Contrary to popular belief, it's good to be ignorant. You only have so much capacity in your mind, so you need to be hyper-selective about what gets into your head. In this episode, I cover a critical life skill: strategic ignorance. And I share my strategies for how I apply this idea, professionally and personally.

Invisible scripts run your life. That’s a tough pill to swallow. But it's true — they’ve owned you forever. No more. It’s time you shine a light on them, break free of limiting beliefs, and embrace your actual potential.

Or you could stay comfortably stuck…your choice.

My coaching clients are wildly successful by any traditional measure. The problem is they’ve got no room left in their cup for anything new — however much they might desire it. They’re always maxed out. The only way forward is addition by subtraction. Make this principle core to your career and life philosophy. By default, your cup should be more empty than full. Mind blown? Listen carefully.

2022 was the year I left corporate. It was one hell of a ride — learning to be a full-time entrepreneur. Big-time highs...and lows. As I reflected upon year one, I landed on a surprising conclusion: entrepreneurship is brutal. But it's magically brutal, and I don't regret a second of it.

I can confidently say that I've grown more in 12 months of entrepreneurship than I did in the last decade of corporate life. Professionally and personally, I'm a completely different person. So I took time to document those lessons, and now I'm passing them on to you. I hope they help. Cheers to a beautiful 2023!

TAKEAWAYS

1. Default paths can quickly become your identity. Therefore, we must consciously decouple from them.

2. What we’re surrounded by, we adopt.

3. Corporate life can be a great accelerator to your career, but we must control that ascent.

4. Don’t just plug into the corporate machine like everyone else. You can deliver results (more efficiently) on your terms.

5. No one really cares about your work hours, only the value you produce. So use that to your advantage.

6. Too many people are “theoretical ninjas” — passively consuming good information without implementing it.

7. Healthy person = healthy worker. Focus primarily on being the former; the latter is a byproduct.

8. “The next logical step” is often the most illogical thing to do.

9. “It’s not about the money. It’s about how you’re investing your time in the moments that matter the most.”
