Editor's Notes
- You are who you are because of where you were born, have lived, and who you’ve been around. You are likely Christian b/c you were born in the US. You are likely looking for a job b/c that’s what you are “supposed to do”. Same with college.
- eHarmony – millions of members,542 people per day marry – that 436 question document must work. Why?We all have the same destination – death. We all believe the same statistics. We are driven by marketing – which consists of motivating people according to social and emotional desiresShow example of split tests
- It can be scary. Question everything – don’t believe every stat you hear.
- What have you done today that is uncomfortable?
- What have you done today that is uncomfortable?
- That it, without drugs
- Am I willing to do it?Life is shortManagers willing to keep underperforming people b/c of a fear to fire them. Fire those who are stealing from you (you pay they do not perform).
- Do you know what you want? How would you know it if you got it?
- Its who knows you – not who you know.
- Why? They are so small in the grand scheme of things.What small things take up a lot of your attention and should not?What small things take up a lot of your attention and should?Ever feel lost when you’ve lost your mobile phone? Why panic?
- Try not to think of an orangeTime is all you have – that’s it. It’s the one thing you cannot get back.
- Possessive and absolute
- Inherited behaviors and change – nature vs nurtureDNA – Do you believe in drugs?Ever taken antibiotics? Anyone on anti-depressants?
- Find a mentorOffer help – things you’ve learned
- Perception
- Perception – this is a symbol of death in Japan
- Monetize things – what does inaction cost you?
- You have over about 11000 working days in a career (age 22-65). During that time, you’ll have 5000 days not working (weekends). Why do this? You become a machine with service time. Outsource things. Keep the time you have. You do not get it back.
- Mention professions which have no incentive in their clients’ speedy resolution. Like family court attorneys. Real estate agents with a +/- $20,000 sale price will only have their commission affected by $600. Physicians need to see more patients per hour to make the same money as years ago. They need to order more tests and visits.
