In this episode Fredrik, Ivan and Charlie are together and discussing the importance and power of obsession in realising your goals and aspirations. They share their own obsessions and how they are focusing on achieving positive results.
If you want to understand more about the role and power of obsession when you are learning new things and on the journey of self-improvement then listen in now.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Being obsessed can be great if you are obsessed with the right things. If you are obsessed you can develop positive habits, and this can be a productive part of your life.
If, like Ivan, you are obsessed with training to achieve a goal you will have focus and achieve positive results.
Being obsessed can make you push yourself to learn new things and reach new heights. If your obsession is video and parkour, like Charlie, then you can learn and improve your skills and techniques
Over the past few years Fredrik has had several interests that he has focused on and in recent years an obsession to achieve successful outcomes in property has helped him reach results that are, in many cases, significantly more than others achieve.
What’s the opposite of obsessed? It's that weak lethargic guy who only does enough to survive. He hasn’t gone the extra mile or tried to do anything to improve himself. Is that who you want to be?
We all have the choice to flick the switch and go ‘full on’ or to not touch the switch at all. People who are obsessed have made a positive choice to really improve.
Obsession is about pushing through and doing a lot more than is normal.
Whatever you choose to do in your life it’s important that in your chosen space you strive to be extraordinary.
You need to know what your destination is with specific goals and a detailed plan to achieve success. Even if you don’t achieve your goals you will have improved and have started on the journey.
If you set high goals you will push yourself harder to reach them and move more rapidly.
You know you are truly obsessed when no one is watching, and you are still doing the work. Others may see an obsession at its peak, but there will have been many years of training to reach that point
