. It’s so good, I wish I came up with it myself.

Most of us spend countless hours working on tasks, assuming they’re essential.

But why do we choose the tasks we do?

Often, it’s simply because they’re within our comfort zone.

So we can do them fairly easily. We get something done and it makes us feel good.

Like we are achieving. Working. Moving forward.

But deep down we know we are not.

But what if there’s a better way to prioritize our work?

This is where Alex Hormozi’s viral method comes in — a way to approach tasks that clears the path for achievement at a rate faster than most people can imagine.

Here’s how it works:

The Power of the A+ Task

Think about a task you keep avoiding. Maybe it scares you a little.

That’s often because it’s unfamiliar, difficult, or feels too big to tackle.

But this challenging task is what Hormozi would call the “A+ task,” and it’s the key to unlocking your full potential. Unlike the smaller, easier tasks we often prioritize, the A+ task is the one that truly moves the needle.

Imagine you had a list of 5 things to do. You work on tasks 2, 4 and 5. Perhaps because they are smaller, and you know how to do them.

Plus, you get a dopamine hit from crossing out those easier ones.
