Often the way we try to achieve success is doomed from the start, so today we are going to break down the science of success. What makes some individuals and brands succeed whilst others don’t? What are the common mindset problems with projects that fail? How can you create a framework that sets you up to get traction and win? How can you make your work or yourself the obvious choice? This episode is especially useful for entrepreneurs and creatives wanting their projects to stand out and gain an audience. It will also help individuals who want to stand out in their careers and work smarter, not harder. We dive into first principles thinking and use physics and the nature of reality to explain the fundamental laws behind why individuals succeed and fail. - - - On the growth mindset podcast with Sam Webster Harris, we explore the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement. Success and happiness is a state of mind unique to ourselves and is our responsibility to create.
