Du musst dich nicht bereit fühlen, um zu gewinnen

0:00Okay, juicy question. How do you properly harness resentment and jealousy? >> Uh um So, even even just as a side note, so the even using the word harness, right? Um it becomes this like this thing like I'm harnessing this. The only thing that matters is what you do, period. And so, why you do it, one, you have no idea why you do what you do, um just that you do it. And so, fundamentally it's just like whatever reason you need to give yourself to increase the likelihood that you take the actions that are required to get to where you want to go is it. That's all.

0:38Like if it's because of jealousy, if it's because of rage, it's because of depression, it's because of whatever it is, it's like it doesn't really matter what your [snorts] reason is as long as you do the stuff that's required to win. And I remember when I had that big realization much earlier in my career cuz I I struggled a lot with like feeling like I didn't deserve stuff. And I'll explain what I mean like I was like I always felt like I just like like wasn't good enough. And so, realizing that like I could be not good enough but still do the stuff required to get the outcome was like, "Okay, so I can still not be good enough but I can still get it if I just do the stuff." And that was like a huge breakthrough for me. So, I don't know if anyone's in that in that position, it might sound silly now but there's a clip of of mine that went viral like three years ago at the Video Growth Summit.

1:24>> Yeah. >> It was like the three traits of hyper-successful people is that they have super grandiose visions like it's inflated superiority complexes so they think they're better than everyone. >> Yeah. >> But they also have like crippling insecurities so they also feel like they're never going to be good enough. >> Mhm. >> And they have impulse control. So, it's like they can stay focused for extended periods of time. And I think that like I think that when I started out um I I had I had I I had not the the grandiose or more like this could happen for me.

1:57More just like I didn't think I was good enough, but just realizing like I had a couple wins just from doing stuff and I was like, "Okay, so I can actually get away with this." Like I felt like I was getting away with something. I was like, "Oh, I can just take action, not be good enough, and still get it." And that was actually super freeing for me. So, yeah. >> Some good [ __ ] right there, guys. Think about that one. >> Layla loves the the the per- Layla loves the personal development stuff. >> At some point >> No, you do. No, like you're I mean, Layla is is is worked on herself more than anyone I've ever met.

2:28She's great at it. She's a great human. She's a better human than I am. >> [snorts] >> You are. >> I agree. >> [laughter] >> 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 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. 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 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.
