3 Value Bombs
1) Rather than focusing on having 2X growth, let’s focus on having 10X growth. This naturally brings the best ideas and the best strategies to the surface because there’s no way to grow 10X without pursuing the best ideas.
2) A sense of urgency really drives action and creates forward momentum. A great sense of urgency is contagious, but what’s even more contagious is slow, passive inaction, or complacency.
3) You have to be vulnerable. You have to be willing to admit when you make a mistake. As a leader, what environment you create is really up to you, and what you allow is also what you’re creating.

Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: Relentless Standards and Execution Over Strategy
[00:50] – Pre Roll Sponsors
[1:23] – Armir shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- Be a control freak in a way that you try to help people get back control of themselves and focus on things that drive great outcomes.
[2:12] – Flawless execution in everyday life.
- In order to have flawless execution, it starts with your personal life.
- Try to get 7 hours of sleep every night, and don’t drink alcohol before a work day. Wake up early and get at least 30 minutes of exercise in every single morning.
- There is significant room for improvement at most companies without making expensive changes to headcount or significant investments.
[4:23] – Implementing relentlessly high standards for yourself and people around you.
- Bring your best every day. When you understand and accept that you can’t do better than your best, there’s a lot of pressure taken off.
- It’s important to set really big, exciting, ambitious goals.
- Rather than focusing on having 2X growth, let’s focus on having 10X growth. This naturally brings the best ideas and the best strategies to surface because there’s no way to grow 10X without pursuing the best ideas.
[7:20] – Operating with a sense of urgency.
- Having a sense of urgency to take action is key.
- You can bet that in a competitive market, competition is trying to take market share from you on a daily basis.
- A sense of urgency really drives action. And what it does is it creates forward momentum.

[14:28] – Protecting the mission and culture.
- The mission is really important. People spend half of their lives in an office, or nowadays, working remotely. People have to have a mission and they have to have a purpose.
[15:46] – The importance of having an aligned team.
- Form connection. Without connection, you can’t really have a high performing team.
- In order to have connection, you have to create a safe environment.
- You have to be vulnerable. You have to be willing to admit when you make a mistake. As a leader, the environment you create is really up to you, and what you allow is also what you’re creating.
[19:25] – Focus, Clarity, and Execution: the three guiding principles.
- Everyone should be crystal clear on exactly what they have to do and what they’re going to be held responsible for.
- Part of having clarity and focus is being relentless about prioritizing.
- Eliminate distractions.
[21:23] – Armir’s key takeaway and call to action.
- Keep at it and be persistent. If you’re in the business long enough, you may get lucky and good things can happen.
