You Can Make It

Successful people wake up as early as 4:30 every morning. Why?

We try to be up before 6am every day. Why? 

In this episode Simone goes through 8 reasons why he thinks waking up early is the recipe for success. 

Also, this is a new format, a RISTRETTO double espresso, meaning shorter and with only one of us. You know of the challenges we've had to record together, so we're now trying to record asynchronously. Let us know if you like it or hate it, you know we care about your feedback!

"Succesful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers"

What if you could improve the quality of your life just by asking better questions?

We want to offer you a tremendous leap in the quality of your life and other than listening to this new episode of the Double Espresso Show,  all you will have to do is to ask yourself a new question before you go to sleep tonight.

Conventional wisdom says that we should do what we love. But, more importantly, you need to stay committed to doing what you love. We are constantly being told that we should persevere and soldier on, even if at first it seems too hard. Despite all this emphasis on working hard and keeping at it, however, we don’t really believe that it will get us to the top. In our heart of hearts, we know that it’s talent, not perseverance, that gets people to the top.

Talent is overrated. What you really need is grit and determination.

Let’s dig more into it.
