Episode 42: The Most Valuable Entrepreneurship Advices In The World In One Podcast Episode
Discipline Outweighs Passion
- Success is driven far more by consistent discipline than by raw talent or passion.
- Doing boring, daily work and delaying gratification predicts long-term success.
Agency Growth Came From Relentless Routine
- Sun describes how his agency stalled until necessity forced daily discipline.
- When he stopped tinkering and showed up, the agency finally began to grow.
Passion Comes From Competence And Impact
- Passion grows from competence and visible impact, not from chasing a preexisting feeling.
- Getting good and helping others are the twin engines of lasting passion.
This was probably the most insightful podcast episode we've done so far. We talked about everything from career, passion, life, spirituality, parenting, and of course money.
