What are the five pillars of success?
What I want to do is show you how to win and impress the only person that really matters, which is future you. Not the person next to you, not the person in front of you, not the person on stage, not your mom. Future you. The point of this presentation is to give you a different way to think about this process so that you can make it easier to win. And the nice thing is, is that the process I'm going to show you is how you can win at anything. And it works for winning at health, relationships, advertising, sales, real estate, business, investing, and anything else where you have to do things to get stuff.
How can you simplify complex tasks?
Cool? Awesome. All right. So with that being said, let's begin. How to win. So I'm going to cover five things. What to do. How to do it. Why to do it. Who you need to become to do it.
What is the relationship between learning, intelligence, and confidence?
And finally, when to start. So let's start with number one. Said simply, what do you need to do to win, aka impress the future version of you? And the reason I define winning this way is that for those of you guys who are at the top, and you guys know who you are, you can't compare yourself to everyone that you're already better than. And I say that from a success, like objective measurement perspective, not as a human being.
How do external and internal conditions affect success?
Everyone's a wonderful snowflake. But... You can't compare yourself to people that you're beating, because you'll just get complacent.
What role does downtime play in unlocking potential?
You know that, for those of you guys who are the winners here. For those of you guys not at the top, or who are on the climb, you can only control what you can control, and you only know what that is.
Why is persistence more important than talent?
And so there might be advantages or disadvantages that you might have been born with. It also doesn't matter. No one cares.
How can changing your environment change your life?
The only people who like excuses are the ones giving them, right? And so let's start with an activity to prove to you that you already know what not to do. So this is a process I call inversion, and I use this a hilarious amount, probably too much. And so this, I think at least I will attribute this to Albert Einstein. Charlie Munger talks about it a lot. Invert, always invert when you have a tough problem.
When is the best time to start working towards your goals?
And so I use this and we use this as a very strong tool because it's easier for our brains to find problems than solutions. So we had to think earlier just now like, let's think of things for gratitude. Did anyone for a split second be like, fuck? Right? Anyone else do that? Because I heard it backstage and I was like, right, you're about to be on stage. You can be grateful for that, right? I was just thinking about that. But if I said, hey, can you think of a problem? I could be like, I can give you 20 right now, right? Right off the top of my head. It's like my knee kind of hurts a little bit, right? I can start giving you problems really easily. But that's because we're programmed to survive, not thrive, right?
Our brains are programmed to find threats to make sure we live to see another day, not so that we enjoy today, right? And so we actually have much stronger problem-finding skills than solution-finding. And so what I want to do is use our anxiety-driven, threat-finding brain for something good. And so here's the activity. I want you to imagine the least successful version of you. Loser. What does that person do or not do to guarantee that you won't win? How do they guarantee that you lose? All right. So shout some of these out. Just like what does that person do to lose? Netflix. Okay. I heard that one. Drugs. Okay. We're going way deeper and darker than I was thinking. It's like a heroin addiction. I'm like, okay.
Yes. Understood. Okay. I thought you guys were gonna say something like this.
Be impatient, show up late, be unprepared, not confident, heroin, we can throw that up there. being transactional rather than relational with your clients and customers. Don't follow up. Someone's like, hey, I've been thinking about selling my house, and you're like, awesome, and then you just never call them. I've got a friend who might be interested in your services, and you're like, that's a damn shame. Don't advertise, don't ask for referrals, right?
