I am joined by Srini Rao, a storyteller and host of the Unmistakable Creative podcast, where he has learned from the most creative people alive. He`s the bestselling author of multiple books on reclaiming your creativity, and that`s exactly what we`ll talk about today: How to pursue your own definition of success and make your childhood dreams come true in adulthood.
Max Out Insights:
You can only control your behaviour and your effort.
Passion follows engagement.
Diversity of ideas is a key aspect of providing unique content and not only “echoing” your surroundings.
Anyone can learn and acquire new skills, but you have to balance with the probability of succeeding.
You want the heart of an artist with the mind of a business owner.
It’s a lot easier to stay motivated by measuring the way you’re progressing towards a goal by your behaviour and how far you’ve come and done.
You need systems to make ideas happen.
Creativity comes from creating.
It comes down to: - “Is it meaningful for you?”
Max Out Quotes:
“Get clear on the reasons why you’re doing something.”
“Try before you commit.”
“If you’re not offending someone, you’re doing something wrong.”
“Focus on your behaviour more than the outcome.”
“Even if you accomplish some big goal, you can never rest on your morals. If you stop doing the thing that got you where you’re at, you’re done.”
“Learn how to filter for relevance and for relevance to you.”
“There’s no point to consuming all this knowledge and not doing anything with it.”
