The Weekly Call

Ep 87 | The Dangers of Arbitrary Expectations


Listen Later

John and Amer reflect on themselves growing up as they notice that their views on the world are shifting. The focus is no longer on the immediate and the money. Instead, it’s all about the long term game and the fulfillment in what they do.

Amer opens up about an insecurity he has felt for a while because of an arbitrary goal he had set for himself as a teenager, and more recently, the revenue goal he had for his business in 2020. He has fallen behind on both of these goals, not for a lack of effort, but simply because he didn’t know what it would take to accomplish them in the first place.

The key lesson here is: be careful not to beat yourself up over unrealistic expectations you have of yourself if you underestimated the inputs required to achieve them.

There's no talk of strategy or any tips to follow in this episode… just a casual conversation between two friends and an opportunity to get to know the guys on a more personal level.

Hope you enjoy!
