And then it hit me...
The secret to life is trial and error. But trial and error takes time and effort. or Time and Energy. Tenacity & Toughness. Focus & Freedom.
Tenacity is Talent and it's all about deliberate practice, knowledge stacking, and consistency.
If you saw the sacrifices, hard work, and tenacity it took to achieve what they did, you would envy them, you'd admire them!
It's also about surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you.
When you hire a business coach, you MUST be sure that business coach is smarter than you.
When you hire a freelancer, you are hiring them for knowledge you don't have, so in that area, they are smarter than you.
When you read a book, be sure it is written by someone smarter than you.
When you purchase an application that solves a problem, you are are using a tool that is smarter than you.
When you create a process that produces a consistent result, it's assumed the process helps you be smarter than you would be without it.
I was never good a math. I feel it's held me back in life.
I write to process (and slow down) the thoughts in my head.
You can't stop thoughts from happening, you can only give them somewhere else to live. Write 'em down!
The sooner you start failing, the sooner you'll figure out what doesn't work.
Discovering what works and what doesn't.
My wife asked me to help her with her Apple iWatch band. It took trial & error, but was able to quickly figure it out. It's all about gathering additional information through trial and error. Until you discover what doesn't work, you won't discover what will. Failure is progress!
