Key Takeaways

1

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.

2

Embrace 'lead bullets'—the difficult, manual work like brute-force customer onboarding—rather than wasting time searching for 'silver bullet' shortcuts that rarely exist.

3

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.
