Niemand weiß wirklich, was er tut

0:00Having a clue is overrated. There's this funny myth that people actually know what they're doing. I've spent time around some of the richest, smartest, highest status people on the planet, and let me tell you, it's idiots all the way up. Normalize saying, "I don't have a clue. I'm going to work out how to do it anyway. Having a clue is overrated." One of my green flags for intellect is someone being able to say that they don't know.

0:28Like it's almost inverted at this point cuz I think at some point during school if a teacher calls on you and you say you don't know, you're punished for that. And so, we have such a repetitive cycle of both having it happen to us and watching people like us have a punishing experience that it's very very hardcore taught to us to never say that we don't know.

0:50But that most basic lie trains us over and over again to never say what we actually think. And if we don't know, then that may be one of the easiest ways to start telling the truth. It's kind of the same as the if I can't trust you on no, I can't trust you on yes.

1:14>> it. Yeah. It's the exact same energy. Not knowing is really powerful because then learning becomes the only clear directive. And so, if we know what learning is, which is same condition to behavior, then it's like what do I need to change about what I do in order to learn this thing? It also allows us to say many things are not worth learning because they probably won't affect my life in any way.

1:43Well, think how much you pity the person who it is literally the worst. If you imagine a quadrant of knowing and not knowing and thinking you know and thinking you don't know, the worst quadrant to be in is thinking you know whilst not knowing. Right? And that is every single person who isn't prepared to say I don't know. Yeah. And internally doesn't believe it. I've already got the answer for that. You know, they they they are unable to transition across into white belt or beginner mentality. They're always in there, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I I I know about that. I know about that."

2:16I think Mark Twain said, "It's not the things we know that kill us, but the things that just that we think we know but just ain't so." Real quick, if you are a business owner and you are not growing as fast as you'd like, I'd like to give you a free gift. So, my team and I put together the $100 million scaling road map, which is basically 200 hours of us looking over all the portfolio companies we've had and what stages of growth they went through and more importantly where they got stuck and how they got past it. And so, we broke it into these 10 stages and we made this little kind of quiz thing where if you put in your business information, it'll tell you where you're at and the most important part for you, what to do for each of

2:55>> functions of the business across product, marketing, sales, customer success, recruiting, IT, human resources, and finance. And so, no matter what you're struggling with, someone else has already struggled with it and solved it. And so, I'd like to give you this thing absolutely free. You can go to acquisition.com/roadmap, plug in your business information, and if you want us to actually help you deconstruct the business and you're trying to scale, we'd love to help you out. On the thank you page, you can just book a call with my team and we will look at the business, see if we can help, and if we can, we'll invite you out to Vegas and we'll do this in person live.
