In game theory, there are finite games and infinite games. Finite games have known players, agreed upon rules, and a win-lose outcome. Infinite games have both known and unknown players, no rules, and the goal is to keep the game going. Many people mistakenly try to apply finite rules to infinite games, leading to failure. The Vietnam War is an example of this, where the US lost because they were playing to win, while the Vietnamese were playing to stay alive and keep fighting. Most worthwhile games are infinite, like getting in shape, staying married, or running a business. Success is an infinite game where the goal is to keep doing the things that make you successful, and by doing so, you are winning.
Alex Hormozi is a founder, investor and an author.
Alex's Twitter has been one of my favourite sources of great insights over the last year. Today we get to go through some of my favourite lessons from him about life, human behaviour, psychology, business and resilience. This is really good.
Expect to learn how your ego is keeping you poor, why you never need to care about what anyone else thinks of you, why having a life that sucks is actually a blessing, whether most easy opportunities are just distractions, how to conquer your tiny impulses, why you are built to deal with things being hard, how to beat anyone who ever copies you and much more...
