Hello Digital Entrepreneur Readers! Welcome to the InnerOS by Untapped Lab.

As you were reading, there are two runways in entrepreneurship: money and energy.

Though there are countless systems to manage money, we rarely create systems and processes to manage our internals.

Your internals (mindset, emotions, thoughts, feelings, beliefs) can greatly effect the outputs you need to consistency produce or create.

• Think about it: who would you be if…?

What do you actually mean by “inner operating system”?

Instead of a haphazard dabbling in activities and tasking, imagine having a simple, repeatable system you could fall back on to manage the inner game.

The same way we build operating systems to manage teams and tasks, we can also build an inner operating system for our beliefs and behaviors.

Let’s do a quick self-assessment:

InnerOS Framework

🔥🔥🔥 Open each toggle for a burning question:

• VISION: why you want to get up in the morning
• POSSE: who makes you want to level up
• GAPS: what are your weakest links
• BELIEFS: how your beliefs shape your behavior
• HABITS: when and how you get stuff done
• PROCESS: how you manage your inner game

Design focus, flow and momentum on a daily process that moves you towards a clear vision.

Energy Self-Assessment (10 questions):

How well are you managing your inner game?

• When experiencing a sense of crisis or extreme stress, am I able to fall back on a locus of control?
• I have a regular protocol to stabilize energy levels that’s comprehensive and progressive.
• I have a high degree of self-awareness and am able to manage my mindset.
• I am able to harness my attention, eliminate distractions and put deep focus on getting a chunk of work done.
• I have clarity on a vision for my life that steers my daily direction and dictates definitive goals I’m excited about.
• I know how to push myself by adding new levels of intensity that challenge my ability to learn against my existing skills.
• I schedule time in my calendar for active recovery sessions to intentionally replenish myself each week. (ie. walks, sauna, meditation, massage, etc)
• I work on cultivating my determination and grit by pushing through difficult activities that might be stressful, mundane, or confusing.
• I leave room for joy and know how to relax; not over-scheduling, over-prioritizing work, or taking things too seriously.
• When experiencing noticeable dysregulation in my nervous system, I know how to perform quick and effective exercises to bring me back to a calm, neutral state.

Add up your scores with Strongly Agree = 3, Somewhat Agree =2, and Strongly Disagree =1.

If you scored under 20, you would greatly benefit from tapping more energy potential! ⚡ Each of these have practices you can use to cultivate new skill or deepen the grooves on existing behavior.
