The only habit needed to become successful
I've realised there's one habit that determines how successful someone will be in life.
It boils down to their ability to try a lot of things...
See, most people will have something they desire to achieve. Maybe they'll talk about it with friends, maybe they won't.
But everyone will start to do a little research into how they can make their dream a reality — and what happens next determines the winners and the losers.
Most people will see how others have achieved what they themselves want to achieve, they'll get inspired, try 1 or 2 things then get discouraged and give up — these are the losers.
The winners will start off the same way, but once the first couple of shots don't work out they will keep going.
The only habit needed to become successful is a relentless ability to take a lot of shots then iterate to improvement.
It's simple, just not easy.
If you just throw a lot of sh*t at the wall and see what sticks, eventually you'll figure it out.

Making 80k from 4 days of training: Revenue is not profit. It’s easy to make revenue numbers sound large but when you account for all your costs you realise revenue numbers are just a vanity metric. This super honest thread shares an interesting breakdown on the costs associated with an 80k deal to provide 4 days of training.
This is the Biggest Lesson You Need to Learn if You Want to be Successful: I've been digging Tim Stodz's writing recently. This is one of my favourites. In this article Tim shares how iteration and the willingness to fail in public is key to success, but your lizard brain (the part responsible for keeping you out of danger) is holding you back.
And that ultimately "to be successful, you have to train your mind to truly understand that putting your creative work into the world is not going to kill you."
George Heaton: On A Mission | The Danny Miranda Podcast: This podcast episode is magnificent. If you’re someone on a mission to build something you have to listen to this conversation. The energy between George and Danny got me fired up and ready to build.
I want to lose every debate: This is a great perspective on disagreeing with people:
“I never want to debate, but if I had to, I would hope to lose. I don’t want to convince anyone of my existing perspective. I would rather be convinced of theirs. It’s more interesting to assume that they are right.”
