Summary

You are going to suck at this for a very long time. Today, Alex (@AlexHormozi) addresses a belief system that holds many back from learning the things they need to learn in order to be "successful".

Welcome to The Game Podcast where we talk about how to get more customers, make more profit per customer, and keep them longer, and the many failures and lessons we have learned along the way to $100M in sales. We've got roll-up-your-sleeves kind of hustle with a little bit of cleverness and a lot of heart.

Timestamps:

(1:05) - A lot of people struggle with this: a belief that they are inherently bad at things

(3:03) - Here are different ways this belief presents itself

(4:25) - They inherently limit themselves from learning because they have this checkbox in their head that as soon as things get difficult they say they're bad at this

(5:46) - If you spend an hour a day practicing a skill, over a year, you will most likely be in the top 10%, 5%, 2% of people

0:00.0	Real quick, guys, if you can think about how you found this podcast, somebody probably
0:03.8	tweeted it, told you about it, shared it on Instagram, or something like that.
0:07.5	The only way this grows is through word of mouth. And so I don't run ads, I don't do sponsorships,
0:12.2	I don't sell anything. My only ask is that you continue to pay it forward, do whoever showed you,
0:16.4	or however you found out about this podcast that you do the exact same thing. So if it was a review,
0:21.0	if it was a post, if you do that, it would mean the world to me and you'll throw some good comment
0:24.3	out there for another entrepreneur. They inherently limit themselves from learning because they have
0:28.4	this checkbox on their head that as soon as it gets difficult, they say, ah, I'm bad at this,
0:32.8	I am bad at this, I identify with being poor at this thing and therefore will never succeed
0:39.3	at this thing that's your requirement for being successful. Welcome to the game where we talk

0:51.7	What's going on, everyone? Happy whatever day of the week it is. Friday? Happy Friday.
0:58.4	I wanted to make this short video for you because I had two or three things happen in the last
1:03.7	handful of days that just seem to be this repeated thing and it reminded me that a lot of people
1:08.8	struggle with this, which is they believe that they are inherently bad at things because they are
1:17.6	not good at them. And I think that that is an incredibly dangerous belief set to have. And so what I
1:24.5	want to do is kind of break that belief set down to hopefully break it for you. So I think one of
1:30.2	the most valuable beliefs, because in terms of building on success, in my opinion, first you need
1:36.4	to develop skills, then you need to develop character traits to make sure that you do those skills,
1:40.9	and then you have to make sure that your beliefs are correct so that you can open up the world. But
1:44.8	the beliefs are kind of imbued throughout the entire process because if you don't believe you can
