There was a great thread on Twitter the other day where a guy assigns potential clients a book to read before going any further. Something like 90% of them never do-and they’ve already paid!
The interesting part was the comments; people were clearly missing the point and still asking him for free advice.
Love this mindset. Whether people realize it or not they end up choosing their hard. It’s hard to get up and workout each day, it’s also hard to be out of shape and have chronic diseases. It’s hard to build a budget for your family and research how to increase savings, but it’s also hard to live paycheck to paycheck and succumb to a mountain of debt. Choose which hard you want in your life.
how do people transition from easy to hard ? how does a person get obsessed to the point that they can be ok failing in multiple businesses and losing millions in the process? how can they develop such resilience and perseverance?
I think it’s too hard to come up with tricks and hacks to get going.
The counter to “easy like Sunday morning” is Nike’s “Just Do It.” We can count on more of these smart quotes and lyrics because it’s part all of the dopamine rush conspiracy theory.
Be as it may, hard is a good yardstick to follow, its less crowded and it’s progress.
It's easy to choose easy because everyone else does. When it's what everyone else around you is doing, it also becomes what you want to do. Like they say, tell me who your friends are...

If hard were easy, everyone would be there. That is why you have not to follow the flock but your instinct! You know what you have to do to succeed!
Thanks for the post!
This is the reason I started practicing jiu jitsu in my late 30s.
