The Biggest Issue With "Modern Education"....

Hi Team....

Today, I want to speak with you about learning....

How we learn...

How YOU learn...

I will keep it simple, since simple is the theme.

You see, today, we can often find ourselves confused, trying to do too much, and struggling to rise above the noise....

That is because we are taught from the position of  "growth by complexity"....

If you are smarter, you will go further.

If you speak in a way that is more sophisticated, you will be known as a great communicator.

If your leadership theories are complex enough, you will be seen as a great, knowledgable leader.

But today, I want to debunk all of that.

The goal should always be: Massive Simplification.

You see, when I coach leaders, the one common thread amongst them when they are "jammed" up is they are making something simple too complicated.

That "making it complicated" is actually stunting their creativity, their growth, and their genius.

So, what do we do?

We immediately simplify things down to the next most appropriate action...

Not the next most appropriate thought.... but action.

You see, it is action that often opens our pathways back up and gets us going again.

SO, why I am writing this to you?

I want to give you a tool.

The tool is based on a question: WHAT IS MY NEXT, SIMPLE, MOST APPROPRIATE NEXT ACTION?

That is the question I want you to ask yourself next time you are in a jam...

And, I want to give the second part to this exercise when you feel "stuck"...

Ready?

Start your clock.

You must take that action within the next 5-minutes.

Get a drink.

Hit the bathroom.

Grab a snack.

Then get to work.

Thinking, contemplating, strategizingare known as the 3-amigos of stalling.

Meaning, the longer you do the above, the longer you may feel stuck.

Now, there are times for these activities, but those times must be scheduled with a clear start and stop.

Long duration, drawn out thinking, contemplating, and strategy sessions are energy killers, time drainers, and have a huge cost.

Get to the point- then move to action.

MOVE TO ACTION.

As you are moving to action- make sure you are moving to simplicity.

Always work to simplify your thoughts.

Get to the most simple thought and the most simple action.

ALWAYS.

That is what makes you a great thinker.

A great communicator.

A great leader.

The greats have a gift of simplification, not complication.

This is WHY sometimes the smartest people, who are over-thinkers end up working for the community college graduate who lives on the nice block, with the nice cars, and the fat wallet.

That person knows how to simplify- and is not a professional over-thinker and confusing communicator!

Got it?

Get simple.

Take action.

Get simple.

Take action.

OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER AGAIN.

Let's go!
