You might feel like stopping. Keep going anyway.
None of us chooses how we start this life, but we have a massive role in how we finish. Winners who come from behind are winners nonetheless.
It’s not necessarily about being the most talented or the most capable, it’s persistence. It’s about tapping into indefatigable self-belief, the knowledge that you can and will do more, and becoming relentless in the pursuit of your goals.
Decide what you want this week, and do not stop.
Not a paid subscriber? Here’s what you missed last month:
Sharpen Your Axe: If you want to be the best, don’t let the basics fall by the wayside. Use these to sharpen your skillset and push yourself forward.
The Rooms You Belong In: Don’t get stuck in the mindsets of your past. If you don’t feel like you belong, don’t skip this work.
16 Hours, 16 Bets: Optimal Decision-Making: Decision fatigue is brutal, but sharp prioritization can transform your life - and make it easier for you to go all-in on the things that really push the needle forward.
The Power of Internal Positioning: Use It All: We often shy away from so-called “negative” emotions like anger, but - done correctly - you can leverage these emotions into powerful energy.
1. Compartmentalization can be a great skill to develop, but it’s rarely as air-tight as people think. The best way to stop things from bleeding through is to deal with them before they get the chance.
2. Strategic self-control is a separator. You can’t move fast if you’re overloaded - do what you can to offload, delegate, cut…then lock in on the things that matter most.
3. You can’t make it to the top without a powerful internal drive.
4. Beliefs are a reinforcing cycle - if you believe you’re not smart enough to do X, you’re probably not going to do it. Make sure your beliefs are *serving* you, and watch yourself rise.
5. People who have never done what you’re doing likely won’t understand it - that’s okay. Keep going anyway.
6. Victory translates. If you want to create greater resiliency, you’ve got to win outside of work.
