One of the easiest but also hardest and most important things in life is being able to change your mind...

February 2023
In the long run...
The faster you want results, the longer it'll take you to get those results...
| |
|
The difference...
The difference between what you want and what you'll end up getting is what you're willing to give up to get it...
| |
|
As many as you possibly can...
The best way to figure out what to do is to try (and do) as many different things as you possibly can...
| |
|
A human being is...
It's not a company that's buying from you. It's a human being working at that company that's buying from you. Act accordingly...
| |
|
A lot more important
Once you start taking action, you'll realize that most of the stuff you were worried about doesn't even matter. And instead, dozens of other things you never even thought about turn out to be a lot more important...
| |
|
Worth remembering
Everything that's scalable is a lot more competitive, leads to a few (big-time) winners and many more losers. Just try to keep that in mind...
| |
|
The most...
In the long run, it's the stuff you never even started (but probably should have) that will cost you the most energy and resources...
| |
|
Where to push..?
It's not about pushing as hard as you can. It's about figuring out where to push...
| |
|
Volatility in your life...
Trying to eliminate volatility in your life will automatically also eliminate opportunities in your life...
| |
|
The skills you get...
A job rarely gets you skills that will get you freedom. It usually gets you skills that will force you to keep working a job...
| |
|
It's a trap...
"Everybody" is never a good starting point. Or a good niche. Or a good target group. Ultimately, everybody is a trap...
| |
|
In your best interest...
If you can't or don't want to decide, then someone else will decide for you. And that decision is rarely going to be in your best interest...
| |
|
Get rid of them...
If you're distracted and can't focus, then just get rid of all the other options and backup plans you have. As simple as that...
| |
|
The big picture...
You can't focus on the details when you want to see the big picture. But you have to know them and really understand them if you want to see the big picture...
| |
|
No new thing...
If you believe that your new thing has to be better than the old thing right from the very start, then there'll never be a new thing...
| |
|
Understanding more...
The less stuff you understand, the riskier it all seems and the safer you'll play. Bottom line: it always pays off to know more and even more importantly to understand more...
| |
|
Crashed and burned...
Unfortunately, most of the advice we get can only be truly understood once we've crashed and burned...
| |
|
Why we get stuck...
The problem with reaching the next level is that you'd have to be willing to risk everything you've gained reaching your current level...
| |
|
Not yet...
If you can't find good people to support your idea, your cause or your project, then the thing you're working on probably isn't (yet) as good as you thought it was...
| |
|
The things we can't do, yet...
Most people give up when they've tried everything they can do. But the solution is rarely found among the things we can do. And instead, it's usually found among the things we can't do, yet. Keep that in mind...
| |
|
Underrated skills...
One of the most underrated skills in the world: being able to change your mind...
| |
|
Above average...
You can try to be cheaper than everybody else, better than everybody else or you can try to be different. In the long run, only one of those strategies is sustainable...
| |
|
Nobody wants to do the hard stuff...
The easy stuff has plenty of competition. Because most people want to do the easy stuff. The hard stuff on the other hand has barely any competition at all. Because nobody wants to do the hard stuff. Keep that in mind...
| |
|
The sweet spot
Most people know what to do. Some people know how to do it. But just a few people know what to do, how to do it and are actually really doing it. That's the sweet spot...
