Neutron Jack taught people the need to become the best in the world.
When the former General Electrics CEO decided to cut divisions and focus on being the best in only one division, he was initially criticized for his cost-cutting measures and mass layoffs.
People called him “Neutron Jack”.
Jack's strategy was simple yet revolutionary: if a GE division was not first or second in its market, it would be fixed, sold, or closed.
This bold decision led to eliminating many divisions and allowed GE to focus on becoming the best in its remaining divisions.
Jack believed that being the best in one division was better than being mediocre in many.
His story serves as a reminder that sometimes, to build a thriving business, one must have the courage to make tough decisions, even unpopular ones.
Real success goes to those who obsess.
The focus that leads you through times when it’s easier to give up is rewarded by a marketplace searching for the best in the world.
So, What would happen if you’d focus on only one thing in your Business - and working on making it the best in its market?
How about doing that by leveraging AI to your needs?
Today we’ll talk about how you can integrate AI into your Business to get one step closer to becoming #1 in your market.
Let’s dive in.

🍗 Food For Thought
Entrepreneur and writer Nat Eliason on the importance of challenging yourself to do hard things:
"The ability to do hard things is perhaps the most useful ability you can foster in yourself or your children. And proof that you are someone who can do them is one of the most useful assets you can have on your life resume.
Our self-image is composed of historical evidence of our abilities. The more hard things you push yourself to do, the more competent you will see yourself to be.
If you can run marathons or throw double your body weight over your head, the sleep deprivation from a newborn is only a mild irritant. If you can excel at organic chemistry or econometrics, onboarding for a new finance job will be a breeze.
But if we avoid hard things, anything mildly challenging will seem insurmountable. We’ll cry into TikTok over an errant period at the end of a text message. We’ll see ourselves as incapable of learning new skills, taking on new careers, and escaping bad situations.
The proof you can do hard things is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself."
In a free market, we reward the exceptional. We can find the best of anything and everything within six clicks of a mouse.
People don’t have a lot of time and don’t want to take a lot of risks. So, do the hard things, and push through the moments when it’s easier to quit.
That’s when 99% give up.
That’s when your chance arises to become exceptional in the areas that matter - to your clients, consumers, and customers.
