BLACK BOX: Edition #2 just landed!

Hi Profaseekers,

Welcome to Edition #2 of the Black Box — A curation of the ‘best-of-the-best’ stuff discovered on the internet—with gold nuggets to make you think, live and BE better in business and life.

Note: We don’t get paid to recommend anything here. We care, so we share.

Let’s begin:

???Read of the Week

“The iPhone could be an incredible tool, but most people use their phone as a life-shortening distraction device.”—-Tony Stubblebine. You’d be amazed at how much more productive you’ll get if you quit being bossed around by your phone and take full control of your habits.

The image below is an example of how Chad’s optimized iPhone looks after reading this 70-minute invaluable iPhone optimization guide here. He knows exactly WHY he uses an app so he’s less distracted and more intentional.

?? Life Hack for the Week

The family remains the one most important entity in everyone’s life. Unfortunately, business creeps in and creates an imbalance between work, family, and life.

Here’s a tip to tip the scales: Run your family like you run your business.

Ask these 3 questions in your weekly family board meeting:

• What things went well in our family this week?
• What things could we improve in our family?
• What things will you commit to working on this week?

This is the recipe to capture opportunities to build deep and meaningful connections with your children.

And if you’ve never held a family meeting, it’s best to start now. Check out this book called The Family Board Meeting to help set up structured and productive meetings. They’ll help strengthen your family as much as they open up space for learnings in your business.

?? Quote of the Week

“Find three hobbies you love: One to make you money, one to keep you in shape, and one to be creative” — anonymous.

We don’t know who wrote it but it resonates. Why?

We’re only complete in life when we’re:

• healthy,
• wealthy, and…
• using our minds

??? Founder’s Bit

“Hey there! Fancy some authentic business advice?

Great! I recently hopped on a podcast with Envision Horizons , where I talked about how Amazon brands can profit more on Amazon by pricing strategically. I also share some mistakes I made on my own Amazon journey, so you can learn and avoid making them.

For context, I’ve founded and sold 3 successful companies. So you might learn something extra valuable.

It’s all here in the Common Mistakes S2E5 podcast with?Laura Meyer?and?Todd Piechowski. Do take a look.”

???Quick Plug

A select few Amazon sellers have discovered a new way to profit more on Amazon without spending much on Ads. It’s an AI-powered pricing mechanism that uses data points— in real-time—to optimize pricing for greater profitability. Request access here to give it a spin.

There’s more to come.
