Here are the 5 questions about my zone of genius that boosted my year:

  1. What do I do that makes me feel world-class?
  2. What do I do when I feel like I'm experiencing fun, peace, or joy?
  3. What am I good at but don’t seem to enjoy?
  4. What do I do to avoid being better than others?
  5. What do I do to make myself worse than others?

This year, I’m genuinely happy with my progress.
It might just be the best year of my life.

It’s been a year shaped by stoicism. Relationships. Health. Big dreams. A solid fitness routine. Personal growth. And work—lots of work. Honestly, being a partner in a “boring” business that surpassed $20MM (or 100MM BRL in Brazil, where only 1% of companies hit that mark) isn’t easy.

Last year, I took some heavy hits and was pretty hard on myself.
Now, I see it had a purpose: reaching some big milestones this year.
Having my zone of genius in my conscious incompetence definitely helped.
