NSN #9 | ☯️ The Yin & Yang of Corporate Life

Hey there,

Welcome back to this week’s newsletter!

Yes, I know… I missed last Saturday’s edition — but it was intentional.

Last week was the launch of my very first course, and I wanted to give that my full attention.

But now, we’re back! 🙌

And I’m diving into something deep but fun this week — the Yin & Yang of Corporate Life.

Let’s get into it!

🏢 Corporate Hack of the Week: The 2-Minute Rule

This hack is simple — but powerful.

If an email thread starts dragging on or goes back and forth more than 3 times, stop typing. Pick up the phone and call the person.

A 2-minute conversation can solve what a 12-email chain never will.

You’ll:

• Save time

• Avoid miscommunication

• Look like a proactive problem solver 👏

Try it for a month and watch how your team sees you differently.

☯️ The Yin & Yang of Corporate Life

You’ve probably seen this symbol before — Yin & Yang.

It’s all about duality and balance. Opposites that coexist.

Light & dark. Work & rest. Order & chaos.

And guess what?

Corporate life is exactly like that.

Scroll through TikTok or IG, and you’ll see it:

People ranting about toxic workplaces 💀

Others celebrating flexible hours, great pay, and a dream team 🙌

So… who’s lying?

No one.

They’re both right.

I’ve worked in both environments —

The soul-sucking kind… and the kind that truly supports and empowers you.

If you’re stuck in a toxic job right now, don’t give up.

For every Yin, there is a Yang.

The good companies are out there — and when you find one, it’s worth every second you spent searching.

🌟 Quote of the Week

From the legend himself — Naval Ravikant:

“The real test of your career isn’t how well you do your job.

It’s how well your job survives without you.”

Want to stand out?

Become irreplaceable. The harder it is to replace you, the more valuable you become.
