Key Takeaways
1
Focus on raising the intensity of your current execution (moving from an 8 to a 9.5) instead of obsessing over the perfect plan or strategy.
2
Practice 'getting a rep' by immediately applying new advice to a specific problem in your life rather than just acknowledging the concept as true.
3
Recognize that most limitations are perceived rather than real; successful people treat barriers like time or money as obstacles to be ignored or bypassed.
