The most powerful thing to do
Jan 05, 2023 7:08 am
Hey there People!
So exactly 8 years ago and to the day...
I launched what today is known as The Highly Paid Experts Network.
8 years later I can positively say it's one of the best decisions I've ever made.
Why?
Because HPEN is a force multiplier.
What's a force multiplier?
In simple terms, it's any tool, strategy, skill or person that gives you leverage.
And leverage essentially means getting exponentially more output with just a little effort.
Hold that thought for a minute whilst I digress a bit...
For the last 8 years, one thing that keep recurring is people asking me how I get things done...
Well...
Here's the secret...
It's all about being able to recognize and create: Unfair Advantages
More on that some day.
Now back to our conversation for today.
A Force Multiplier is an unfair advantage.
Some force multipliers are obvious.
Some are less obvious.
What I hope to do today as my gift to you, is share two force multipliers that are super easy to develop once you adapt them to your thinking...
And share two things to be aware of so you don't waste your time one something that you might think is a force multiplier but really isn't..
If you get this...
2023 is shape up pretty fast for you.
By the way it's still not too late to join us for Start The Year Right...
Most of these concepts will make more sense to you inside the program than outside...
It's just N50,000 or $100 CLICK HERE TO GET YOUR SPOT
Let's get in to this then...
The first force multiplier I'd like to take to you about is Compounding Returns
Imagine that I'm an investor and I learn a principle that helps me perform 5% better...
Well if i consistently apply that principle, the 5% better I do on each trade or investment will compound.
The potential power of that principle is multiplied by the Compounding over the years.
Compounding is a mega force multiplier.
But its a double edged sword.
Stupidity compounds just as easily as wisdom compounds.
Wealth compounds just as easily as poverty compounds.
The seconds force multiplier I'd like to share with you are Fundamentals
The greatest force multipliers are the fundamental and basic universal principles.
Why?
Because they give us a slight edge in everything we do..
When things aren't going your way or you want greater results...
Don't turn to the complicated stuff...
Turn to the basics.
Now to make any of these work in your favor...
You must understand sequencing and our sense of urgency
We are all really bad at both.
Let's start with Sense of Urgency
This is about mistaking what feels urgent for being high leverage or a top priority.
Just because something is urgent doesn't mean it is a priority for you in the moment.
Urgency hijacks our monkey minds and prevents us from seeing or creating leverage.
We want to get in better shape now...
So we feel like we don't have time to worry about fixing our sleep.
Over time we realize it was stupid but now that bit of stupidity has compounded.
We have a pile of work on our desks now...
So we don't have time to spend an hour a day learning the things that will ultimately help us do our work better...
Again that stupidity compounds.
We need to chop down as many trees as possible today, can't waste time sharpening the axe. (Sharpening the axe acts as a force multiplier)
Here's what to keep in mind:
A sense of urgency will have us swinging a dull axe for the rest of our lives while those that take the time to sharpen the axe blow right past us.
Let's talk about Sequencing
This is about mistaking the thing you want most or the thing that is most appealing to be the thing to do first.
If you want to master many skills, master mastery first.
By doing so...
You will be able to master many more skills...
At a much deeper level and much more efficiently.
If you want to make better decisions...
Master the art of examining the logic, reasoning, and evidence of decisions..
Otherwise...you're just guessing.
If there is something you want to do at a high level...
Whether its chop down trees...
Write books..
Get in shape or have a great relationship...
There is always a force multiplier...
Hiding in plain sight that will amplify your future efforts and compound into far greater returns than you may even be able to comprehend.
Be intentional about the order in which you do things...
Prioritize force multipliers...
Master the fundamentals...
And develop habits that allow those fundamentals to compound over time.
You life will be much easier.
And you wouldn't be one of those running around in 2023 like a chicken with it's head cut off.
Till tomorrow...
Get out of your own way.
