The Diary of a CEO: The 33 Laws of Business and Life

Product Information

At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I've conducted on my chart-topping podcast - are a set of principles that ensure excellence. Pillar II: The Story– The best way to influence others is through a great story. For this purpose, you need the power of storytelling.

I was speaking with a colleague of mine and Steven Bartlett's name came up. She explained she follows his podcast religiously and loves the words of wisdom he imparts. Having read this book, I am also a convert.

To be disciplined, the value of the goal and the reward of the pursuit must be more important than the cost of the pursuit. To maintain long-term discipline, limit the obstacles that keep you from achieving your goal. Pillar IV: The Team Law 28: Ask Who Not How When you tell a story to people, the first five seconds are important. You must captivate and surprise people through your stories. The first five seconds of your story represent “the hook” and it must be clear, compelling, and promising. If you can’t do this, people will tune out. The most common mistake is to introduce yourself or overexplain.The word moonshot comes from the Apollo 11 mission, the one that landed Neil Armstrong on the moon. While Armstrong described the mission as “a giant leap for mankind”, a psychological moonshot is a figurative leap that propels you forward with the power of psychology.

Nothing practical, like: invest all your savings in pork bellies. Instead, we must all find our own inner Brian.

As an avid listener of 'The Diary of a CEO' podcast, I was excited to read this book.

Seek the truth: This step usually involves listening and it’s often harder than it seems. This is discomforting, but it’ll give you the chance to learn and move on. The theory of marginal gains says that improving every aspect of an area or discipline would combine and result in something bigger than the sum of its parts. People want the feeling of progress, but since perfection is almost impossible, we can focus on small changes over time. Those small changes add up and make a big impact over time. Sometimes, making an experience worse makes your customers want your products more. For example, energy drinks taste like medicine, but people buy them because they assume their chemicals are powerful. This is the case because humans are irrational in their decision-making. The product you create can be successful even if it doesn’t make sense. Law 15: The Frame Matters More than the Picture Following last year’s SELL-OUT tour of The Diary Of A CEO Live, this year Steven is set to bring audiences an immersive experience unlike any other, and this time… it’s going global.

When you find someone who’s more capable, experienced, and confident, let them do their job. You can excel at one thing and focus on that while you hire people who can do everything else. Law 29: Create a Cult Mentality Leaning out refers to a phenomenon where you ignore situations that may be beneficial to you. This is refusing to accept new information and it stems from something called cognitive dissonance. The psychological phenomenon describes the clash that happens between your thoughts and your actions. When this happens, you have two options: you either give up or you justify your behavior.
