Gut Feeling, Dreams, NoScale, EU
☕ Good Morning!
It’s a beautiful sunny day in London and what better to begin with, than an insightful video by Tim Ferriss. He used to make most decisions on a purely analytical level through pro-con lists, numbers, and quantifiable metrics. On this basis though, some decisions turned out very poorly. He came to the conclusion, that to ignore your gut feeling and intuition is to ignore millions of years of evolution. In his view, you need to observe both! Watch the full video here.
🚀 Maker Stories
Emma Bostian shares with us the detailed process of how she created and self-published her first E-Book. Don’t focus too much on the sales she made, which she admits are also due to her large Twitter following, but more on the transparent step-by-step process she describes and which will benefit anyone looking to do this. She rightly concludes that if you want to write and self-publish you should just “GO FOR IT” and “chase your dreams”. Read the full post here.

💭 Afterthought
I began with Tim Ferriss and will end with him as well! Life is beautiful, and with Spring in the air and temperatures rising, a chilled bottle of rose wine or any other drink is the perfect accessory to a beautiful sunset! Particularly love the branding and the minimalist design of this label! Have a great evening everyone!
