Key Takeaways
Implement a 'singular priority' rule where you and your team focus on only one core objective at a time, ignoring all other 'good' ideas that lead to mediocrity.
Embrace 'lead bullets'—the difficult, manual work like brute-force customer onboarding—rather than wasting time searching for 'silver bullet' shortcuts that rarely exist.
Audit your current effort by defining what 'Level 12 Intensity' would look like for your business, recognizing that most people operate at a level six while believing they are at a ten.
