0:00.0 | Know that when you have hard decisions in front of you, there's nothing wrong with that. |
0:05.7 | It means, if anything, you've picked all the easy paths. You've already cut the low-hanging fruit off. |
0:09.6 | You've already made the easy ones that have almost no trade-off. But what happens later is you get to |
0:13.6 | real difficult to reverse decisions. And so at that point, you have to put your big boy pants on |
0:18.2 | and say, I've got to make a trade. |
0:23.1 | Greetings, Earthlings. I wanted to make this live, this broadcast, if you will, because I had a |
0:30.0 | really good conversation last week with an entrepreneur, and it was something, something came up |
0:36.0 | that I know affects all of us. |
0:39.4 | And so the entrepreneur was dealing with a rock and a hard place decision, right? |
0:43.6 | There's two paths you could do, and apparently there's a cost on either side. |

1:05.9 | of our lives are spent with only hard decisions left. And so the only way to make a hard decision, an easy decision, |
1:12.1 | is to let life make it for you, which is what the vast majority of people do. But letting life |
1:16.6 | make the decision for you is typically not a very good way to live life. Or at least you're not |
1:20.0 | going to get what you want. You're going to get what the roll of the dice gives you. And so |
1:23.3 | the things that are obvious and not risky you have already done. And so with left are the things that are obvious and not risky you have already done. |
1:30.7 | And so with left are the things that are obvious and risky. |
1:35.5 | And so it's because these types of decisions involve tradeoffs. |
1:38.7 | And I'll say this again, like you almost never get something for free. |
