Key points
1
Success is built sequentially; itās one thing at a time
There are a lot of people who are passionate about many things. They then try to be good at what they are passionate about. For example, a man can want to learn the guitar, play soccer, be a lecturer at a university, and at the same time be a chef. He wants to do all these because he is passionate about them. This man can do all those things in his lifetime, but he canāt do them all at once. And more importantly, he canāt excel in every field if he isnāt willing to invest time towards mastering them. This is the problem with many people. They spread themselves too thin by going after too many things at the same time. As a result, they end up not achieving much. If you want to make long term changes in your life, choose one thing and focus your energy on being phenomenal in that area.
Amazing results are directly dependent on how narrow you can make your focus.
