10 years of doing business and running my own business.
Here is a superpower anyone can pick up right now, that will 10X your abilities and proficiency.
Write.
Or more specifically — Take notes.
Document and write down everything.
Like a journalist.
Be fastidious and dogged when it comes to documenting.
Don’t know where to start?
Just record down everything first.
Pro tip: don’t try to edit and filter as you go.
You aren’t there yet, the brain can only do one good at a time.
Just focus on meticulously jotting down everything in a meeting first.
Go back and review the notes in its entirety.
Reflect and soak in the context on hindsight to empower your judgement and register the patterns that will make you think better in the future.
As time progresses, you will get better in documenting notes.
You will be the sharpest one in the meeting room.
You will know how others’ think and speak.
You will be able to see how ideas, thoughts, speech and decisions morph from one meeting to the next.
You will be the living oracle of truth in the office.
The smartest person in the room who will win over others isn’t the one with the highest IQ, it’s the one with the best memory.
People forget half the things they say the moment they leave the room.
Your notes won’t.
Make that your superpower.
Having notes crystalizes your thinking, allows to clarify better, argue based on logic and not emotions.
You can summarise long meetings, note down what to do next in tangible ways and allow your others to correct you if needed.
It might be a little tedious at first, but like anything in life, you will get better and smarter over time.
The best founders, VCs, thought leaders, top-performing employees all do that.
Founders who take notes in meetings with their customers and VCs are awesome.
It helps for setting goals too.
Before you even start setting a goal, track your habits first.
Tracking habits helps with motivation, mental health, saliency of goals and make you better as a whole.

It makes you aware of what you are doing and keeps things salient in your mind.
It allows you to capture the moment, reflect on the past, think about the future.
With a written record somewhere, it makes life so much better already.
Store it on the cloud, on your phone, on your computer, it doesn’t matter.
With these notes, you have a living, breathing record of history being written as you move forward in the path of father time.
It is powerful beyond measure.
Go 10X your effectiveness with this superpower!
