Understanding common truths about success will help you unlock mental barriers and get you performing at higher levels.

7 areas in life everyone struggles with…

///thread///
Ask yourself...

Do you feel like others have it easy?
Do you feel like everyone around you is crushing it?

What if I told you everyone struggles, and we only tend to see the wins?

Would you believe me?

You should.

Here are the 7 areas we all struggle with…
1) No one has it figured out.

Everyone is struggling with something; most of us are making it up as we go along, seeing what sticks and repeating what works.

This idea that ‘some’ just cruise through life is a fairytale, a fantasy sold to us to make us feel inadequate.
2) Everyone wants to quit.

You would be surprised by the number of super successful people who have a “I nearly quit” story.

Wanting to quit is normal; not quitting is the key.

You will want to quit at times, but you must go on anyway, and you'll always feel better for it.
3) Time moves quicker than you think.

Reaching your goals can be tricky.

You may have fallen into the trap of complacency; you've had a little success, and your foot comes off the gas pedal.

Nothing fails like success; you need to double or triple down when the going is good.
If you're a busy professional or entrepreneur looking to be more effective with your time, improving your performance and results

Without spending weeks and months trapped in the same daily loop waiting for things to change.

4) No one is watching you.

Okay, maybe a handful of people are, and you do want some of those people to be watching.

Biz partners, close friends, chill family members; they have your back.

But the other 99.99% of the 7 billion people on this planet don’t care about you at all.
5) Opinions are just opinions.

They are based on life experience.

Most people are not doing what you are attempting to do.

Feedback is always welcome; ideas from a different perspective can help.

But don't let others' opinions become a roadblock.
6) Failure is part of the process

Not everything you do will be a big success; actually, most of what you do will get little traction or be a loss.

But you learn from these attempts and test-learn-adapt.

So after the 9th attempt, you are ready to win big with try number 10.
7) Only focussing on yourself

Being more selfless compounds into larger wins

This can be hard at times, especially if you are not currently winning.

But the feeling you get from helping others is booster fuel.

If you feel stuck, focus on who you can help, not just yourself.
Taking a step back and asking yourself great questions is the best way to avoid these 7 areas.

You can set your life up for success in less than 7 Days with the mental models and exercises that will help you win.

Are you chasing success for the wrong reasons?

How to avoid the dark side of success and win for the right reasons.

///thread\\\
Ask yourself:

Do you feel like you are constantly chasing the dopamine hit of a win?
Do you feel like you do things because of other's expectations?
Do you do things just to beat people?

If you answered yes to any of those, you could be in the Success Trap

Let’s take a look...
Behind every victory is the desire for the next one, and that can be a good thing if you have good goals linked to a purpose.

But maybe for you, every success just makes you want more.

In reality, there is no peak to success; the climb towards the next one can become addictive.

You love to make things complicated, and it's not your fault.

But you need to stop; let's find out how.

///thread///
We are the cause of most of our complicated issues in life.

When faced with two competing options, we are more likely to choose the more complex option even if there is a simple choice available.

Welcome to complexity bias...
To beat it, you 1st need to understand why you do it

Complexity bias is our tendency to look at something easy to understand and then see it as having many difficult parts, or, we may view it as more complex while in a confused or stressed state

Let's look at three examples...

How to improve your performance by thinking about death.

You will be surprised by how effective it is.

///thread///
How do you use death to make you perform better?

Well, by thinking about Memento Mori.

Essentially, you do more because you know you will die.

But, wait, what is Memento Mori.

Well, it is a large part of Stoic philosophy…
Memento Mori is the practice of contemplating your mortality and remembering that death comes to all

In English, it translates to "remember you must die"

Sounds kind of morbid and not fun?

I know, but you need this concept in your life; it pushes you to take the right actions.

The 5 major consequences of drifting in life, avoid these at all costs.

///thread///
Drifting sounds cool to some, "go with the flow, man."

However, drifting can have serious consequences, not only for you but also for those close around you.

In most long-term situations in life, drifting is flat-out dangerous.

Avoid these 5 costly consequences...
1) Confusion.

While drifting in life, you lose perspective.

Without a clear destination in view, challenges seem impossible or pointless to face.

You will struggle to find meaning and purpose, leaving you confused and lost.

You need plans, systems, and structure to succeed.
