Most entrepreneurs are drowning in strategies, hacks, and shiny new tools—chasing “more” in hopes of reaching the next level. But what if the secret to real, sustainable growth isn’t more… But deeper?

In this episode of The Mind of George Show, I dive into one of the most important mindset shifts in business: mastery comes from the same reps at different depths. You’ll learn why success isn’t about what’s next—it’s about going deeper with what already works, and why simplicity is your most powerful lever for long-term success.

This is part of a keynote series I gave to some of the world’s highest-performing poker players—but it’s just as relevant if you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or high-achiever navigating burnout, plateaus, or growth that still doesn’t feel like enough.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why chasing new strategies sabotages long-term growth
• The “shiny object” trap and how to avoid it
• How to uncover the reps that actually move the needle
• Why complexity is killing your business progress
• A simple reflection practice to find where you’ve drifted
• The link between simplicity, peace, and peak performance

Key Takeaways
✔️Mastery doesn’t come from novelty—it comes from depth.
✔️Success is simple—because it can be scheduled.
✔️Complexity is often just disguised avoidance.
✔️Simplicity creates clarity. Clarity creates results.
✔️You’re not behind—you’re just stuck in the shallow end of your own genius.
✔️Find the reps that work. Do them better. That’s the game.

Your Challenge This Week

Ask yourself:

1. What’s one thing I know works—but I’ve stopped doing?
2. Where am I overcomplicating because I’m avoiding simplicity?
3. What reps am I avoiding that I know lead to results?

Then: Write them down. Protect them. Go deeper. That’s your path forward.
