So much of life is preparing. You prepare meals, your workday, a speech, for school, for life, for a holiday, for death.
Life is a series of events that you prepare for and then experience. Sometimes the preparation is minimal and other times it is extensive. You’re best to prepare a little more though as it usually means a better result for the event.
People reveal so much in what they say.
Remember that what they say, says more about what they are thinking, than anything they are talking about.
Culture eats strategy for breakfast, said somebody somewhere.
It’s pretty important.
Have one or two of these a day and notice the momentum shift in your favour in the next week.
Build this up to 10 or 20 per day and your life will be unrecognisable in a month.
If you have any goals (and you should have several!), you must remember to review and track your progress against your ambitious timeline.
If you don’t review and track, and keep to a tight and specific timeline, you greatly decrease your chances of success. If you’re honest with yourself, you know this is true.
People won’t review and track because they get lazy, or scared they aren’t making progress, or they think they’re doing great, so why bother.
There steps are a critical element in achieving anything you want in life.
If you want a deeper dive on review and tracking, or goal getting in general, it’s all simply laid out in my bestselling book, Achieve Anything (on Amazon, Audible, and other online book retailers around the globe). https://scottsbook.com/

The vast majority of people want the same thing. And mostly for the same reason. Many will even concede they’d be happy with various methods to make the desired outcome.
But then some people get tribal, competitive and socially influenced. Why is that? It’s like a giant magnet. ????
Wonder why this happens. The secret of the universe is in there.
Save, invest and grow your money. You can reinvest the growth part. You can also spend it. But protect your capital as a high priority.
If you lose some or all of your capital, it can be very hard to replace. It takes more time and effort and is not always ideal.
Put guardrails in place to preserve your capital. Get great people working on growing it.
What exactly do you intend to do during the next 10 years? Build a business? Will revenue reach £1m or £3 billion?
Where will you travel? Who will you spend your time with?
Make your heart race. Feel alive!
Turn the page and don’t look back. Go after your dream. Move on to the next chapter.
What do you actually know is true? If you hear something from a friend, the news or a politician, how can you know what they are saying is actually verifiably correct?
Many people assume they are being told the correct information. And yet, they may not be. Go explore the opposite and see if it could be true.
You want to think your sources are so much better but perhaps they are more biased than you ever noticed. Look into it. Deeply. You may surprise yourself.
