Reading "48 Laws Of Power" at midnight yesterday taught me something.
I'll share with you.
On Thursday last week, my cousin got a job from an Agency, to create a video story.
One thing about this cousin of mine is her ability to write thought-provoking scripts.

On Thursday last week, my cousin got a job from an Agency, to create a video story.
One thing about this cousin of mine is her ability to write thought-provoking scripts.
For some reason, she was scared.
She had never created a video before and she was already overwhelmed.
She reached out to me and first thing I told her was:
"Drop the job, forget it and go chill. Let's talk in the evening.
Remember to FORGET IT!"
She was going to argue and

She was going to argue and
ask me why.
I threatened her:
"If I must tell you why, you must pay for my time. Forget it and go have some fun."
My cousin has worked with me on several different projects so she obliged.
Evening came and we had our talk.

Evening came and we had our talk.
During the conversation, I asked her to write out, from beginning to end, everything she needed to do to get the job done.
Just an outline.
She did.
I asked her to write down everything that could make this project go wrong.
Everything that could stop her from doing it right.

(Follow me, I'm headed somewhere.)
Once done with the plan, I taught her something called "work cycle."
I learnt this from Miguel Hernandez, founder of Grumo media.

The process was simple, spend the next 30 minutes working on the project and make as many mistakes as possible.
I was clear on that.
Make all the mistakes and don't even try to correct it.
After 45 minutes, she called me and told me she had done so much work in

Make all the mistakes and don't even try to correct it.
After 45 minutes, she called me and told me she had done so much work in
that time than she knew she could do.
Here is the lesson in this:
One thing that keeps us from doing things is because we fear we will make mistakes.
It happens with writing or creating anything.
That consciousness of mistakes slows us down.

But once you decide to make all the mistakes proudly, your inhibitions melt away.
Understand that the best works of art are always edited.
No work is created perfect.
Even the best writers, artistes, creators know their best work come from Editting.

Make your first draft as dirty as possible but do it with gusto and gumption.
Now, where is all of this in 48 Laws of Power?
Two Chapters.
One says:
Plan whatever you want to do to the end! Don't always focus on how it will work,
Also consider what will affect it negatively.

The other, which is my favourite is:
Enter action with boldness!
This was the idea around the work cycle.
Start and pour it all out.
Don't start with inhibitions.
You want to write?
Having writer's block?
Plan then enter with boldness, pouring everything out.

Later you can edit, and separate 'guguru from the epa'
Hope this helps you .
Have a great day ahead and crush some goals.
