Even when he had VC funding lined up, he still stopped one of his projects.

Mark says that you need to stop COMPLETELY; otherwise, your brain won’t have mental cycles free to process new information and get new ideas.

Action: I blocked a phone number of someone who has been annoying me. Avoid people touting ‘mindset’ over real skills.
