1 Deep Idea - How Louis Vuitton Trains Their Salesman

Did you know that Louis Vuitton’s salesmen are trained to be mean to you?

Their strategy is to make you feel unworthy unless you buy their items.

Instead of trying to prove themselves to you, they make you feel the need to prove yourself to them.

It doesn’t sound kind, but it is effective. In Q2 2024, Louis Vuitton reported revenue of €20.98 billion despite challenging market conditions.

The takeaway: Always position yourself from the highest authority possible.

If you’re a business owner, how can you leverage a higher position of authority? Is that part of your strategy?

2 Habits for a More Productive Life

1. Boost mouse speed.
   
   If you’re going at half speed on your mousepad, you’re going at half speed in your day.
   

   Increase your mouse trackpad speed settings nearly to the max. Every digital task is suddenly faster.
   
   You'll realize how much time you wasted making the long journey across the screen.
   

2. Optimise your meetings.
   

   There are a few meeting rules I do my best to stick to:
   

   1. Have days of the week for deep work and days exclusively for meetings. 1.1. If point one is not possible, then have mornings for deep work and afternoons for meetings.
      

   2. Schedule meetings for half the time. We take as much time as we allocate, not as much as we need.
      
      Most meetings are unnecessary and can be significantly reduced.
      
      Create your own rules that suit your schedule.

5 Great Quotes

1. “ The 3 stages of career development: I want to be in the meeting. —> I want to run the meeting. —> I want to avoid meetings.” - Noah Kagan

2. A great relationship is not only finding the person you have fun with, but also finding the person you want to be bored with. The beauty of long-term relationships is often hidden in boring, ordinary moments.

3. You should always be rooting for the people you know. Not only because you may need their support tomorrow, but also because it feels good to celebrate something.
   

4. “The days can be easy if the years are consistent. You can write a book or get in shape or code a piece of software in 30 minutes per day. But the key is you can't miss a bunch of days.” - James Clear
   

5. “Happiness is having better problems. Success is having better failures. Discipline is having better addictions." - Mark Manson
