0:00If you do nothing, people will criticize you. If you do something, people will criticize you. So, criticism is a fixed cost. Period. [laughter] Number two, it takes about 20 hours to become proficient in just about anything. You want to play guitar, like proficient in just about anything. It just takes people 10 years to get the first 20 hours. And that's a huge a huge issue. The third is that when you're thinking about feedback is one, not all feedback is created equal. You don't want to listen to the people who are closest to you. You want to listen to the people who are closest to your goals.
0:31>> And so listen to the people who are already at your goals, who already have achieved those goals and listen to their feedback. Because I'll say, for example, for me, like if I if I I mean, I rarely do, but if I post anything of me at the gym, the only people who comment are people who are smaller than me. [laughter] No guy who is bigger than me ever has talked [ __ ] about, you know, about my, you know, my fitness stuff. Um, and so to the same degree, anybody who's an entrep who's a real entrepreneur is going to be like, "Hell yeah, man. You got out there. Oh, of course you failed.
0:56I mean obviously you failed but that's okay right everyone falls the first time right from uh from the matrix and so expect failure and I think that if you can play it out the there's a there's a really wonderful frame around this which is the the frame of the veteran which is if you were to imagine whatever bad experience occurs happening a thousand times more in a row how would you feel on the thousandth time and if that's how you're going to feel in the thousandth time with the exact same condition you might as well feel that way today and it's just been a really like a like if you're like man I hate traffic. It's a Google. Let's assume traffic is a constant and it happens for the next thousand days. You'll probably be like, "Well, it's just how it is." Totally,
1:31>> right? And so, this is just how it is. That's the feedback that you're going to get from the videos and it's going to keep happening and it's okay. >> Yeah. Your your point just now of >> the problem is it takes us 10 years to get the first 20 hours >> is so true. I know something that I've >> because people are often like that to me like, "Jay, how do you solve a problem?" I'm like, if I think something's a big problem to solve or a skill to learn, I will cancel every evening plan this week and I will cancel my entire weekend. And all I'm doing this weekend is figuring out that skill. I'll get a coach. I'll commit to the time and I'll be around that community of people. Those are my three practices or things to develop a skill. And then this weekend is dedicated to getting good at X. And it's like if I don't get enough hours in this weekend, the next four weekends are dedicated to that thing. And all of a sudden in a month, I've solved a problem that could have taken me six years. And so I love that piece of advice because I think it's it's the same advice when you give people like, "Hey, just try three things out." And they're like, "Okay, I'll try three things out one a year."
2:32>> And and also when you give it 12 months to try one thing out, you actually never know. Whereas if you did something for a whole day, like I remember when me and my wife were in Hawaii and we both grew up in London. >> We never went surfing or skiing and things like this, right? We're in Hawaii. We try surfing. We do it the whole day. I knew I was never going to be a surfer and it's the last thing I want to do and I don't care at all about surfing. It It looks good, but it is not fun to do. Like I didn't enjoy the process. And I'm like, but if I went like for 30 minutes one day, then I'd be like, "Oh, well maybe I just didn't do it right."
3:06>> [laughter] >> And then you're like, "Okay, I'll go 30 minutes next year. I'll do an hour next year." And so we just keep elongating the kind of failure rate or knowing how quickly something's important or not. >> I think it's getting completely immersed and just soaked in whatever the thing that you're trying to pursue. So I'll tell you a comparable story. So when I was when I had my first business, I I was I've never been a techoriented person. Now I try not to speak that over myself, but like I'm working on it. And so I was like, I have to learn how to build web pages. I hate relying on these IT guys. They're slow. They don't build it the right way. And so this is right as some of the early kind of softwares say come out. And I had put it off. And then I finally said, "Both days this weekend, I'm locking the doors. I'm closing the the frames. I'm turning off my phone." And I just had a simple page.
3:51I said, "I'm just going to copy this page. I just want to see if I can figure it out." And I set two full days aside and I finished it by noon. >> Yeah. >> But I had put it off for weeks. And so most times it's almost like fear is a mile wide and an inch deep. So is ignorance. It's like it's more than you expect but less less than you think. Yeah. Right. You get in and you're like, "Oh, there's only four parts to this. Okay, I think okay, now I you want to wrap your arms around it." And I think that's why having these kind of longer intense sessions where you kind of drink all of it up because if you did multiple 30 minute sessions, for example, it's like it'll take you the first 15 minutes to get back into what did I just learn last time? And then it just it takes very it's very hard to get make progress. And so I'm a I'm a massive advocate of full shutdown days. I mean, drink your coffee, get your good night's sleep, and then put your earplugs in, and then like lock in.
4:35>> Yeah. >> Real quick, if you're 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 roadmap, 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 in 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 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.
5:15free. You can go to acquisition.com/roadmap, plug in your business information, and if you want us to actually help you deconrain 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.
