Gold out of the weeds

Doing things different to the rest of people around you will send you to different places. I’m not saying Cook Island, Vanuatu, Fiji… some of my last trips, but “other places”. You’ll get sued. You’ll sue someone. You’ll get robbed. You’ll make amazing friends. You’ll meet incredible people and partners. You’ll grow… faster than “the rest”. You’ll become smarter, calmer, more focused… faster than the rest, by the way. Be around people that you admire will push you closer to that people… you’ll become one of them. This is why friends, colleagues, partners and so on are so critical. Solo you can do things faster, but with great people around you, you’ll go further.

Complexity is the enemy of clarity. And without clarity, you're invisible. I’ve been in meetings where technical guys discuss and discuss. Argue and argue. About the gender of the angels. For hours. For meetings. For months. Ego against ego. And you still miss the point. The clarity, the specificity of the problem. And they go invisible. For bosses and leaders alike. If you are able to explain complex things in a simple way, as if the person you talk to was 5 years-old… People will listen....
Every important decision in your life has come down to the same thing. Making a bet on yourself. Changing company? Bet on yourself. Changing career path? Bet on yourself. Starting your business?
