Summary

Today, I want to talk with you about destination disease. Too many people reach a certain level and want to just coast on what they already know. But I know that's not you... You're reading this because you're look for ways to continually learn, grow, and improve. I suffered from destination disease for years and years after I graduated college... I chose to just coast.

I heard Steve Harvey talking about fleas in a jar.

0:09.0

He said that at the beginning of an experiment, they get a number of fleas, let's pretend this is one, and they place them in a jar.

0:16.0

And he said fleas have the ability to jump 200 times their size vertically.

0:21.6

It's crazy.

0:22.6

They put these fleas in a jar with a glass lid placed on top.

0:27.6

The fleas fly up, they hit the lid, and they fall back down to the jar.

0:32.6

1:25.0

of my jar. And I want you to take this quick little quiz

1:28.4

to tell if your lid is on.

1:30.1

In other words, you're not progressing towards a better life.

1:33.5

But first, before we go over this quiz,

1:35.8

I wanna ask you to do a favor for me.
