What’s the Next Action? This is the critical question for anything you’ve captured; if you answer it appropriately, you’ll have the key substantive thing to organize. The “next action” is the next physical, visible activity that needs to be engaged in, in order to move the current reality of this thing toward completion. Some examples of next actions might be: Call Fred re: name and number of the repair shop he mentioned. Draft thoughts for the budget-meeting agenda. Talk to Angela about the filing system we need to set up. Research Internet for local watercolor classes.

Software has become cheaper and easier to create. Add product-led growth, freemium, GTM playbooks, and an era of abundant capital – and you get a recipe for creating a hyper-competitive market. And SaaS has never been more competitive than it is today.

Optimism has an important place in some, though not all, realms of your life. It is not a panacea. But it can protect you against depression; it can raise your level of achievement; it can enhance your physical well-being; it is a far more pleasant mental state to be in. Pessimism, on the other hand, also has its proper place, and you will find out more about its redeeming aspect later in the book.
