“Set your dreams and goals so high, that they demand an entirely different version of you to accomplish!”

Let’s get the week started with some fun.

Yesterday and today, Dr. Ben Hardy sent an email with a link to a 40-minute video explaining Scaling.com. Most of us here are familiar with Dr. Ben's concept on Scaling. Each time he has a new post, it seems he is finding more clarity on what Scaling means. Each time I watch his new posts, I seem to gain a better understanding of how I've been operating and how I want to operate. I came to another realization after watching this video post. Most things I do in life, personally and professionally, I like having options. I feel if I get too specific, I'll be trapped. In reality, options create noise/clutter. Specificity creates clarity. It seems counterintuitive to me. I operate thinking the more options I have, the opportunities will come my way. However, this is like being a jack of all trades and master of none. If I get specific, I get clarity. I will be a master/expert of my subject. I eliminate competition not by competing with others. I create my own space so there is no one else my space. Focusing on a niche creates clarity. This line of thinking will provide me with 10 X growth and more. As I continue to refine my thinking on this concept, I feel I'm getting closer to a breakthrough.

I was reading this article by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and he says: "Leadership is primarily about what you DON'T do. Steve Jobs said, "Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things." Warren Buffett said, "The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything." The same is true of organizations. The most successful organizations understand that strategy is primarily about what the organization DOESN'T do. Strategy requires leaving the wrong money on the table, knowing such "opportunities" will cost you 10x compared to going deep." Let that sink in for a moment - what are you doing that's costing you time, money and effort and you're not realizing it? It's hard to kill our darlings even when they are killing us.

If you’re not feeling great, what’s one thing you can do to find some momentum? If you’re on a roll, tell us about it. How can you keep the momentum going?
