00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Welcome to today's episode

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,000
time is our non renewable resource

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
yet we often chase productivity as if it can be infinitely multiplied

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
here is the truth

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
the highest achievers aren't just efficient

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,000
they're effective

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
they focus on the right things

8
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
not just more things

9
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000
it's a subtle distinction

10
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000
but it's critical for success

11
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
my approach has always centered around ruthless prioritization

12
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
now convetional wisdom tells entreners to say YES to every opportunity

13
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
I disagree

14
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
in my journey, saying no was far more powerful

15
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
each no freed up space for the critical YES

16
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
the decisions that truly aligned with my core objectives

17
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
your time should be fiercely guarded

18
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
spent only on efforts that serve your greater vision

19
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000
remember when you say yes to one thing

20
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
you are inadvertantly saying no to another

21
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
let's talk about habits

22
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
while many tout the virtue of a strict morning routine

23
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
I'll dare say that adaptability triumphed for me over rigid structure

24
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
I didn't tie my success to waking up at 4am

25
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
or meditating for an hour daily

26
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000
instead, I developed a keen sense of self-awareness

27
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
understanding when I was most productive and creative

28
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
and shaped my schedule around that

29
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
even when it wasn't conventional

30
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
And when it comes to systems

31
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
the obsession with complex productivity tools

32
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
often misses the mark

33
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
My most effective system was simple

34
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
a well curated, constantly updated list

35
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
coupled with a commitment to single-tasking

36
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Multitasking, in my experience, is a productivity trap

37
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
aim for depth, not breadth

38
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,000
moving one big rock has a greater impact

39
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
than moving a dozen pebbles

40
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Personal development is not about

41
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
consuming every self-help book or attending every seminar

42
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
It's about learning from every experience

43
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
successes and failures alike

44
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
I've often found more value in reviewing my own mistakes

45
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,000
than from any external advice

46
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Authentic learning is about building a personal framework

47
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
from your unique experiences

48
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
not adopting someone else's second-hand wisdom

49
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Now, let's shift to a crucial often avoided topic

50
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
financial risk

51
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
the media glorifies stories of all in entrepreneurs

52
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000
who risked everything and won

53
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Here's what they don't tell you

54
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
I built my wealth through calculated risks

55
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000
never staking more than I could afford to lose

56
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
It's not as glamorous, but it's sustainable

57
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Blindly betting the farm is reckless, not brave

58
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Remember your entrepreneurial journey is marathonic

59
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
not a sprint

60
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
It requires consistency, resilience

61
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
and sometimes the courage to walk a path others dismiss

62
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Pursue effectiveness over efficiency

63
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
embrace adaptability,

64
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000
cherish simplicity

65
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Learn from your own journey

66
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
and take calculated risks

67
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
