You don’t know what you don’t know.
There is so much in the world that it is impossible to know everything. The good thing is there are so many people who have already done research for you. They have written books, recorded videos, written blogs and teach classes.
You must surround yourself with these people. You have your strengths and other people have theirs.
It is easy to be enthusiastic when you start something new. Everyone has fresh legs at the beginning of the race. Everyone is excited for the honeymoon. Everyone can have beginners luck. This is that instant gratification when you start something new. There is always more energy, more excitement because the newness.
It is something you’ve never done before so your knowledge and skill is expanding at a rapid rate. The learning curve is giant and exponential. You can go from complete beginner to mediocre pretty darn fast. Eventually the repetition and familiarity hit. The learning slows down. What used to be new and exciting is now normal. You begin to where down and it becomes boring. This is where champions are made.
The challenge is keeping the same enthusiasm and energy you had at the beginning until the very end. If you are fresh and energized when everyone else is tired or quits then you will have the advantage.
You are nothing but what you consistently do. Without consistency most of what you do is random actions.
When someone is consistent we are in awe of their actions. From the outside we are amazed by how talented they are but when you ask them it is natural for them. They will attribute everything to hard work and practice. They have practiced so much their skills are second nature.
Start small and be consistent. Who knows where you will be in a few years.
Have you accomplished something big or small recently? Many times we accomplish things and forget to celebrate or reward ourselves.
Why would anyone want to do something for you including yourself if you do not show gratitude?
Take a moment after you complete something to acknowledge yourself and tell yourself how grateful you are.
This is known as the Pareto Principle. This principle has been proven over and over again and is considered a universal law. No one knows why but if you accept it for what it is you can use it to your advantage.
Do you know what your 20% is? If you can focus your time on these actions then you can maximize your results/rewards.
Be curious or there will not be movement. With no curiosity there will be no learning. There may be things your not curious about but there should always be something you are curious about.
I am curious about what can make me healthier, what can make me happier, what can make my relationships better, what can make me wealthier. These are just a few topics that my curiosity have changed my life.
When is the last time you were in an uncomfortable situation? Did you put yourself there or were you forced into it?
You will be forced into these situations no matter what and to be ready for these situations you must constantly put yourself in these situations. When you stretch your comfort zone you are comfortable with a zone that used to be your edge.
There are massive rewards for growing. No longer are you scared of what you once were. You will have more confidence in your abilities. You will be able to gain more leverage and influence.
The pain of not growing leads to massive pain as well. You will always doubt yourself. You will not have new experiences. You will actually begin to go backwards or down because you are not growing.
The contrast between the pain and pleasure of taking action should be enough motivation for you to go out there and reach your goals.
Entrepreneur and businessman Tai Lopez says that you should use the 1/3 rule to allocate your time.
Always be reaching for the next level and paying what you know forward. There will always be someone better than you so surround yourself with these people. Even though there are people better than you someone wants to be where you are at so be grateful for what you have. Teach people and pass down what you have learned. Learn the perspective of each person and you will become more valuable.
The more you give the more you live!
It feels good to give. It is very rewarding when someone says, “Thank you!” It means you made someone grateful. You helped someone. You are building your reputation. You are building your network. You are increasing your value. You are saving someone time or money. You are providing value with no expectations.
Money is earned in direct proportion to the amount of value you are giving to the world. The bigger the problem you are solving the bigger the paycheck you will be earning. If you can solve a problem for many people then many people will pay you for it.
For your bank account to grow you attitude about money must change. Money is not inherently good or bad. Money is a very useful resource. It will enhance the type of person you are. If you are generous then it will give you more to be generous with. If you are evil then it will give you more to be evil with.
You must learn the language of money. The basics of accounting and finance. Assets and Liabilities.
