Quick tip that saved me hours this week:

Instead of checking email first thing in the morning, I now spend the first hour on my ONE most important task.

Why it works:
→ Morning energy is highest
→ Email puts you in reactive mode
→ Important work requires proactive focus
→ You start the day with a win

Try it tomorrow and let me know how it goes.

Is it better to:

B) Take on investment/debt to grow faster (scale quickly, pay back later)

I have seen both work. I have seen both fail.

There is no universally right answer, but I want to hear YOUR perspective and why.
