Again, if you can picture like dual universes, picture being stuck in that place where your head is down and you're just trapped in today. Yes, today's problem seems like the biggest problem on the planet. Now let's go to the other alternate universe where you're seeing everything 10 and 20, 30 years out. Today's problem is literally a speck on that time horizon.

And so there's something that my business mentor taught me 30 years ago, it's been so profound and I've taught it so many times. And he talks about a 10 year business cycle. And he says in a 10 year business cycle, this is what typically happens for us as entrepreneurs. We have two great years, two terrible years, And six pretty good years.

And so the point is, if you can zoom out and realize that when you're going through those two really tough years, you feel like it's game over. You're getting your ass kicked. You're getting killed. Well, you can zoom out of that. Me now having lived that three decades at least. When you're in that, like when COVID hit as an example, in other words, it's just a blip when you're able to zoom out.

But when we were in that, it was sheer hell. But just as quickly when you're in the two great years, it doesn't last forever. And so you just have to stay sharp because the second you think you've got it figured out, the universe is going to kick you in the ass and introduce you to the two tough years.

The other thing that happens is when you shift to 10 year thinking, all of a sudden, when you start to have a sense of what life looks like you from a 10 year time frame, it doesn't have to be entirely specific, but relationships, business, finance. Let's use your five categories. You should have a relatively pretty good idea for what that looks like. And let's go outside of business for a second.

But if you intend to be in a healthy, loving relationship with your significant other 10 years from now, each one of these clarity moments directs today's activity. And so if you want to be in a long term relationship, that thing you're about to say to your significant other today, you're going to think about it. But my point in that is all of a sudden now you're making 10-year decisions today.

Every decision, how much money you're saving, decisions for your business, personal relationships, health, that thing you're about to put in your mouth. In other words, you will make better decisions today. They will be 10-year decisions if you shift to that thinking, which is why you get there faster. Because again, with that short-term thinking, you're just making a bunch of short-term decisions.
