Why Top Producers, Elite Athletes, and Superstar CEOs Embrace "Mundanity"
The best influencers (and elite athletes, artists and inventors) are boring. They are all about Mundanity: repeating the same few habits every single day (whether they feel like performing them or not) until these consistent practices incrementally morph into a tsunami of victory. Success lies in a masterful consistency around the fundamentals (please read that thrice). Don’t complicate things. Just repeat a few routines staggeringly well. I recall learning from the excellent documentary Tyso...

How Billionaires Do It
To become a billionaire help a billion people lead greater lives. Income always follows impact.

Mastery is a process, not an event. It’s so easy to be hypnotized by society into thinking that the superstars among us woke up one day rejoicing in their newfound heightened state of greatness. Pure myth. Study Da Vinci and Buffet, Beethoven and Serena Williams, Kobe and Nikola Tesla and you’ll see that their unusually excellent performance was caused by their uncommon devotion to a journey. ...Their genius was not natural but constructed. ...Their luminosity wasn’t inborn. It was made. ......

The Highest Impact Leaders Are All Contrarians [6-Minute Episode]
The highest impact leaders all have one trait in common: they are extreme contrarians. They were seen by the majority as radicals, misfits and eccentrics. They saw what most see and thought what few think. They rejected the mass hypnosis and schooled brainwashing of society. That says that geniuses are cut from a different cloth, that your ethical ambitions should be suppressed and that your life needs to be reasonable. Makes me think of the words of George Bernard Shaw who wrote: “The reas...
