I have come to quite enjoy my new therapy: writing. My accountability, which shows up every week (thatâs you lot) has kept me consistent.
If you havenât tried the art of becoming a regular scribe, youâre missing out on the best form of personal development youâll find on this planet.
The feedback youâve given me encourages me to keep going, especially regarding last weekâs letter.
If you take up writing, here are some things I promise you: youâll speak better, articulate your thoughts better, experience lower stress (it's so good at clearing your head), and find that you have better ideas.
Youâll think better too. The higher you go in life, the more youâll discover that great people excel at bringing others with them.
Thatâs how they get more done. I thoroughly believe that clear articulation of your vision is the secret sauce that makes people follow you, and writing helps with that.
The above was originally written for one of my newsletters a few weeks back. Interested in getting access to these each Monday at 7am, sign up here: www.jamessinclair.net/the-letter

Look at what Apple did to Sony. Sony got complacent.
Remember this phrase: âIf you donât innovate, you evaporate.â
You must invest. You must keep an eye on the little things.
Every Saturday, I trundle around our venues taking hundreds of photos.
I watch our teams and eagerly look for broken windows. There are always so many little idiosyncrasies that give me the heebie-jeebies.
Growth has caused some of our standards to slip - itâs my job to point that out constantly.
I sometimes pinch myself with the sheer size of what weâve become.
I have to report it and tell my teams, "we must do better".
We canât allow sloppy standards - people will stop coming.
Then, we canât pay wages and invest.
Then, weâre done.
This week, I saw a new member of one of our teams not in uniform. I was furious: "How could we let that happen?"
Excuseitis came in on why it happened. âIt was a new member of staff, and we hadnât had time to sort things out.â
No, no, no.
This is so bad.
This tiny little broken window, if not fixed, leads to a blown-off roof and water flooding in. They start so small and then explode in enormity.
Too many broken windows lead to even bigger damage and even more sloppy standards. Your people will just accept sloppy.
The above is a little thing that will cost us nothing. These trivial things donât immediately cause losses, but too many can make a difference.
Yes, do the big stuff: the refurbishment, the investments, the technological innovation. But nothing impresses a customer like knowing their name and how they have their tea before they ask.
The little things are hard to keep an eye on as you grow - but if you create a system to do this, youâll win the day.

I love this phrase: âAn education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.â
If there's one skill that I believe could assist any entrepreneur, it's accelerating the understanding of human psychology. Once you grasp this, the decisions you make become smarter and wiser.
It aids you significantly in your efforts to attract customers. Itâs the foundation of marketing in my opinion.
Entrepreneurs are often labeled as âgifted".
People might say, âeverything he touches turns to gold.â Codswallop to that.
They often only see the end results, not the struggles. Only YOU see that.
The driven Entrepreneurs have simply have had more attempts than most which in turn makes them remarkably resilient.
Something I'm proud to say is how I can recover quickly from setbacks. They teach us how to avoid them in the future. Then we continue, armed with a wealth of knowledge.
People close to me often say, âYou forgive too easily.â
The truth is: I havenât the time to dwell more than necessary.
Once you've overcome a difficult person or a wrong business move, you recognise the traits of âdodgy and wrongâ. You develop even more muscle memory.
Society might label it as âgut instinctâ but, in reality, itâs experience.
Ten thousand hours of practice will make you proficient.
Ninety percent of people think more similarly than youâd imagine.
Most like to keep things safe, then thereâs the Entrepreneurs: the ten percent who dare to venture into business, those labeled as outsiders, workaholics, and risk takers.
We need that 10%.
