This episode focuses on “Locking In”. The Forest BusinessSchool offers  an architecture for sustained advancement, built on five durable principles that form a clear blueprintfor Intentional Progress. The first tenet, Prioritization > Efficiency, requires focusing energy on the one critical task that truly moves the trajectory, actively refusing to optimize trivial work. Progress is secured by implementing Systems > Goals, consistent protocols that make successinevitable through repetition rather than relying on fragile willpower or mood. To build competence, one must first Replicate, Then Iterate to understand a proven pattern before innovating, while the principal Inspiration Is Perishabledemands immediate, decisive action before momentum evaporates. When instructions end, the approach demands the resourceful attitude of Figure It Out, meaning one must navigate ambiguity and keep moving rather than waitingfor perfect clarity or permission. These tenets reinforce each other, demanding engagement and movement to achieve sustained progress even when circumstances shift or the path ahead becomes complex. If locking in appeals to you, you should enroll in the upcoming (January 2026) 3-Month FBS Linchpin Course (more at www.vtfbs.com).
