My friend Nathan Latka said this quote when we chatted recently.  It couldn’t be more accurate. In this episode I talk about some of the realities of balance vs. unbalance, and what they really mean. Listening to this episode may make you re-consider which is a better route for you. The truth is, most people don’t really understand unbalance, as they’ve never really experienced it, or the rewards of what it an bring you. There’s no right or wrong way to live, but listening to this episode may help you decide what’s best for you.

Are you going after a home run, or a single or double? Most people, not excluding myself, tend to do things in a much smaller way than they could be done. Most people assume a home run business must be substantially riskier, and assume that someone smarter than they are will make the home run money. The reality is, because everyone thinks in that way, a lot of times the home run business is no more competitive than the single or double would be. If you’re going to spend your time on something anyways, at least consider the possibility of spending that time in a way that gets you a substantially bigger payoff.

It’s chicken and egg. If you’re not going to fully commit to something until you know it’s going to be a massive success, you need to understand that it can’t be the success you’re hoping for until you give your full commitment. The greatest payoffs come with full commitment. Your payoff could be right around the corner, but you won’t find out unless you commit.

I recently shared an idea I had with someone who runs a 9-figure business. He gave me ideas for how to do the idea in ways I hadn’t been thinking about. It shouldn’t be a surprise though. He operates at a much different level than I do, so he does things in a very different way. Even if the five people you spend the most time with are good, chances are you all see things in a similar way. Get outside your normal network and talk with people who play at a different level than you do. You’ll start to see things in ways you haven’t considered before.

Everyone can make progress towards their goals on the easy days. It’s the people who still put the work in on the hard days that essentially guarantee themselves success.
