Willingness to do the hard things, extends to you - personally.

Aug 18, 2023

After years of working with incredibly successful people across industries, I’ve started to notice different patterns and themes emerge. One that I see time and again? Those at the top refuse to allow their own natural tendencies or challenges in some areas - things like being a bit less direct, or even a bit introverted - to hold them back in times when the opposite is needed.

They are willing to overcome - to learn how to do what they need to do, to get where they want to be.

People who are on top of their game aren’t afraid to pull the lever on hard things for themselves.…even when it’s an uncomfortable lever to pull.

A reminder: Do something uncomfortable today.

1. Don’t get lost in your to-do list.

2. Thanks to @milanicreative for creating this great illustration based on my interview with The Knowledge Project. You can listen to part one of the interview here.

3. Reframe rejection — it’s not a loss, it’s an opportunity.
