planning is overrated just take the shortest term action that is in the general direction of your goal reality is a super high dimensional space, so this basically always works

This is what most people don’t understand about corporate management Weekly I’m involved in a meeting or a conversation that would totally ruin the average persons day, week, month, quarter ect Just gotta be like a duck and let the water flow off your back and keep it moving I don’t let any of these things occupy my brain space for more than 30 minutes max After that it’s purely execution mode Makes life so much damn easier to me simply because that’s how I frame the problem to my reality Small deal to you, small deal to them Big deal to you, big deal to them Remember this

i really think this video is a watershed moment, at least for american liberals. i am seeing so many boomers on facebook and instagram finally understand the (racist) double standards muslim politicians are held to in this country. i believe in good!

high agency = viewing everything as a solvable problem this worldview is extremely effective and will take you far… until it doesn’t the human condition includes unsolvable problems. one of the biggest challenges in life is learning to accept them the longer you’re able to defer that problem, the harder it is to face - because you have so much practice & evidence of “I should be able to fix this” the fantasy of being high agency is that it’s a universal good, that would improve everything in your life. not so! still worth pursuing, if you like, but there is no panacea for life

i regret to inform you that personal growth rarely comes from acquiring new knowledge and almost always from: -getting humiliated -showing up terrified and doing it anyway -admitting you might be the problem

One of the most common problems that most people can’t overcome is self-sabotage. Self-sabotage comes from two primary causes. The first is related to the mind, and the second is related to the body. The first main cause is the mind. Self-sabotage comes from a misalignment between your actions and your identity. If you don’t believe that you are the type of guy who can make huge amounts of progress, deep down you will always sabotage yourself because you simply cannot run away from who you truly are. The second cause is the body, or the physical world. Even if you have the right mindset, but you are stagnant, you will still self-sabotage because the universe is built on movement. Stagnation is death. Every time you feel that you’re in a self-destructive mode, go for a walk, go to the gym. Move your body, then take action to bring your goals into reality.

The cure to self-pity and self-sabotage is movement and alignment.

unpopular opinion: being great at sales has less to do with always knowing what to say and more to do with not freaking the fuck out when you don’t. the prospect goes off script. the objection is weird. the call takes a turn you didn’t expect. average reps search for the right line. great reps stay present long enough to figure out what actually matters.

telling your brain "I don't wanna but I'm gonna" is a cheat code. tricking your brain into believing that it will be OK and "you can do it" just works fine. try this and see your life improve significantly.

I meet very few people who have strategized their way into an incredible life. I meet many people who have stumbled into one insofar as there is a conscious “strategy” that works, it seems to be: “do a lot of what energizes you”

The person most comfortable in their own skin always wins. Guy's wife, kid, etc comes across some luxury travel video, finds out an acquaintance or another parent recently bought a huge house, says something innocent like "omg that's a dream" to him Guy who loves himself naturally responds with lightness. Says that's amazing, I'm so stoked for them, there's so many beautiful things in the world and he genuinely means it. Guy who doesn't will always give off some sort of energetic tell that maybe reveals he's jealous, punctures his confidence, makes a remark like "probably family money" or something etc Indirectly teaches everyone around him how to perceive him. "Through my repeatedly low vibrational reactions I'm signaling to you that my self worth is derived from comparison, so inevitably via osmosis you will start to view life through that same lens as well" Manifestation. Create your own reality. "I'm under so much pressure to meet expectations so they won't think I'm not good enough etc" wrong he turned that belief into the truth on his own and roped others into his field of influence. How he perceives himself is how others will perceive him. Perceive more abundantly, more genuinely, and people have no choice but to follow that lead

Most relationship problems are ultimately just a lust for life problem. Gf/wife unhappy, kids distant, some disconnect with the family etc. You try to solve the discomfort through tangible achievement. Think it's because you're not making enough, providing enough, "successful"

