Episode notes
Intelligence Is Measured By Results
- Intelligence alone doesn't guarantee getting what you want in life or financial freedom.
- Sharran argues the true test of intelligence is using your smarts to achieve desired outcomes.
Manufacture Responsibility, Don't Buy It
- Do not buy accountability programs as a substitute for genuine commitment.
- Manufacture responsibility for your goals instead of outsourcing your discipline.
Battle-Test Goals With Anonymity
- Test your commitment by asking, 'Would I still do this if no one ever knew?'.
- If the answer is no, you likely lack true desire and responsibility for that goal.
