Because it will take me five to seven years to be exceptional at this one thing.

I am okay being a beacon of relentless hard work.

And that's the never-ending cycle of excellence.

Oh, I just have to figure out what to do.

When I wake up every day, there's only one voice I have to listen to.

And so then it's like,

Just do it for me.

Yeah, we need to be reminded more than we need to be taught.

It's one of my favorites.

There have been so many times in my life where I knew I needed to do something and then I filled all this extra time not doing that thing.

And then the moment I did it, I was like, wow, that took way less time than I thought it was going to take.

And not only that, it took way less time than it took me to delay to actually get to this point.

And if I had only started with just doing what I was supposed to do, I could have done four or five other things that I was also supposed to do by this exact same point.

Waking up and then trying to shrink the time between when I wake up and when I start working and shrinking the time between one task and the next task.

Like you don't need to take 30 minutes of getting ready to start working.

Like you can just start working because as soon as you get into it, you start pulling the thread and you're like, oh, here it is.

And all of the time that I was getting ready to work, I was just using up my best brainpower time on things that truly don't move the needle at all.

The vast majority of business owners work a fair amount.

They just work on the wrong stuff and they do it the wrong way.

And so they get so little for their effort that they wonder when they're at home, empty handed in bed.
