‘To thrive in a contemporary, digital context, you need to throw out almost everything you know about what makes an on-premise office tick.’

‘In a remote-first company, processes are created through a bottom-up approach: Everyone is empowered to change the bureaucracy, fostering an organic growth cycle that forces actions to abide by reality, with room for constant course correction and evolution.’

‘All communication lies on a continuum between fully synchronous and fully asynchronous. Knowing when to choose which mode is the key to growth and success.’

‘Every single person in the organization must have at least one metric that they report on weekly.’

‘Only vivid and spcific metrics have the power to set remote workers free to do what they do best. Counterintuitively, the more you measure, the more freedom you have.’

Metrics are crucial for self-management at the top. Achieving flow state requires taking stock of minute reporting so you and your company can focus on what’s important.’

‘Remote async work also puts its energy into running businesses rather than start-ups. What that means is that the accent is on service, sustainability, and hyper-growth, not giant exits.’

‘Multiple nationalities, multiple currencies, multiple time zones, and multiple cultures all on the same team is the new normal.’

‘Look for self-starters who exhibit qualities like introversion, critical thinking, trustworthiness, a strong outside support system, and egolessness.’

‘Hiring remote always means looking for the very closest custom-fit, no matter how specific. With an international array of options, count on finding the right person.’

Leading Yourself

Here is one POWERFUL question for you: ‘Do you feel worthy just because you are alive?’

What do you think?

Because ‘Our ability to be our own solution versus the thing that stands in the way of our success is the only way through and to the life we want for ourselves.’

‘We need to find a way to ground ourselves in our own self-worth, learning to validate ourselves.’

‘The important thing is to have self-confidence in the activities in your life that matter to you and a high sense of self-worth overall.’

‘It’s almost impossible to have strong self-confidence if we are in a constant state of doubting our worth.’

‘Understanding what we are amazing at and what we are suck at are critical to building self-confidence.’

‘If you don’t get comfortable with your own self-imposed limitations, someone else will happily step in to limit your potential.’

‘We must understand and name our fears if we are to conquer them.’

‘The things we fear can impact our decision-making, our ability to innovate, and even the morale of those around us.’

‘The steps we take are more important than how large those steps were.’

‘When we learn how to focus on a bigger mission, it will make overcoming any irrational fears or even facing real obstacles easier to bypass.’

‘Without the will to be different or better, change can never be sustainable.’
