Warum Alex Beziehungen bei Red Flags sofort beendet

0:00Learning isn't a spectator sport. It comes from doing. Which means if you're not doing the stuff you consume every day, you're not learning. You're just procrastinating. Oo, this is fun. All right. So, I'm going to define some terms. Learning. Let me say this way. Intelligence means rate of learning. Like that's what that's how remember I talk about operationalizing words. So rate of learning is intelligence. So then you which means it's a rate not a not an attribute as an aside which then means you have to define learning.

0:34Learning means same condition new behavior. So if I hold up a red card and then I slap you and then I hold a red card again and then you duck you've learned. If you wake up every day and life shows you a red card and then you don't duck and you don't change, then you have learned nothing. And so if you go to a weekend and you go to a workshop and then the next day you go back and you do the exact same activities in the same conditions and you have no new behavior, it means you learned nothing.

1:03It also means you're stupid because it means your rate of learning is slow. So if someone is intelligent, I can show them the red card and on the first go they change their behavior. And so by defining intelligence that way and defining learning that way, it allowed me to start thinking, well, I want to be smart and this circumstance had this outcome last time. And so the next time I see this circumstance, this red card, I'm going to change my behavior. And so when we consume the information that you have on this podcast or whatever it is, there's probably a circumstance, whether it's a conversation that you're supposed to have but you aren't having, it's a decision that you need to make but you're putting off. That's the red card.

1:42It comes up again. And the question is whether you're going to get slapped or you're going to duck. And that's whether you know whether you learned or not. And every time you get shown the red card and you do the same exact thing, you just prove to yourself that your rate of learning is slower. And so for me, I want to have that evidence that I learn quickly. And for me, that's why like people see me as ruthless, as you said, because I'm willing to cut relationships because if I think that I'm going to eventually cut the relationship, then why would I not cut it today? because I might as might as well start enjoying the benefits of cutting that relationship as soon as humanly possible.

2:15>> 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 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 the 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.
