1077 SUCCESS UNLOCKED: BEYOND TALENT AND GRIT


Listen Later

In this episode of "ThinkFuture," we take a break from tech to chew on what really makes us successful in this wild world. I dive into how humans are wired for hierarchies—sorry, commies, we love a pecking order! Usually, we think talent (like prodigy-level skills) or perseverance (grinding those 10,000 hours) gets you to the top. But I debunk that a bit—turns out the 10,000-hour rule’s a myth outside rule-bound stuff like chess. Then there’s luck, sure, but here’s the kicker: I pitch a fourth path. You don’t need talent, grit, or a lucky break if the right person spots you and gives you a boost. It’s not just who you know—it’s who knows you. I say scream into the void, keep putting stuff out there, and maybe some big shot will lift you up. Success isn’t just DIY—it’s about getting seen by the right eyes!---The First Future Planner: Record First, Action Later: https://foremark.usBe A Better YOU with AI: Join The Community: ⁠https://10xyou.us⁠Get AIDAILY every weekday. ⁠https://aidaily.us⁠My blog: ⁠https://thinkfuture.com
