Furthermore, I've learned that I am most content in life when I am living a well-rounded existence. Happiness is when I'm balanced and making progress across each area of my life that matters to me.
Gone are the days where I'm ok working 24/7 and sacrificing everything else in my life.
Sure, I aim to make massive progress across my businesses, but I also aim to make significant progress with my health, family and personal life. And I've learned that when I'm doing so my businesses benefit too (flywheel effect).
Few things are less attractive than being one-dimensional. The world most admires a renaissance man/woman, and being such creates the richest life too.
With this in mind I've tried to design a protocol for myself that if followed is most likely to deliver optimal results. I've also interviewed dozens of founders around their most important protocols and have done my best to distill the most important ones in this protocol.
I call it the
Founder50 Protocol because it's a 50-day protocol that is meant for founders & entrepreneurs who want 2025 to be the best year of their lives.
Why 50 days? Because it takes ~30 days to create a habit, but doing something for one month is easy. We want to instill these habits to ensure that you don't just start the year off right but end it proudly too. Ending strong > starting strong.
Also, 50 days is reasonable - it's not too long or too ambitious.
If you kick this protocol off on January 1st, your 50 days ends Feb 20th.
If you start January 6th, 50 days ends Feb 25th.
Here it is - The Founder50 Protocol: - No phone within 1 hour of waking-up/bed
- Bodyweight in protein consumed*
- Workout for at least 30 minutes
- Check email 3x/day max
- 7+ hrs sleep
- Affirm 1 person
- No dessert or carbs alone
- Limit social media to 30 mins (intentional)
- Read for 15 mins, Create for 10, Meditate for 5
- 1 drink/weekday max, 2 drinks/weekend day max
The goal is to achieve 100% of the above each of the 50 days. But 80-90% adherence would likely be considered a "win" too. It's about progress, not perfection.
For me this is about understanding what I need to do to put myself in the best possible state while considering what will adapt well for others too.
Many of my goals are more intense than what's listed above. For instance, I aim to read for 1 hour per day and write/create for at least 5 hours/week.
Most weekdays I don't have a drink, and often go weeks without one.
The majority of my workouts are 1 hour long.
This protocol was designed so that it's effective while also not being too stringent - feel free to adjust upwards as you desire.
I've learned in life that discipline creates freedom.
50 days of discipline can create a lot of momentum, and that's the aim here.
A few final notes: - Bodyweight in protein consumed means 1g for every lb you weigh
- What will be hardest for me? Probably only checking email 3x/day and also the no phone 1 hour after waking-up rule - I also think (unsurprisingly) that by doing these things it'll have the greatest positive impact in my life. The less time you spend on your phone/in email the happeir and more productive you'll be.
- I combine my gratitude practice and prayer into my meditation - thus I've combined what might be 2-3 different items for you into one for me
- Relationships matter more than just about anything in life. I don't have relationship requirements in this protocol because I feel like I'm in a good natural here there and also everyone's different (married vs not, kids vs no kids, etc). Add what makes sense for you.
- Furthermore, this list isn't supposed to be exhaustive. I only wanted to have 10 items ;)
