NOTE

Exceptional People Pulling in Ideas from Outside Their Fields

Exceptional people have the ability to pull in exceptional things from outside their own fields and ways of thinking. This includes looking at non-traditional ways of doing things, such as the fire movement or incorporating art into their work. Collaboration and using things in unique ways can push us past our boundaries. We can all find hacking ways to think differently and be creative. Stealing ideas from other disciplines, like artists or affiliate marketers, can make us exceptional in our own fields. It's important to challenge ourselves and seek inspiration from various sources, including autobiographies, philosophy, and other fields. Ruts can hinder our growth, so we must constantly expand and challenge ourselves to think in new and novel ways.
