Vishen Lakhiani rejects the idea that entrepreneurs must sacrifice sleep, family, or fitness. He argues you can excel across 10 to 12 life areas using the minimum effective dosage: small, high-impact practices that save time.

So there was this debate that happened in Silicon Valley, which I found really interesting. It happened when Randy Zuckerberg, who's Mark Zuckerberg's sister, declared on Twitter something she called the entrepreneur's dilemma. She said, between work, sleep, family, friends, and fitness, you can only choose three. And there's no way to create balance in all five without sacrificing one thing or more. I fundamentally disagree. In fact, I think this idea is so dangerous, it needs to be eradicated from not just Silicon Valley, but from life, from work as a whole. There's not five categories. There's closer to 12, 10 to 12 categories that at Mindvalley I recommend people look at. And you can nail all of these 10 to 12 categories, depending on what model you use, you can nail them all. It has to do with. With the science of minimum effective dosage. There's a minimum effective dosage that you can do for exercise, where you have a body like a trained athlete. There's a minimum effective dosage you can do in terms of parenting, where you raise your kids in a healthy way. Now, this is a controversial one, but stay with me. There's a minimum effective dosage for how you can fuel yourself, how you can be successful at work and still get enough sleep and not mess up your family life and still have time for friends. All of this comes from the science of studying human transformation, studying a lot of the key ideas emerging in the field out there, and then knowing what particular model or practice has been proven by science to give the very best results for as little time as possible. Now, when you learn this, you get to be a master of life. I'm fascinated by this because, as you know, I turn myself into a guinea pig almost every single month, testing out new ideas and personal growth and identify what doesn't work and what powerfully works. And then I take the ones that powerfully work, help make them better, integrate them in my life and the lives of everyone here at mindvalley. And because so many people ask me for these hacks, I'm doing a webinar this week where I'm gonna go through in about an hour or so, as many minimum effective dosage hacks as possible for you. The reason I'm doing this is because I see so many of my close friends, people I absolutely love, who are struggling in this area. They are crushing it in business, but they're losing their health or their relationships are suffering, or they're telling me they don't have enough time for their kids or time to eat healthy or bring some travel and adventure in their life. On this webinar, I'm gonna be live. It's not gonna be a recording. So you'll get to ask me questions, and I'm gonna do my best to answer them as much as possible. And I'm gonna take you through a training complete with slides and tons of data and tools that you can instantly bring into your life. I'll see you there.
