here’s a simple truth that i will notwithstanding repeat for every fool that fails to fully understand it:
Get SMARTER first
Yes, ACT first
And yes, get smarter while you’re taking action
But you will obviously get best results if you’re smart to begin with
And you will likely get NO results if you’re stupid to begin with
Men don’t sleep enough
Men eat shit
Men actually eat fast food
Men eat sugar
Men actually drink beer before bed
Men give up 30% of their week drinking and hanged over
Men ruin their reward systems by overloading dopamine
Men actually sit all day, don’t do any physical activity
Men don’t spend time in the sun and in the air
Men actually do things that don’t stimulate the brain but make it more weak and stupid and incapable of thinking clearly
Men don’t have the basic skills down, utterly basic skills like:
-organisation
-prioritization
-decision making
-accountability
-motivation
-social skills
-stress-management
-knowledge of one’s strengths and weaknesses
-understanding of how learning works
-building habits
-self-fucking-respect
All this is extremely basic
Someone who fails all that couldn’t bend over to pick 1000$ bills scattered on the ground
Someone who has it all down will be good at anything he does
Oh and guess what
Someone who is good is at the very least respected good and gets paid good.
THEN comes what you bombard your brain with
That’s the “content” part, the teachers part, the KNOWLEDGE part, the techniques part
In truth, this first part already covers most of what is pitched as success coaching — but in truth it’s elementary
You just optimise your body and mind, and you learn fundamentals of problem solving and effectiveness
Now, on this promising soil — you can download all the knowledge in the world
and then…
THEN you can look to apply it
*Let me just repeat again — this is no excuse for not taking action towards your goals.
But the more fundamental your problems are the more should you dedicate to solving them first
Get this handled and you are ready to ride
