Episode notes
Stillness and High Performance
- Stillness is essential for high performance, especially in busy environments.
- It involves slowing down mentally and simplifying complex situations, not just physical inactivity.
The Slowing Down Effect
- High performers, like athletes, experience a slowing down of the game as they achieve mastery.
- This allows them to see opportunities others miss and control their emotions under pressure.
Free Content Strategy
- Share insights and content freely along the way, rather than keeping everything for a paid product.
- This helps build an audience and establish a direct relationship with consumers.
