Maximizing
Potential While
Balancing
Presence and
Productivity
Ø Doing masterful work, executing in both work and life, begins
when we embrace the journey that makes it fun and riveting.
This allows us to remaining present, calm and collected.
Ø When you set the bar at best in the world, your world view
changes and you take bold action that leads to experiences
that have you grow much faster. In essence, you cheat time.
Ø At best in the world, all your standards become higher. You
raise the bar.
Ø Hold standards so high and physically act like you’re the best
in the world.
Ø Walk around all day everyday believing it and it will happen.
Ø Happy people smile first, then become happy. You don’t
become happy to smile.
Ø Best in the world is relentlessly improving in every area of life, in
any way possible.
Ø Click HERE for a great tactical piece on being the best in the
world at what you do.
2. You Don’t Learn to Learn, You Teach To Learn
Ø Harness habits and addictions for the better and know the
difference.
Ø Here’s how habits work:
Ø You’re attuned to how conscious and self aware you are at all
times and that’s your entertainment — trying to be your best all
the time.
Ø You know the very real difference between entertaining
yourself proactively vs. being entertained all the time.
Ø Unwinding and recovering from a four hour work sprint with
food and some Netflix is different from looking forward to
leaving work so you can binge on Netflix and pass out before
you have to ‘get up and go to work again’.
Ø It’s all about mindset and shaping your reality.
Ø So context:
Ø “I’m going to give hundreds of these talks and this is one
of many.”
Ø “It’s not going to go as I exactly want it to, so prep as best
as I can and let the chips fall where they may.”
Ø “I’m having a conversation and the script I’ve prepared
will set the frame for a winning conversation.”
Ø That’s the best I can do and I’ll have full faith the conversation
will go as it’s supposed to go.
Ø You give back every day by creating value and being helpful
to everyone around you all the time.
Ø I called on a fellow entrepreneur to have him give me
feedback on our investor deck, and I ended up helping him
out for an hour on enterprise selling as we kicked off the
conversation and caught up.
16. Giving Back Is Daily, All Day, All The Time (continued)
20. You Know How To Exploit Your Strengths and Don’t Worry
About Your Weaknesses
24. You Start Your Day With Intention and Manufacture a Great
Day From the Beginning Of It
Ø Yes you react, but you aren’t reactive with your day. You
shape it from the get-go.
Ø You wake up and acknowledge you have control over the
outcome of this day and prime yourself to create the best day
possible.
Ø Yes it doesn’t always go to plan but the universe will work to
create that reality if you do the same.
Ø The battle is won before the war in the same way the day is
won before it starts.
Ø Then every action you take is perceived as ‘successful’. It was
always supposed to happen that way and you’re just there
embracing it all and winning.
25. You’re Aware of The Power Your Beliefs Have On You
26. You Don’t Judge What Happens, They Know Good Or Bad Is
an Opportunity
Ø This is why the same asshole in #26 ultimately don’t last at work
and the cancerous culture fit eventually has to be fired even
though they produce.
Ø You look at the asshole at work and feel sorry for him/her and
recognize they know not what they do.
Ø And that it’s unsustainable and you only hope they learn soon
enough because they always get’s what’s coming to them.
Ø The bad culture fit never works out no matter how smart they
are.
Ø As Reed Hastings famously says: “don’t fuck with the culture”.
Ø You don’t listen to the dumb media companies that report for
eyeballs and clicks.
Ø You keep up with the bleeding edge technology, health and
other hobbies or issues you enjoy.
Ø How often does politics really affect you? That pissed off?
Create a new system others can follow.
Ø Resisting old systems is a much harder proposition because
incumbents are tough to take down.
Ø I learned that from Buckminster Fuller.
Ø Otherwise, being ‘informed’ isn’t ‘needing to know’ but
empowering yourself with inputs that continue helping you to
think for yourself and grow yourself.
Ø Replace your news with empowering and positive content
that shares that shapes the world in the same way you do with
your outlook.
Ø You know the power of your thoughts and don’t let them stress
you out.
Ø You observe them.
Ø Better yet, you observe the observer, who observes their
thoughts.
Ø You know you cannot control thought and are fine with that
though you can watch your ego and be aware of traits like
pride and fear that create a lot of thinking.
Ø Let go of the emotions behind your thoughts and transcend
your world.
Ø I was at a dinner and it was the 21 year old at the table who
said they hosted and produced a mock funeral for
themselves.
Ø They invited people to a room and he laid their dead and had
them visualize him on his deathbed.
Ø This is a practice for self preservation and a reminder to live life
to the fullest.
Ø It’s not necessary to do the whole production but meditate on
the idea each day to give yourself conviction to be what you
want when you want to.
Ø It’s been reported the number one regret of the dying is that
they weren’t the ‘selves’ they wanted to be but were the
selves others expected them.
Ø Don’t be scared of death. Your survival brain is separate from
you.
Ø Death is simply stopping consciousness. The rest of you is just
the matter.
Ø The only sad part are the stories we tell ourselves.
