How would your life be different if every step you take can bring you closer to your goals without sad, depressed or loneliness from setbacks or failures and even better create a snowball effect working 24/7 for you, at the same time, you are fully motivated & fulfilled along the way?
Double down in focusing on the most important thing that is only relevant to you right now is the quickest way to reach the next level in your life.
As Confucius said, “One who chases two rabbits gets none”. This philosophy applies not only to the overall strategy but more importantly, the very next execution that most people ignored and failed.
Drew Wang, entrepreneur and investor, shares why he thinks modeling, working smart and hustling are overrated, especially for amateurs, ones who are just starting out. They sure have their places when the foundations are solid, but they are actually delusional and become distractions and inherently set out to fail if the person does not focus on knocking down his/her big domino, the most critical thing, first that is only relevant to him/her at the time.
It is especially true in today's technological world where distractions are all over the place that enable people to easily plug themselves into someone else's agenda and unknowingly thought of it as if they were their own, thus fall into the vicious negative cycle, is the biggest problem most people need to overcome before they can truly thrive in any way; The most powerful tool in the world won't help you a single bit if the very tool does not get you from where you are to where you wanna be. The process of breaking and rebuilding Drew's very own comfortable life from ground up is a living testament of this.
Stats have shown that most people gave up after 1-3 attempts, and most startups failed in the first 18 months as eventually they either run out of confidence that's shown as fear of failure, time or money, thus they’re never gonna get a chance to see the other side of the story.
Drew literally spent four years reading thousands of books on everything, ranging from health, to wealth, to relationship, to happiness, and experimenting, going through trials & errors, just to connect the dots and realized everything comes down to the one thing before anything else and that the biggest secret is you don't have to create them all and that time is the only thing we need to protect!
There is a priority to the 4 pillars of a good life, health, wealth, relationship and happiness, and everything else in life in order to get the tailwind working for you and to be able to weather any storms coming along the way. And what most people are missing out is that some are actually a given if leveraged and done correctly.
Drew realized there are tons of great gurus and leaders in various fields out there giving tremendous values but most people forgot it took them years if not decades of practicing, trials and errors, and even arrows at their backs multiple times before landing at where they are today. Yes, the result is important, but more importantly, most people didn't even ask the question why did they do what they do in the first place in a purposeful way; Understanding where one came from and being able to tie back to your own circumstances is crucial. The importance of the very next laser-focus execution for the individual, versus a particular strategy attributes to his/her success starting out is greatly underestimated. In other words, strategy without the timing or need but want is like no strategy at all.
He realized that in order for the majority of people to take massive actions and to see any results they are really after, their focus has to be not only simple but also effective from the get-go, and most likely different for all of them due to their differences in the stages of their journey.
For the ambitious, going through trials & errors might be challenging, fun and rewarding, but he found in order to see any progress for most people, hyper-focusing on the very next execution, is the single secret sauce that most ignored after it becomes too late.
He found it to be true for all aspects of his learnings and breakthroughs in all aspects of a good life. Not to devalue the big picture; It's certainly powerful when deployed right, but it is the epiphany of hyper-focus and micro-execution that have given him the momentum to continue pushing over the edges and not the 35,000 feet view strategy that should come only when it's really needed.
Being able to ditch the norm and become unstoppable despite the circumstances has been the superpower for Drew. And this is just one thing that he does that has given him the insights and ability to escape from the norm, and create the ultimate purpose in his life.
