Episode notes

The chapter explores Finland's innovative education system and its parallels to entrepreneurship, focusing on prioritizing skills like problem-solving and communication over traditional subjects. It challenges conventional methods, urging entrepreneurs to design systems for desired outcomes and cultivate a well-rounded skill set. Drawing inspiration from Finland's success, the chapter provides a three-part system for building sustainable workflows and prioritizing tasks effectively.

One of the most listened to episodes in ITS history with an average consumption rate well over 100%. Today, we go through a Weekly Prioritization and Audit Framework for entrepreneurs. We'll hit on three giant shifts you'll likely need to make - ditching a to do list and moving to your calendar, weekly progress reports, and environment design. We get a little help from our friends in Finland along the way.
