You don’t get handed the best version of yourself.
You have to build him.
Brick by brick.
Through discomfort.
Through failure.
Through discipline.
One day, you’ll look in the mirror and see a man you built.
Not one you settled for.
A question to ask yourself:
If you had to give a 10 minute speech on a topic of your choice, what would you talk about?
This question will help you discover what your area of expertise is.
If you don't have one - get developing one.
It is easier to strategise than it is to execute, because strategising is safe and has no risk.
It doesn’t have to face reality.
We need to stop being hesitant in execution, and engage in what makes us uncomfortable.
How do you elevate small talk?
Skip the usual "What do you do?" and "How are you?"
They are low effort questions and often lead to forgettable conversations.
If you ask dull questions, you'll get dull answers.
You need to be conversationally bold.
Be willing to break the social script.
