In November of 2012 I decided to join professional network/entrepreneurial brain trust.
The rationale was simple, successful people don’t succeed on their own.
There are two parts to the program:
- Monthly interviews with a wide array of brilliant people, masters and advisors that have helped countless people with productivity, health, psychology, and more
- Membership to an exclusive community of ambitious professionals to hold you accountable, encourage you, and help you live a Rich Life
I read as much (or more) than anyone I know, but reading is a time consuming endeavor.
This brain trust provides access to knowledge, wisdom and proven strategies that top performers use to…
- Get more done
- Stay focused
- Earn more money
Below is a video preview and my notes from James Altucher discussing, among other things, how to deal with the fear of failure:
- Build your list, but also connect your list
- Build around themes, not goals
- Goals focus on outcomes, themes on the process
- Goals = Not satisfied with where you are. You achieve it once and then not satisfied anymore
- Themes = “I want to provide value that will reward me financially.”
- Scott Adams, the author of Dilbert, has some great thoughts on goals vs. systems. So does James Clear.
- If I’m not getting 3-5 failures month, then I’m not trying hard enough
- Avoid fear of the future and regretting the past; be in the present
- An overnight success takes many years
- You have to choose yourself
- Surrender to the things you can’t control
- Be grateful
- Money buys freedom, which leads to peace
- On books: One nugget that you can apply to your life and use forever is worth $12
If you’re tired of waiting for “some day” to take your life to the next level you can check out the Brain Trust here.
