🚀 What I’m doing now in business & life

Welcome to my Now Page. This is where I share what I’m currently working on, focusing on, and prioritizing in my business and life. I update this page monthly to reflect my latest projects, habits, and goals.

I’ve structured my Now Page around NM5D – The 5 Disciplines, a system I created to track daily execution and stay focused on what truly matters.

Each section represents a core discipline that helps me build momentum in business, health, and personal growth.

🌍 Inside my business & life right now

Here’s what I’m currently focused on, from growing my business to optimizing my health and lifestyle.

Below, you’ll find the key areas I’m prioritizing right now.

🔥 Execution win – taking action on key priorities every day

Right now, my main focus is expanding my personal brand and scaling my online lifestyle business.

I help creators, solopreneurs, and entrepreneurs build their dream online business and life –but with a different approach. Instead of relying on motivation, my focus is on discipline and execution – because success is built on consistent action, not just ideas.

Here’s what I’m actively working on:

• Finalizing My New Website – Making the last tweaks on this site with my good friend Gion-Per and his team at Sales Elevation. The dark mode design took way longer than expected (it’s much harder to get right than a lighter version), but I’m really happy with how it’s turning out. Let me know what you think!
• AI for Creators Summit 2.0 – The first summit in 2024 was a huge success, and now I’m working on making version 2.0 even better. I’m also planning another summit, but I’ll keep that topic under wraps for now – it’s going to be big.
• Updating Old Content – I’m going through every piece of content on this site and refreshing it (a tedious but necessary process). This will help keep everything high-quality and up to date.
• Expanding My Digital Products & Resources – Virtual Summit OS continues to help creators launch profitable online events, but I’m also developing templates, swipe files, and digital products that go beyond summits. These will cover areas like online business, productivity, and content creation to help creators and entrepreneurs execute faster and more efficiently.
• Creating Free, High-Value Resources – I’ve put together free resources like the ultimate Creator Tools List and Video Gear Guide, with more on the way, including my 100+ Life-Changing Books List and other valuable resources for creators and entrepreneurs.
• Planning New Content for My Site & YouTube – Creating fresh, valuable content while finally building a system to multiply and repurpose my work across platforms. This will help me be more consistent on social media.
• Launching My New Email Newsletter – Navid Insider – This will be my main way to share insights, strategies, and updates directly with my audience.
• Speaking Opportunities & Features – If you want to feature me on your blog, podcast, or virtual event, feel free to get in touch here. You can also check out my previous media appearances here.

Success comes from consistent execution, not just motivation. I focus on showing up every day, doing the work, and improving my systems to maximize output.

🏃‍♂️ Movement win – prioritizing physical activity for strength and energy

Movement isn’t just about fitness – it’s about building a body that fuels performance in all areas of life.

By staying active daily, I improve my energy, focus, and discipline, making everything else I do more effective.

Here’s what I’m prioritizing right now:

• 75 Hard & Beyond – Sticking to the challenge and maintaining discipline through structured training. But this isn’t just about 75 Hard – I believe discipline should be sustainable, not rigid. That’s why I’m developing NM5D as a system that keeps movement non-negotiable while adapting to travel and real-life situations.
• Strength & Endurance – My routine includes a mix of hiking, strength training, swimming, and mobility work to stay strong, adaptable, and resilient.
• Longevity & Biohacking – I focus on quality sleep, whole foods, and performance-enhancing habits to maintain high energy, recovery, and long-term health.

Discipline in health builds discipline in everything else. The better I take care of my body, the sharper I perform in business and life.

🌱 Growth win – learning, improving, and expanding my mindset

Success isn’t just about business – it’s also about adventure, learning, and experiencing the world on my terms.

Right now, I’m focused on:

• Daily Meditation & Mindfulness – Using Headspace and Waking Up to stay mentally clear and focused.

• Reading & Learning – Using Audible, Shortform, and Blinkist to absorb insights from top books and continuously expand my thinking.
• Freedom Trips – Taking time away at least once a month for deep thinking, nature immersion, and perspective shifts.
• Da Nang Base 🇻🇳 – Living in Vietnam until early May, exploring the lifestyle before heading to Bali 🇮🇩.
• Learning Spanish – I didn’t have time to study much Spanish while in Venezuela 🇻🇪, but I still want to learn over time when I can fully focus on it. I’m considering using Babbel, Italki, or other structured methods to make steady progress.

Freedom comes from discipline – when I have systems in place for work and health, I can fully dive into new experiences without losing momentum.

📝 Reflection win – reviewing progress, journaling, and refining systems

Discipline isn’t about willpower – it’s about building systems that make progress automatic.

Instead of relying on motivation, I create structured routines to track execution, optimize habits, and stay consistent.

I’m building a structured system for execution, making discipline second nature. Instead of relying on willpower, I create systems that ensure progress every day.

Here’s what I’m developing:

• NM5D – The 5 Disciplines – A structured framework for tracking execution, optimizing habits, and maintaining consistency across key areas of life.
• Daily 1% Wins – Logging small, daily improvements that compound over time, reinforcing discipline and growth.
• Refining My Personal OS – Creating a repeatable system to manage my business, content, and lifestyle, making sure I stay focused and consistent long-term.

Discipline isn’t just about pushing harder – it’s about refining systems that make execution effortless and progress inevitable.

💪 Resilience win – pushing through challenges and staying on track

Discipline isn’t just about doing the work when it’s easy – it’s about showing up even when things get hard.

The ability to stay consistent through adversity is what separates those who succeed from those who quit.

Here’s what I focus on:

• Mental Toughness – Training my mind to show up and execute, even when motivation is low.
• Pushing Through Obstacles – Finding solutions instead of excuses, no matter the challenge.
• Building Long-Term Grit – Staying the course with my goals, no matter what life throws at me.

This isn’t just about me – it’s something I’ll be turning into a premium Notion template and structured system to help others build discipline and execute at a high level. Stay tuned for that by signing up for my exclusive newsletter.
