Why doing more is stupid


Imagine spending time on a project… your project, your business… or working for others.

It does not matter.

​

You get momentum.

Things are going relatively well.

You’re working hard.

​
Now imagine that you add a little bit more of work.

Like answering to more than four or five Team messages a day… or doing another meeting… or another Power Point.

​

The exact same action that takes you to the next level in one situation will sink you in another.

​
And yet, people don’t get it.

​
If someone else does something that works, they copy it.

​
They never eliminate—only pile more on top of what they were already doing.

​

They make to-do lists with 300 new ideas they’ll “start next month”... plus a few more they’ll tack on during the week.

​
Do, do, do. Stuff, stuff, stuff.

​
Stuff that has zero impact.

Stuff no one cares about.

​

Then they beat themselves up for everything they should be doing but aren’t.

​
And wonder who they can hire to “do more.”

​
Without realizing the real answer is: do just one thing.

Only one.

One that works.

​

And I know, that sounds crazy.

​

I get it.

​

Because that’s the hard part—choosing that one thing.

​

But they don’t know how to choose.

​
If they see someone they admire doing something, they want to do it too—the same way.

​

And months go by.

​
Years go by.

​
And those they copy—people who do know how to choose—end up multiplying their results by a hundred.

​
While the copiers are still stuck where they were when they started mimicking.

​

Well…

​

It may be one thing or just 15… but not 300.

This is what I explain below.
The exact method winners use to deliver successfully.

​

Once you realize how valuable these things are, you’ll stop everything you’re doing.
You’ll take a breath.
And you’ll pick one thing, and then another from this list… and that’s it.

​
The one after another thing that will take you to the next level.

Ever seen a power plant that worked for just five days? Welcome to Nandipur. With all my respects and ingenuity… The Nandipur Power Project in Pakistan was a masterclass in how not to execute a PPP: No Business Plan, no roadmap. The destiny: chaos from the get-go. Unrealistic Risk Transfers: Risks were offloaded onto parties ill-equipped to handle them, setting the stage for failure. How could nobody think about this? Crazy. Land Not Available: Of course… Delays in land acquisition. How...

I want you to dream big. I want you to build an empire. On your personal brand as professional or on your businesses owning multiple entities. That does not matter. Doing this is simple. First you have to believe it. You’re not less intelligent than billionaires out there or are more unlucky or are taller or shorter or whatever. Those guys poo, have pees and fart just like you. There is no reason why they can, while you can’t. Second, do, do and do. But here it’s the thing. Do things on the...

If one day you're tired, rest.If you're tired many days, change your life. I'm unsure of the origin of these sentences, but... it's wisdom at its highest. Read it again. And again. And again. And now... Apply this to anything you’re doing. Your job, your investments, your project, your company. You know what Einstein said about doing the same and the same and the same and still waiting or hoping for a different result. There is nothing valuable in your comfort zone other than a comfortable...
