I suck at business.
But in like video games, you know, if you pick up the controller and you go and you fall into a pit, you're not like, oh, I'm bad at video games and I don't want to do this.
This sucks.
Immediately you're like, oh shoot, I want to try this again.
Like, what did I learn?
I'm gonna go a little faster.
I'm gonna jump a little earlier, right?
You're excited because you're not, you don't view it, you're not viewing the failure as internally and you're focused on,
you know, rescuing princess from Bowser.
You're focusing on the end goal.
And so if you can treat your life challenges and failure like that, kind of gamify it, it's a framework that really works.
And I feel like this is my approach for the videos we do, like this Ronaldo one or really any one that I've attempted.
We did another one of a dartboard.
Same thing that moves, tracks the dart.
Although in that one, if you give the dart to your buddy, then it can register that it's his dart and then the board moves
moves the opposite way.
So instead of getting a bullseye, he can't even hit the board.
And there again, tons of failures, but it wasn't like, I suck at this.
It's like, okay, I know one more way not to do this.
It stings.
