This message stood out for me.
You did not come so far to play small. You came this far to move the world. Now is the time; now is your time.
4 key elements of leading an Asymmetric life:
- Do hard things
- Do your thing
- Do it for decades
- Write your story
And overcome fear-
“The four things that we talked about are ways that you can tangibly and tactically throughout your lives look fear in the eye and say to fear, not today, today I’m going to play big, today I’m going to play this asymmetric life. Now is the time to do hard things. There’s something that you fear right now, that’s exactly where you should go. You should be doing that thing.”
Every single point will make a difference. Take the time to listen to this. And then start practicing this.
You did not come so far to play small! You came this far to move the world. Now is your time!
