What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content,

just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of"

nested selector

system.

Question to build your evidence vault:

What are three examples of times you've accomplished something you didn't think was possible?

This brilliant question comes straight from an attendee of one of my live events in Delhi last week.

Self-doubt is natural, but it can be crippling.

To fight back, you need to create an evidence vault:

A place where you can go and be reminded of all of the times you powered through, achieved that big goal, faced that fear, and overcame that roadblock.

Write down three specific examples when you've done just that.

If you're struggling with self-doubt, place it somewhere visible. When you feel the pang of the doubt creeping up into your day, read the list and be reminded that you are capable—that you are worthy, that you are enough.

The evidence vault is a power tool for life. Build yours today.

Quote on the pursuit of your dreams:

"Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until 75." - Benjamin Franklin

You get one chance at this life.

Be relentless in your pursuit of your dreams.

Framework to identify your unique edge:

Circles of Success

What do you think you're in the top 0.1% of the world at?

I came across a framework from Dharmesh Shah, the billionaire founder of Hubspot, that helps you answer that question.

It's called Circles of Success:

  • Imagine all of the people in the world on a single large field.
  • Write down your first top arena. On the imaginary field, we place a circle around ourselves and all of the people that have this same top arena.
  • Now write down your second top arena. On the imaginary field, we place a circle around ourselves and all of the people that have this other top arena.
  • Repeat this as many times as necessary if you have more than two arenas that you would characterize yourself in the top class of.

Each circle may have a large number of people in it, but the intersection of these circles is tiny.

The intersection of these circles is where your unique edge exists. There may only be a handful of people in the world that have that same combination of skills.

Here's a visualization to bring this idea to life:

Your plane of competition is actually quite narrow when you identify the intersection of your circles.

An illustrative example to bring this to life:

  • Let's say you think you're top-1% caliber at three things: simplifying complex topics, creative taste, and connecting with people.
  • Indvidually, there are plenty of others that would fall into each of those buckets, but collectively, the overlap is very narrow.
  • Then answer the question: What can you be doing that requires the overlap to exist?

I'd encourage you all to try the exercise this weekend. Define the intersection of your Circles of Success and then slowly build a world around it.

Tweet on the merits of subtraction:

This is a powerful idea.

When you're running into a wall, the tendency is to add. Instead, think about what you might be able to subtract.

How can you simplify to achieve better outcomes?

List of valuable life and career wisdom:

What I Wish Someone Had Told Me

Great list of punchy insights from OpenAI founder Sam Altman.

My favorites:

  • It is easier for a team to do a hard thing that really matters than to do an easy thing that doesn’t really matter.
  • Outcomes are what count; don’t let good process excuse bad results.
  • Get back up and keep going.

Worth a few minutes of your time!
