INSIGHT

Hard Work Means Facing Unknowns

  • Hard work is solving problems you don't know how to solve yet and accepting repeated failure as part of the process.
  • Growth requires confronting unknowns and taking action despite being wrong multiple times.
INSIGHT

Comfort Feels Productive But Is Stagnation

  • Entrepreneurs often default to solving problems they already know how to fix because it feels rewarding and fast.
  • Avoiding the hard priority keeps the real obstacle (the level three boss) waiting and prevents meaningful progress.
ADVICE
