Youāre unlikely to get everything you want. Thatās a good thing, because wants are part of what define us. Itās entirely possible that youāll get most of what you need, though. The trick is in being clear about what you put into each category. whatās at the top of each category for you?

Vita Coco: Michael Kirban - How I Built This with Guy Raz
Soāno joke: two guys really do walk into a bar. While sharing a few drinks on a winter night in New York City, best friends Michael Kirban and Ira Liran met two young women from Brazil. That chance encounter eventually led to a business idea: to sell Brazilian coconut water in the US, as an alternative to Gatorade. In 2004, Michael and Ira launched Vita Coco, only to discover that another startupāZicoāwas selling a nearly identical product. The two companies went to war, using the time-honored tools of corporate sabotage, but eventually Vita Coco emerged as the top selling coconut-water in the U.S.
one of the most relatable HIBT stories ā at least for meā¦ also a sweeeeet one!

Iāve noticed that there are two types of people: Those who try to find out whoās at fault when something goes wrong, and those who try to find out how to fix what went wrong.
I prefer people who fall in the latter group.
