0:00Your level of subjective well-being doesn't change a dramatic amount throughout your life. A lot of it is inherited. Right? Like your your demeanor, your disposition. And I'll give you a a simple example that makes people uncomfortable. So, think about how how were dogs created? Right? So, there were wolves, right? And then there were some wolves that were a little nicer than the other wolves. And they were like, "Let's breed the nice wolves." And then nicer wolves breeding nicer wolves breeding nicer wolves, eventually you get a labradoodle. Okay?
0:29Taken enough times. And so, people don't like to think about humans in that same way. But like fundamentally, if you've got breeding they tend to make more And if you've got nice guys and nice gals, they tend to make more nice people. Of course, there's genetic variety that happens there, but over time that does happen. And so, that also happens with happy people and unhappy people, believe it or not. And so, a lot of that like of course, you operate within your genetic potential. Of course, like you can move things. Like you can have genetics for muscle and never work out and you're not going to have the same level of muscle, right? Period. And so, you might have genetics for more happiness or genetics for less happiness, sure. And you want to maximize those things. But I only bring this up to say, we have this idea that we're going to like I'll do this thing and then I will be happy. I will do this thing and then all my problems will be solved. But our brains are only meant and evolved to keep us alive and most of that is about finding problems and potential threats within our environment, which tend to keep us stressed out and unhappy.
1:30And that core unhappiness, that core anxiety, tends to move humans forward because we continue to innovate, we continue to try to solve problems because we all think that when we solve that problem, we're going to be happier. And we're not, but we do move civilization forward. And so, I bring all of this up to say that the downside of your bets are not as bad as you think they are. And the upside of you making it all work is also not as good as you think it is. And so, it's really what do we want to do with our time?
1:56Real quick, I'm going to show you the exact 10-stage roadmap from zero to 100 million plus that less than 1% of companies finish I've now done multiple times. And so, I can say with a lot of confidence that these are the stages as head count increases that you need to get through and I broke each of these down by eight different functions of the business, what the constraint feels like, like what are the symptoms of it when you're going through it, and then what steps we actually took to graduate. And we've done this across software, physical products, uh service businesses, brick and mortar, all of this and it works. And it's my gift to you, it's absolutely free.
