Monthly roundup: best book, movies, most useful video, the skill I worked on, a hypothesis, a habit, and the month's key insight. March 2025.
1) Best book
Alex Hormozi’s “$100M Offers.” I’ve recommended this book before, but now that I’m studying it in real detail, I realize it might become one of the most useful books I’ve read in years.
It’s only available in English so far. I ordered it from Amazon.
2) Movies and shows
Really enjoyed “The Gorge” and “Leave the World Behind.” Of the shows, “Zero Day” with Robert De Niro was interesting to watch.
3) Most useful video
Discovered “Shark Tank.” It’s the well-known American show where entrepreneurs pitch 5 “business sharks,” offering them a stake in their company in exchange for capital and help growing it.
Of the individual speakers, I’m still watching Dan Martell’s videos. He’s an incredibly useful creator for me right now.
4) The skill I worked on
Digitizing every process. This is basically my whole creed for 2025.
In March, I wrote down every single thing I regularly do myself, and realized I could comfortably delegate a lot of that list to someone else.
5) A hypothesis I tested
In March, I got a personal assistant.
We’re at the stage now where I’m gradually handing off some personal tasks and freeing up my time. I’ll be able to write in more detail about the results of this in the April recap.
But already I can see that simply not having to think about certain things anymore, and letting them go, is a genuinely valuable gain — it frees up attention for more important tasks.
6) The habit I was building
Changing position every 50 minutes of work. I spend a lot of time at the computer, so I started either walking a bit, stretching, or dancing for a couple of minutes.
It’s much easier on the body when you give it a small burst of energy through movement every hour.
7) Key insight of the month
This month I finally accepted the idea that I need to substantially rework a lot of the processes at my online school.
Ahead of us: start counting inbound inquiries from potential customers, build systematic marketing, track the full customer journey at every stage, and set up proper analytics.
These are things I’d known about and understood the need for, for a long time. I just really didn’t feel like dealing with them.
After reading Hormozi’s book on offers, and one more Zoom conversation with a sales specialist in the info-business space, I realized it was time to tackle what I’d been putting off for so long.
