Episode notes
Force Decisions
- Force decisions by restricting choices, like ranking 1-10 but disallowing 7.
- This avoids non-committal answers and reveals true preferences.
Clean No's
- Give clean "no's" upfront instead of postponing.
- Delaying rejection creates false hope and makes the eventual "no" harder.
Focus on Skills and Relationships
- Focus on skill and relationship development over project outcomes.
- Even if projects fail, accumulated skills and connections lead to long-term success.
