The Startup Ideas Podcast
The best businesses are built at the intersection of emerging technology, community, and real human needs.
“Your outcomes in life follow your energy.”
What It Means
You perform best and achieve better results when working on things that naturally energize you rather than drain you
Why It Matters
Energy management is more important than time management for high performers
When It's True
When you have choices about how to spend your time and what work to pursue
When It's Risky
When you don't have privilege to eliminate energy-draining necessities, or when confusing comfort with energy creation
How to Apply
Audit your calendar for energy-creating vs draining activities
Prioritize opportunities that align with your energy patterns
Focus on how activities make you feel after completion, not during
Example Scenario
“Consultant realizes client work drains energy while writing energizes them. Instead of taking on more high-paying client work, they reduce client load and increase writing projects. Counter-intuitively, this leads to better financial results as the writing creates more valuable opportunities.”
