| 0:00.0 | What if I told you that thinking like the top 1% has nothing to do with being smarter? Here's the truth. I grew a multi-million dollar business from nothing, but training my mind to think less, not more. I'm going to give you the six mental frameworks that separate the doers from the thinkers, but here's the catch. At the end, I'm going to test you to see whether you're actually ready to think like the top 1% or you're addicted to complexity and overthinking just like everybody else. |
| 0:23.3 | Here's the first framework that's going to piss off every productivity guru and person who |
| 0:28.1 | worships them. |
| 0:28.9 | Okay, most people, they see the world in black and white. |
| 0:31.6 | Success or failure. |
| 0:32.7 | Good or bad. |
| 0:33.7 | Quit or continue. |
| 0:34.7 | Real life is messy, is nuance is not perfect. |
| 0:37.9 | The quickest way to think more clearly is to avoid binary thinking. |
| 0:42.3 | This single mindset shift saved me years of wasted effort and honestly so much turmoil. |
| 0:47.5 | The top 1% they use AND not OR. |
| 0:51.3 | They hold conflicting truth simultaneously. |
| 0:54.0 | I'll give you some examples. This person screwed |
| 0:55.7 | up and they've done good things. This plan is painful and it might still work. I'm scared and |
| 1:02.5 | I can still do it. This launch flopped and it taught me what to fix. And leaves room for nuance and |
| 1:09.1 | prevents you from blowing up your life just because reality is messy. |
| 1:13.0 | The hardest and that I've had to hold is I'm successful and I'm still figuring it out. |
| 1:18.9 | For the longest time, I used to think to myself that if I did anything to conflict with the person I wanted to be, |
| 1:24.8 | with being successful, with being perfect in somebody else's eyes, that I was a bad person. And so a mantra that I started saying to myself was I would say, I'm a good person and I do bad things sometimes. And it sounds silly and ridiculous, but it was probably one of the most relieving things I could have ever done for myself because I held myself to this unrealistically high standard. And it's just like created a huge level of relief for me. it's also allowed me to have more clarity to thought. So what you want to do is you want to start |
| 1:48.1 | using and statements in your hardest moments. I feel like giving up and I can take one more step. |
| 1:54.5 | This is harder than I thought and I'm still learning and I will continue to learn. Thinking in |
