Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
Episode Highlights:
The Process is the Shortcut
Don't go for the quick fix and just throw money at the solution. Give it another think and then go. Look for a get-around that isn't necessarily the easy route.
If everybody's looking for the shortcut or the easy button, maybe it works at first, but then flops or doesn't work at all. And you end up taking 20 shortcuts in 20 years. Whereas if you just stuck to the process, you would have been done in five years instead of 20. And so, the process is the shortcut.
Action creates clarity and the work begets the work. Once you start taking action, things become clearer. You start to see the path and what you need to go down.
Going Beyond Being a Mediocre
When we hit these hurdles, whether investing some money or time or putting in the work on something, this is where mediocre people stop. But if you push through, sacrifice, and make investments, you're pushing yourself beyond mediocre and becoming the best version of yourself.
Making the investment and sacrifice puts you in the position to do the next thing and it gets your foot on the next step to take those next things. The real multiplier power comes from getting in the right energy and frequencies and then taking action in that direction. Then it multiplies out and it brings back what you're trying to attract.
And once you hit the wall, recognize where your energy is best spent and know when it's time to walk away from what isn't working.
The Power of Testing Your Ideas
Whichever way you do it, put your stuff out there and get feedback. When using social media, for instance, you can do online quizzes, polls, and other ways to get that feedback. It's not the same as being on stage and having people's faces in front of you, but it is a way to test your ideas, put things out into the world, and see what the reactions are so that you can iterate and make adjustments.
