Ein mittelmäßiger Plan schlägt einen perfekten

0:00the money isn't made in the buy and it's not made in the sell, it's made in the wait. And that that like I just feel like that's such an elegant way of thinking about it is like the hard part about the plan is sticking to the plan. Like the plan wasn't bad. Your first plan was good because it's easy to go say I'm going to work out three days a week for the next year. >> And it's a good plan. >> It's a pretty good plan. And the interesting thing is that like a mediocre plan that's stuck to always outperforms an amazing and perfect plan that you never stick with to begin with.

0:31And I know this obviously from the f fitness world, but applies to everything. And so like the stick to it muscle is the one that you have to flex. And that's why like if you're going through things, you have especially in the earlier days like I remember I used to start and stop and start and stop and I try this thing, I try that thing. It's normal because you haven't you haven't been reinforced enough of sticking with something, right? But the thing is is like you have to stick it out long enough that you get that first carrot, you get that first cookie, and then all of a sudden everything that you did to get there, you're like, "Oh, more of that will get me more cookies." And that's and and then and then it just becomes this self-perpetuating cycle, and then you get addicted to working.

1:05>> Yes. [laughter] And and and and then you do a launch to 500,000 people, and you lock yourself in a closet 6 hours a day for two years. >> Yeah. That's exactly that because I've been rewarded in the past because the first time I actually spent a lot of time on a presentation and I felt good when I walked on stage and didn't feel anxiety. I was like, "Oh, I want this every time." >> Yeah. >> And then I had this the second thought which is the much scarier thought which is now I have to do this every time. >> This is the new bar.

1:30>> This is the new bar. I want to round out something on that sort of black pill side, which is if you listen to this and you think must be nice or easy for you to say, I get it. Like I I get it. And if you feel like there is something that you can't get over, some genetic societal cultural defect that means that you do not have the same ceiling that you think that you should or that other people appear to have. I get it. And the question I would ask is what do you want? Like do you want sympathy? Because I will happily give you sympathy. I know what it feels like to be someone that has no belief in themselves and that believes that you are fundamentally a loser and that nothing is going to come to you and that you deserve for nothing to come to you. I understand what that feels like. But what does that mindset get you? Like fundamentally, what does that mindset give you? Okay, so let's say let's say that you have been dealt as difficult of a hand as possible.

2:33And >> yeah, >> and to quote you to you, I can promise you that there is someone who has had it worse and has done it better. I put this clip out a while ago, this like just random talking about a morning routine thing. It was pretty basic, but it went [ __ ] Interstellar and the real internet got a hold of it, you know, like not your fans, but like the real internet, like the general public internet got a hold of it. The most common comment was something along the lines of tell me you don't have kids without telling me that you don't have kids which is must be easy for you to say I have a daughter to get in the get up in the morning. I'm like okay tell me what that mindset gets you genuinely tell me what that mindset gets you. It says I am in a situation which I cannot get over and there are things in reality imposed on me which stop me from doing something. There is somebody out there who has three times as many kids as you and they still do it. So what is it that they've got? Like what is it that they're doing? Have they got an unfair advantage? What is it? Tell me.
