@erin_heckler Have fun! Glad you’re mentoring Pierre!

If you’re asked, “What’s your biggest weakness” in a job interview, just be honest and say carbs.

This deep focus writing schedule:

M: 3 hours
T: 3 hours
W: 3 hours
Th: 3 hours
F: 3 hours

Is more hours than:

M: 0 hours
T: 0 hours
W: 0 hours
Th: 7 hours
F: 7 hours

The second requires two Herculean efforts, the first requires none. Consistency compiles to huge numbers.

A batter who averages 4 hits every 20 at-bats is out of a job.

One who averages 5/20 is mediocre.

6/20, an all-star.

7/20, the league MVP.

There's probably some area of your life you're going 4/20 and feel hopeless. But upping your game just a little might change everything.

We’ve all sat in a meeting or conference with a question on our mind and then questioned whether we should ask it! If we #ask, “will I be judged for it?” or “is it going to be clear?” thoughts might cause one not to ask.
