My Five Weekly Lessons in Under a Minute.
This week
1. The Top 1% Skill
I learned this from Dan Koe.
We either spend too much time planning or fantasizing about the end result.
And too little time executing.
Most of the time is lost in the middle.
Instead, if we lessen the time between ideation and execution:
It hastens progress.
It creates momentum.
It generates quicker feedback loops.
You learn faster.
Especially regarding hastening progress, if you're guaranteed success after 1,000 iterations, then you'll accomplish it faster in five years (or less) than you would in ten (or twenty...or more) if you decreased the time between each iteration.
You probably won't need the 10,000 hours of mastery anyway—story for another day.
But for now, decrease the time between ideation and execution, and watch the magic grow.
2. You'll never be fully ready. Start now.
The perfect time doesn't exist.
You'll never be perfectly ready.
You don't wait for the right time to act. The time is now.
Instead, act now and make the most out of it.
Or more figuratively,
Instead of waiting for the perfect time, start now, and make the action perfect.
Of course, "perfect" will never exist.
But the more you execute, the higher the chances your work looks like perfection.
Maybe not to you, but to others, it's a masterpiece.
That's when you know you're winning.
You'll never be fully ready.
So start now.
3. Macro Action, Micro Problems
Seneca said:
"We suffer more in imagination than in reality."
And because of this imaginary suffering, we create imaginary problems blown out of proportion.
Hence, macro problems.
With micro action.
(Ironically, the only action here is worrying, which is more inaction than not.)
Once you start taking action, you'll realize the problem wasn't as big of a deal as you first thought.
After all, the first step is always difficult.
After that, everything becomes simpler.
Action and problems are inversely proportional.
More action equates to less problems, and vice versa.
Macro action, micro problems.
4. The Power of Your Mind
I first heard of this idea from David Goggins, and I agree: Your mind is your greatest asset.
Metaphorically, your mind is your greatest weapon in this world.
Because if you can control your mind, you can master anything you set it to.
I'm currently piecing together a primer that demonstrates the power of the mind - it touches on some points from Think and Grow Rich, Manifest Anything You Can Imagine, and Earl Nightingale's lectures.
But in the interim, understanding how your mind can navigate you during your most dire circumstances is crucial.
Figures why they talk about mindset being everything.
The toughest battle is the one you have with your mind.
Win that one first, and you'll win any hurdle life throws at you.
Master your mind. The rest will follow.
5. The Camaraderie of Success
Self-explanatory.
Until next time.
