The magic formula when doing things

It has been a while since my last article, more than 1,5 years. I realized too much thinking/writing is garbage, doing/execution is everything. We need more of DO, less Socrates.

The magic formula when doing things? I like these four:

• consistency + resilience
• cojones
• willingness to look stupid
• do nothing alternative

consistency + resilience

Do it everyday, everyday a little bit, even if not feeling it, try/fail as many times as needed, get knocked—get up again, call unlimited amount of people to get what you want.

cojones = balls

Did you hear that one: "The biggest risk is not taking any risk." I heard if from Marky — Facebook sheriff. Playing it safe kills growth, excitement.

willingness to look stupid

This is a must characteristic to have/develop if you want to keep trying new things. Hormozi keeps shouting about this one and he is damn right.

The point of your first whatever attempt is not to excel, the point is just to start somewhere, look stupid as a beginner, now you have the ground to level up.

do nothing alternative

Oh, we meet again, there is already an article about this one.

We live in a world full of distractions, it is so easy to get swept away from the task you were supposed to be doing, everything is a couple of clicks away.

When on a task, specially if it is unpleasant, your mind always looks for alternatives, gives you more attractive suggestions of what you could be doing now instead. That is alright, just do not engage, ghost those thoughts, wait for them to go through.

The nothing alternative: do, what you were supposed to be doing, or do nothing instead.
