1. 0:00You can try way harder than you think
2. 0:01you can.
3. 0:02And most people aren't trying at all.
4. 0:05>> I'll give a tactical thing that has
5. 0:07helped for trying. And I like this is
6. 0:09actually one of those more Rocky
7. 0:10cutscene type things.
8. 0:11But
9. 0:13when you
10. 0:15work, and you actually are working,
11. 0:17you're writing the emails that you need
12. 0:18to write, you're you're you're preparing
13. 0:19for the podcast, you're doing that that
14. 0:21work that you know is not short work.
15. 0:23It's this is going to take me 2 hours,
16. 0:25it's going to take me 4 hours.
17. 0:27When you get to the end of that, and
18. 0:28you're like, man,
19. 0:30I'm kicked. You know, I'm this I you
20. 0:32know, I I earned my shower today.
21. 0:35I think the difference is that at that
22. 0:37point, you go, you grab a bottle of
23. 0:39water, and then you look at your to-do
24. 0:41list at the next large thing and say,
25. 0:43great.
26. 0:44Let's start on this. And I think people
27. 0:47who don't witness that happen, they
28. 0:49don't see 4 hours, and this is what
29. 0:51working side by side with someone can
30. 0:52do. I remember when I we just have a we
31. 0:54have a new uh director of marketing.
32. 0:56Uh in his first week, uh we needed to we
33. 0:59needed to write some massive amount of
34. 1:01stuff. And uh
35. 1:03he was like, okay, so we have to do
36. 1:04this. And I was like, great. Pull up a
37. 1:06document, let's go. And he was like, oh,
38. 1:08like now? And I was like, you got
39. 1:09something else to do? And he was like,
40. 1:11oh, I mean, I I no, okay, yeah, let's
41. 1:12let's do it now. And then we shared
42. 1:14screen for 8 hours.
43. 1:16Uh and then we finished it. And he was
44. 1:18like, oh, wow. I was like, great, what's
45. 1:19the next thing? And he was like,
46. 1:22oh, yeah, uh we we have this other thing
47. 1:24I guess we can do to And it was And I
48. 1:26could see his like perception on on the
49. 1:30level of work shifting in real time. And
50. 1:33so, if you have the opportunity to work
51. 1:35with anyone that is exceptional at
52. 1:37anything,
53. 1:40especially in that sub-30 crowd, for the
54. 1:42love of God,
55. 1:44move across the country,
56. 1:46live in live in a tiny apartment, live
57. 1:49far below your means, work for free if
58. 1:52you have to, because the skill that you
59. 1:53will get from learning the unlearnable
60. 1:55or the difficult to learn lessons, cuz I
61. 1:59it is pithier to say unlearning, but
62. 2:00like it's harder to learn these lessons.
63. 2:02If you can get in proximity, you will
64. 2:03learn so much so much faster. Like if
65. 2:06you want to time warp yourself, you can
66. 2:08try and observe the little bits and
67. 2:10nuggets and crumbs from videos,
68. 2:12podcasts, things like this, cuz all
69. 2:13we're doing is trying to describe
70. 2:15scenarios.
71. 2:16But when you live them, it completely
72. 2:19changes you forever. Like if you want to
73. 2:20win, Angela Duckworth talked about this,
74. 2:22the number one most consistent way to
75. 2:24become a champion is join a team of
76. 2:26champions.
77. 2:27Real quick, I'm going to show you the
78. 2:28exact 10-stage roadmap from zero to 100
79. 2:31million plus
80. 2:32that less than 1% of companies finish,
81. 2:34I've now done multiple times, and so I
82. 2:36can say with a lot of confidence that
83. 2:37these are the stages as head count
84. 2:39increases that you need to get through.
85. 2:41And I broke each of these down by eight
86. 2:43different functions of the business,
87. 2:45what the constraint feels like, like
88. 2:46what are the symptoms of it when you're
89. 2:48going through it, and then what steps we
90. 2:49actually took to graduate. We've done
91. 2:51this across software, physical products,
92. 2:53uh service businesses, brick and mortar,
93. 2:56all of this, and it works. And it's my
