You want to build a thriving online business by doing what you love.
Nothing can be better for you than learning and thinking for a living. You are aware of the opportunity the internet has given you. You are also aware that it's not that easy, and that you need to:
Be consistent and play the long game (Mental Toughness).
Have mental clarity so that you can maximize your creative potential.
Develop the ability to focus and engage in Deep Work.
After studying, experimenting, and coaching others for the last 300 days, here's what I would focus on to upgrade my mind and performance.
Physiology drives psychology.
If you want how to optimize your mind, optimize your biology. You'll be rewarded with:
Energy.
Cognitive Performance.
Mental Clarity.
Start by optimizing your sleep + meditating upon waking + exercising in the morning.
If you get only one thing from this essay, let it be this mental model:
"The worse I feel, the more committed I am to my protocol."
Cultivate the ability to do what you know needs to be done, regardless of how you feel about it. This begs the question: What's your protocol? What do you do when you're on?
You want to have a productivity system that (a) lets you focus on what's important now and (b) aligns your daily actions with your aspirations, goals, and projects.
Bio-Optimization + Mind Mastery + Focus & Alignment = The Optimized Creatorpreneur.
The time has come for you to upgrade yourself and unleash your inner potential.
