Hey there

Yesterday was a complete atrocity...

Spent it watching James Bond die in No Time To Die...

That totally messed me up...

Then I got to check out a black female 007.

I'm not exactly sure she'd pull a crowd...

But I'm curious as to how her first feature movie plays out.

Somewhere in my movie binge yesterday...

Someone said...

You don't ask for permission to do amazing things...

So I figured...

For those of us who don't make it to the start the year right workshop coming up next week monday...

Lemme share a few thoughts for getting to your next level in 2022

1. To get to your next level of success... Create a “What Scares Me list.” Ask what you’d do if you had no fear. Fear is often a mask for desire.
2. To get to your next level of success... Ask the ‘dumb’ and ‘obvious’ questions everyone else is afraid to ask.
3. To get to your next level of success... Look for what no one else can see. Say what no one else will dare to say.
4. To get to your next level of success... Admit your weaknesses. Vulnerability is your superpower.
5. To get to your next level of success... Assume you belong, rather than trying to fit in.
6. To get to your next level of success... Admit that you're addicted to solving problems. Stop solving them and start seeking people who can solve them for you.
7. To get to your next level of success... Ask who you want to be in ten years. Then travel through a time warp by doing what that person would do—right now.
8. To get to your next level of success... Go deep where you used to go wide. Go wide where you used to go deep.
9. To get to your next level of success... Stop doing everything that's not in your Zone of Genius. Spend most of your time doing only 1-3 things.
10. To get to your next level of success... Spend time with people who are 25 years ahead of you in terms of success. Most of them will be 25 years older than you. Some of them will be 10 years younger than you.
11. To get to your next level of success... Tell your team to make themselves redundant every 18 months. They'll be afraid you'll fire them. In fact, you're creating ways for them to work more and more in their Zones of Genius—doing the things that no one else can do.
12. To get to your next level of success... Don't answer any email that doesn't move you closer to your mission.
13. To get to your next level of success... Try to get thrown out.
14. To get to your next level of success... Think of your top 10% clients. Make it your mission to have 100% of your clients be like them within the next 12 months.
15. To get to your next level of success... Make a list of everything that drains you and everything that energizes you. Stop doing everything that drains you. Double down on everything that energizes you.
16. To get to your next level of success... Send your team flowers when they make a mistake or they challenge your thinking. Create a culture where it's safe to innovate, to make mistakes and to be more intelligent than you.
17. To get to your next level of success... Say Hell No to everything that's not a Hell Yes.
18. To get to your next level of success... Set a high aspirational hourly rate. No one will value you more than you. Pay someone to do everything that costs less than your personal hourly rate.
19. To get to your next level of success... Create leaders, not followers.
20. To get to your next level of success... Build a business with as few people as possible. And when you do hire—hire overlings, not underlings.
21. To get to your next level of success... Spend money on things that make your life effortless.
22. To get to your next level of success... Output > Input. Write more than you read. Create more than you consume.
23. To get to your next level of success... Build community.
24. To get to your next level of success... Become known as someone who helps others succeed.
25. To get to your next level of success... Commit yourself to a mission far bigger than you. If you can do it alone, you're not dreaming big enough.
26. To get to your next level of success... Be in it for the long haul. Choose a mission to commit to for the next 25 years. Your secret weapon will be the patient execution of what everyone else knows they should be doing.
27. To get to your next level of success... Prioritize your health, your relationship and your family above your business success. They are your true measure of success.
28. To get to your next level of success... put at risk your current success.
29. To get to your next level of success... Stop looking for someone to save you. You've got this. You're more powerful than you know.

What's holding you back the most from your next level of success?

Till tomorrow...

Play a bigger game.
