Key takeaways:

• Forcing functions are intentionally designed constraints that create an environment where success is inevitable.
• Designing your environment and leveraging money, people, and external expectations can be effective forcing functions.
• Get clear about your vision and who you need to become to achieve it.
• Create forcing functions that make success easy and remove friction and excuses.
• Being willing to do what most people aren't willing to do is key to achieving success.

"Forcing functions are essentially constraints or intentionally designed constraints that create an environment where you can't help but succeed."

"If we don't create our environment, or if we don't design our environment, our environment will create us."
