Here’s What You Missed

• What is the winning formula in winning poker

Knowledge Nuggets

[3:12] Love for the game and really wanting to learn- helped with winning in poker. One, putting in the time and work to get better, and also just trying to measure yourself, based on how you were yesterday and get a little bit better.

[6:53] It's really important, to have a group of people that are like-minded, that are working towards similar things. Because it does give you confidence to know that you're not alone. Not only will it give you confidence and help you like progress, but also just give you the tactics and knowledge and resources to improve.

[11:34] In facing setbacks: Reduce the damage by managing your money and your emotions better. It's really when you're losing and you have the setbacks that one learns how bad they really want it.

[12:24] It's a good test because when you have that adversity, you learn at what you really value and if you're willing to push through it, it means it's something that's worth pursuing. If not, it probably means you didn't want it bad enough in the first place.

[14:48] I need to focus on changing my strategy because my current strategy isn't working and that's hard to do because there are some ego involved. It's not a failure, but it's a setback. The second part was being in the right mindset mentally to accept the long run. Just accepting that it's going to take a while, but that's part of the journey.

[17:18] It's really, when you get to the top that you need to work even harder because there's more and more people chasing you and it's even more competitive.

[18:52] "It takes 10 years to be an overnight success." Your success sort of compounds over time.

[19:54] If you're very destination-oriented, then you know, you're probably pursuing something that you shouldn't be. If you're journey oriented in the sense that like you get in the state of flow while you're doing the activity that you're doing to get to your destination and you love what you're doing, it doesn't really feel like work. The goal is really to be in a flow state during the journey.

[22:38] Find what you can do better than everyone else, then find a way to spend as much of your time doing that as possible, and then outsourcing or hiring or partnering or surrounding yourself with people that are better at all the other things.

[32:48] You always have to be growing and evolving. And so it's fun to see where it's going now and where it'll take me in the future.

[38:02] Sharing your journey also really helped you understand what you're good at and it helps you find your voice because it forces you to be concise and provide value to other people.

[38:53] People think that they have to be great at something to start sharing. It's more about being authentic than being an expert.

[42:30] Motivation, happens through action. Take the first action and it gives you more confidence and that domino effect compounded over time is what leads to success.
