0:00Uh Trent Tour, how do you overcome the feeling of hopelessness? Really good question, man. Um I have felt hopeless at different times in my career. The thing that got me through that um was two very different things. So, one was a very deep conviction that as long as I continued focusing only on the task in front of me and functionally distracted myself with the work that as long as I did not stop, I would eventually get through it. So, that was a belief that I had as a worldview that I had.
0:31The second thing with hopelessness is understanding where it comes from. And so, hopelessness is a perceived lack of options. It means you don't know what to do. And so, if you don't know what to do, then you have to solve that first, which then gives you something to do. And if you are in that space, if you don't know what to do, you need to build capacity. And so, capacity, you have physical capacity, which means like go to sleep earlier, get more sleep. Uh it means working out so you can get in shape. It means saving money so you can get off offensive. It means making content so you can build an audience. It's doing all the steps beforehand so you can prepare the way for when opportunities come. And so, the people who are able to maximize opportunities are the ones who are prepared for those opportunities.
1:12And so, there's never like there's no reason to not know what to do because whenever you don't know what to do, what you do is you build capacity. You basically dig the well before you're thirsty. And so, if you're not sure, then get digging.
