Unlocking Success: How Relaxing Can Catapult You Ahead
🏁So you've put in effort, achieved something... What's next? Strain even harder to achieve even more? Contrary to common belief, this is a dead end.
Because there are only 24 hours in a day, and your energy is not infinite. With this approach, you'll hit a ceiling very soon. Unless you burn out before that :-(
That's why the next step is completely counterintuitive. You need to make an effort to relax ;-) But in the right way — so that you can continue to achieve the same result with significantly less force.
By optimizing, hiring, delegating, getting rid of less important things — by all means.
And when you've learned to spend much less time achieving the same result, you start to tense up again to grow this result.
And this result will grow at least several times — as much as you've learned to use less force. So that you could use this reserve to achieve a new result.
And this is "at least" because in reality you'll grow even more — because you've already learned to optimize, hire, delegate, and get rid of less important things.
🔄As soon as you reach a new result, you need to learn to relax again — but at a new level. So that you can then start to tense up again and grow several times over. And so on in a circle🔄
That's why the ceiling of your growth is determined not by the reserve of your strength, but by the ratio between the size of the result and the amount of effort spent to achieve it. The higher the ratio, the further the ceiling is pushed back.
In short, the size of the result depends not on the ability to tense up, but on the ability to relax 🌴
🔑 It's All Simpler Than You Think 🔑
1️⃣ In the morning, I worked in a crowded café. Right next door, there was another café with food of the same quality, at the same prices, and even a similar menu. Yet, it stands empty every day at this time.
2️⃣ Currently, I'm writing this post in an empty fish restaurant. Right next door, there's another fish restaurant with the same fish and seafood at the same prices. But it's full every day at this time.
3️⃣ One of the two establishments located in the same place is making money, while the other isn't. And the one that's making money - it's not unique in any way.
4️⃣ And this always happens, everywhere. Not just with restaurants. To earn and outshine competitors, product uniqueness isn't necessary. The essence lies outside of it. For instance, in how to make one of the many establishments trendy.
5️⃣ Seeking "uniqueness" in this case is like looking for a street where there isn't a single café or restaurant yet. Or inventing an elaborate restaurant concept that people might visit "just to try" - but they're unlikely to go regularly, because people love familiar things.
6️⃣ You could spend a lot of time searching for such a street or inventing elaborate concepts. Or you could open a city café or a fish restaurant - and do something that will make people come to you, not to others.
7️⃣ Google, Facebook, Instagram, or Google weren't unique either. After all, before them, there were at least Altavista, Friendster, and Hipstamatic. And the newcomers at the start weren't really any better than the old-timers.
8️⃣ For success, you don't need uniqueness - you need a large market. And product uniqueness... it's like virginity, it fades very quickly ;-) Because a good unique product will still be quickly copied - and it will cease to be unique.
That's why it's better not to come up with unique ideas, but to copy - it's faster, easier, and cheaper ;-)
🧠💡 Finding a great opportunity is not 80/20, it's 0/100.
1️⃣ "How do I allocate efforts between the main project and other ideas constantly popping up?" asked the startup founder. "80% on the main project, 20% on everything else," I confidently replied. A week later, we check.
