Save yourself from stupidity in 2024
Jan 03, 2024 8:04 am
Hey there!
I got quite a bit of emails in yesterday...
Most of which welcomed me back.
Thanks guys.
I don't take the love for granted.
My favorite email from yesterday though was this one:
This was the email I didn't know I needed...
Thank you for making me feel seen and heard, more importantly, thank you for helping me put a structure to my 2024.
Thank you, Papi... You're truly a gift that never stops giving!
Have a mind-blowing 2024!!
Totally loved it.
And to be honest, it had me up this morning with a hilarious grin on my face.
Anyways...
About our conversation today...
Ever wish that you would just get to your goals faster?
I get it.
We all struggle with the "need for speed."
But it's not the speed that you want.
You can move really fast in a big circle.
Or worse, in the wrong direction.
Try this:
Close your eyes and imagine moving toward your goal quickly.
Go on do it....
I'll wait...
Done it?
Good.
Lemme tell you what just happened in your head...
You weren't just moving fast...
You were closing the gap between where you're at now and where you want to be.
You weren't imagining speed....
You're imagining speed in a specific direction...
AKA....collapsing the time to get to target
...and you are mistaking it for speed.
And that's what we're all ultimately trying to do:
Collapse Time.
Like we talked about yesterday...
Before we can Collapse Time...
We need Certainty that we are headed in the right direction.
We also need to know we aren't heading right into a brick wall or into danger.
Certainty is the most efficient path forward, with the highest probability of success, and it's individual to you.
So before we can have Certainty, we must have Clarity.
Clarity of who you are, where you are, where you want to be, and the type of route you want to take.
Google Maps is a great example.
It cannot give you directions without a starting location or desired destination.
Then, it maps out multiple routes and lets you choose which one you want to take.
The fastest one?
The one that avoids traffic?
The one that makes a stop at your favorite Iya Rukah's amala and ogunfe restaurant?
It gives you an opportunity to incorporate your preferences.
Most importantly, it adjusts when new information is revealed.
It re-routes.
That function exists because Google Maps knows that things change and following an outdated plan is silly.
After it has Clarity, Google Maps can give you the highest level of Certainty that you get to where you are trying to go.
And it does so while maintaining your preferences.
So the sequence of getting somewhere reliably is:
Clarity --> Certainty --> Collapsing Time
In that order.
You cannot have one without the thing that comes before it.
Yesterday I shared how we might implement this as buyers and as
entrepreneurs...
So how do we IMPLEMENT this on a personal basis to ensure we consistently hit our goals in 2024?
Well...
First let me swap round the words a bit to make it easier to sort through the action or behavior steps:
Let's change Clarity to Shields...
Certainty to Velocity...
And Collapsing Time to Force Multipliers.
Shields --> Velocity --> Force Multipliers
Keeping that in mind...
Think of the process as...
First, shield yourself from and avoid bad things. Don't go backward.
Second, get closer to your destination which each move you make until you are on track to get there in an appropriate amount of time.
If you increase velocity without shields, you are likely to blow yourself up...
Or take yourself out of the game.
Third...find the leverage you need to get there faster.
If you find leverage, but you're pointing in the wrong direction, you get further away from what you want, faster.
Make sense?
If not, that's okay. That's what the next few emails will walk you through.
Sit tight.
For now though...
Just understand that Clarity is a Shield.
It protects you from the full consequences of your capacity for bad decisions.
It also protects you from full consequences of other people's foolishness.
So what do you need to get clear about?
Just is:
You need to be clear about what is most important to you.
Once you are...
Everything else falls into place.
Tomorrow we'll talk about using this to create the fastest path
to more income, impact and influence for you in 2024.
Got questions?

Till then...
Get out of you own way and play a bigger game than you've ever
played before.
