11. Break it down

Your brain is engineered to pursue only projects that make sense.

If a project looks too complex it will naturally procrastinate.

Break it down into smaller steps and assign each step to each day.

If you still procrastinate, break it down further.

10. Borrow motivation from easy tasks

Motivation comes from execution, not the other way around.

Do small things to charge yourself up for big ones.

E.g. Make your bed in the morning.

Block down 30 minutes and get some baby tasks done first.

Then attack the heavy lifts.

What's the last course you bought?

[Gerardo Benavides | The "Vanderbilt Solopreneur" @itsgben]

Harsh truth:

Never be afraid to sell if you do it well.

You’ll change more people‘s lives by selling (and breaking their limiting beliefs), than you will by teaching.

Have you seen this for yourself?

The bedrock of a 0.1% man:

Have more than you show,

Speak less than you know.

I prefer to play games where if you wait, you win.

Here’s a perspective shift:

If knowing business were like knowing snow,

There’s people who have deliberately put themselves in Alaska for 20 years,

OF COURSE they know business better than you do.

You’ve barely undergone a single winter.

If you’re not making enough $,

Seriously ask yourself this:

How much time under the bar have you had?

How many:

* Real sales calls
* Real ads managed
* Real products have you built

Chances are NOT many.

Your foundation determines the peak of your pyramid.
