What Makes Someone Truly Exceptional

0:00I was trying to think about like how do you quantify X factor because there's for sure a thing like what gives someone like that juniqua right um I know I'm full of it today um [laughter] and uh I actually think that it's depth across multiple domains do not typically sit together so it's like if we think about like Joe Rogan as an example politics aside like why why does he amass so much interest right because he's interesting so like he has some X factor he's super deep in MMA. He's also an exceptional comedian.

0:32He also really deep in like biohacking and, you know, health and all of that jazz. Really likes space and aliens. Uh, and then now also has his political stuff that he's into, but he's really deep in all of them. And so I think that like if you have somebody who like most people take their personalities off the shelf, right? They're like, "Oh, I'm going to wear flannels and trucker hats and, you know, drink some sort of brewed beer and I will probably have conservative values and this is going to be my playbook for life." When you meet that guy in 5 seconds, you're like, I get it. Not very interesting. It's a pattern match. It's like, oh, this guy can't like he bought his personality off the shelf. He didn't want to think about for himself and so he just everything.

1:22Now, if that same guy all of a sudden was like super like progay rights, just throwing it out there, not to be political, but I'm just saying like that would be not you wouldn't have expected that. And then if that guy has some sort of like philosophical slant that shows a lot of depth of thinking that you wouldn't have expected, you're like, "Huh, I didn't expect that." And so all of a sudden your brain goes, "Huh, this does not match the pattern that I expected. I was not able to predict this." And then as a result, I have to pay attention to update my schema of how the world works or at least how this individual works. And so in thinking about that, it's the number of of skills that you can demonstrate depth within that don't typically go together. And I think that that tends to be an indication of somebody who's high agency. So they're able to make up their mind on their own independently. And when you do end up thinking for yourself, you end up being very unique because you're not, oh, I'm a Republican and they have these list of things that they believe in, or I'm a Democrat and I have these list of things I believe in, or I'm a country guy, or I'm a musician, or I'm a whatever, and I will then follow all of these other things. It's the huh, it's the guy who's Well, I'll just I'll I'll just leave it there. You get the idea. I'll stop.

2:35>> Great. Thank you. Real quick, I'm going to show you the exact 10-stage road map 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 headcount 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.

3:01And we've done this across software, physical products, uh, service businesses, brickandmortar, all of this. And it works. And it's my gift to you. It's absolutely free.
