Key Takeaways
Transition from hard work to smart work by finding tasks that feel like play to you but work to others, ensuring long-term persistence and mastery.
Surround yourself with high-performers by curating a 'five-peer' group and engaging mentors through specific questions followed by massive action and follow-up.
Identify 'fat pitches' with asymmetric upside and apply 'intensity as a strategy' to execute at a level that far exceeds the average competitor.
