Du arbeitest nicht hart, du bist nur müde

0:00You can try way harder than you think you can and most people aren't trying at all. >> I'll give a tactical thing that has helped for trying and like this is actually one of those more Rocky cut scene type things. But when you work and you actually are working, you're writing the emails that you need to write. You're you're you're preparing for the podcast. You're doing that that work that you know is not short work. It's this is going to take me two hours. This is going to take me four hours. When you get to the end of that and you're like, "Man, I'm kicked." You know, I'm this, you know, I I earned my shower today.

0:35I think the difference is that at that point, you go, you grab a bottle of water and then you look at your to-do list at the next large thing and say, "Great, let's start on this." And I think people who don't witness that happen, they don't see four hours. And this is what working side by side someone can do. I remember when I we just have we have a new uh director of marketing. uh in his first week uh we needed to we needed to write some massive amount of stuff and um he was like okay so we have to do this and I was like great pull up a document let's go and he was like oh like now and I was like you got something else to do and he was like oh I mean I I no okay yeah let's let's do it now and then we shared screen for 8 hours uh and then we finished it and it was like oh wow I was like great what's the next thing and he was like oh yeah uh we we have this other thing I guess we can do too and it and I could see his like perception on on the level of work shifting in real time. And so if you have the opportunity to work with anyone that is exceptional at anything, especially in that sub30 crowd, for the love of God, move across the country, live in a tiny apartment, live far below your means, work for free if you have to because the skill that you will get from learning the unlearnable or the difficult to learn lessons cuz I it is pathier to say unlearning, but like it's harder to learn these lessons if you you can get in proximity, you will learn so much so much faster. Like if you want to time warp yourself, you can try and observe the little bits and nuggets and crumbs from videos, podcasts, things like this, cuz all we're doing is trying to describe scenarios. But when you live them, it completely changes you forever.

2:20Like if you want to win, Angela Duckworth talked about this, the number one most consistent way to become a champion is join a team of champions. Real quick, I'm going to show you the exact 10-stage roadmap 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.

2:50And 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.
