jobs done world
The downstream effects are unknown. Do your best and hope for the best. If you're improving the world-however you define that-consider your job well done.
swimming stuff-i-like dancing
Seemingly unrelated [things] that are in fact really related, that's the stuff I like to talk about. Like dancing, language learning, swimming, three-pointers...
economics company industry
Companies that start by redesigning the economics of an industry often finish by redesigning the whole industry-and owning it.
sports athlete school
I was an All-American in wrestling in high school, was National Champion in Chinese kickboxing in 1999 and have spent a lot of time around professional athletes, which includes my eight-plus years as CEO of a sports nutrition company.
believe impact focus
Focus on impact, not approval. If you believe you can change the world, which I hope you do, do what you believe is right and expect resistance and expect attackers. Keep calm and carry on!
entrepreneur worst fantastic-four
What's the worst that could happen?
simple asking results
The best results I have had in my life; the most enjoyable times, have all come from asking the simple question: 'What is the worst that could happen?'
track levels fancy
Awareness, even at a subconscious level, beats fancy checklists without it, track or you will fail.
lonely ninety-nine people
It's lonely at the top. Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for "realistic" goals, paradoxically making them the most time-consuming and energy consuming. It is easier to raise $10,000,000 than it is $1,000,000. It is easier to pick up the one perfect 10 in the bar than the five 8s.
important doe tasks
Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important.
creating distraction states
If you see distraction externally, you end up creating an internally distracted state.
motivational fun focus
It is far more lucrative and fun to leverage your strengths instead of attempting to fix all the chinks in your armor. The choice is between multiplication of results using strenths or incremental improvement fixing weaknesses that will, at best, become mediocre. Focus on better use of your best weapons instead of constant repair.
simplicity ruthlessness
Simplicity requires ruthlessness.
suicide media two
Online I see people committing 'social media suicide' all the time by one of two ways. Firstly by responding to all criticism, meaning you're never going to find time to complete important milestones of your own, and by responding to things that don't warrant a response. This lends more credibility by driving traffic.