Most relationship problems are ultimately just a lust for life problem. Gf/wife unhappy, kids distant, some disconnect with the family etc. You try to solve the discomfort through tangible achievement. Think it's because you're not making enough, providing enough, "successful" enough You need to upsize the house, upgrade the vacations, perform more, show off more. Not realizing that this comparison based expectation you created in your mind and how it subsequently causes you to behave is exactly what's causing the problems in the first place Meanwhile the only problem is just a severe lack of vitality. You're boring and moody and see reality as an obligation and take yourself way too seriously. You're not a beacon of energy, you don't inspire the people around you, you don't inject wonder and curiosity into their lives. There's no adventure, no spontaneity, no presence. You lost their love because you lost the love for yourself

It doesn't matter what you are trying to achieve, you will struggle to make significant progress as long as you are afraid of ignoring the rest of the world temporarily. Everyone is constantly trying to get your attention, and if you don't tightly guard your time and energy, you will just spend your whole life doing everything superficially and achieving nothing substantially. You might actually even end up with some money and status for being a compliant worker, but you will also feel empty inside, because you will always know that you were merely walking on someone else's path, a joyless and not nearly as meaningful trip. A successful journey begins with the courage to make your own choices, not look back, and keep moving forward despite the consequences of the inevitable mistakes you will have to deal with along the way.

We focus so much on casual sex culture hurting women that we forget it also sometimes hurts men. I learned this the hard way in my early 20s. I'd meet a guy, go out a few times, have sex, & move on without really thinking about it. One guy was HURT. We worked at the same company & his work performance started slipping. He told our boss that the girl he was in love with didn't want him & he was heartbroken 😭 I learned from that: be more clear with people about what you want. Don't assume it's casual for them just because it's casual to you. But even men who claim they're fine with casual can get hurt. I would argue that's on them, but it also still happens. The key lesson: be overly communicative, early & frequently. Tell people if this is just casual for you, and if you sense they're more attached than they should be, bring it up again or stop seeing them. Don't avoid difficult talks just because you're having fun. Fun is the most fun when everyone's on the same page & you know this person is 100% ok with casual with you!

Conquer fear.

Pretty much the best skill you can work on to create max leverage in your life is being less embarrassed about who you actually are

“tell me more” works because most people stop talking way too fucking early. the first answer is usually the safe answer. the polished answer. the answer they’ve already told themselves 10 times. “tell me more” gives them room to keep going until they hit something real. that’s usually where the sale actually starts.

Low IQ enterprise reps wins because they: - Book the next step before hanging up (Sandler) - Ask "who else needs to see this?" (Miller Heiman) - Ask "who signs?" in the 1st meeting (MEDDIC) - Send the recap within an hour, with dates (Bosworth) - Fly out. Buy lunch (Carnegie) They’ve never read any of them, still at 140%.

The key to living a huge blessed life is to remove all shame around your true ambition and shed all conditioning around what you *think* you should want so you can go after what you *actually* want with full energy, focus and shamelessness

hormozi talks about these constantly, but they’re bigger than hormozi. they’re just fundamental sales truths that most people somehow keep trying to outsmart. - turn revenue goals into daily behavior. “i want to make more money” is useless. how many conversations, opportunities, offers and follow-ups does that actually require? reverse engineer the number until today’s job is obvious - role-play the parts that actually break. don’t just run the whole script over and over. isolate the opener, discovery, pitch, objection handling or close and drill the weak part until it stops being weak - discovery is where most of the sale gets won. “tell me more” and “give me an example” sound stupidly simple, but they force the prospect to explain the problem instead of you rushing in to solve it - better demand gives you permission to raise price. stronger sales creates more demand, more demand gives you pricing power, better pricing lets you improve talent and delivery, and better delivery makes the offer easier to sell again - objections should be trained before they happen. if the same 5 objections keep showing up and your reps still look surprised, that’s not a prospect problem. that’s a fucking training problem none of this is sexy. that’s why it fucking works. most people keep looking for advanced tactics while ignoring the shit every great salesperson has already mastered.
