THE High Performance Blueprint? Nah.

A COOKIE CUTTER CURRICULUM ON LEARNING AND PERFORMING AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS POSSIBLE....
Will never exist.
Not an effective one, anyway.
The teacher/mentor would have to focus on teaching the curriculum instead of progressing the student.
The student would have to focus on “learning” the curriculum instead of applying it to their life.
The most perspicacious of students will be able to distill the curriculum into something practically application BUT it would be an uphill battle....
Valuable bandwidth being blown on the unnecessary resistance.
Science shows that learning demands open-ended exploration just beyond individual limits....
Which means in order to learn you must come to an impasse- skill is a result of struggle.
And....
Since the purpose of this community is to make High Performance your default, you’ll never be handed be a step by step guide....
The blueprint of your perfect life, what will make you happiest, is different than mine...
So following the exact same steps seems nonsensical- even if you win the race you’re winning MY race, not yours ??
WHAT, THEN, ARE WE HERE TO DO?
?Help you struggle.
Eliminate the inefficient struggles so that energy can be redirected to the productive stuff.
? Provide new perspective
Funny how, from a new position, a problem can be seen as an opportunity.
? Cut through the BS
The “high performance” stuff out there is.... for lack of a better word.... disappointing. It’s all tactical- nothing fundamental. We don’t need tactics to be our best, we need principles that produce accurate thinking patterns.
? Friendships.
That’s right.... you call it “networking” but we don’t “network “ because networking is often code for “pretend to be interested for self serving purposes”
Not around here. We develop meaningful FRIENDSHIPS and are dedicated to doing what’s best for one another. Swelling tide.
Too “soft” for ya? Cool. Get out ??
The value is going to start rolling in but ONLY if you aren’t too lazy (or distracted) to process deeply and extract it.
?
Speaking of value - tag one or two people in this group that is someone you know makes you a better performer(or person) just be being present. I’ll start below.
If they aren’t in here... why not!? Get em invite

6 年Great article, Nick. Thanks for sharing. I really hate that most people nowadays just want the Ultimate Shortcut to live their life or do be successful at a certain thing. If everything has a shortcut and nothing is hard to achieve anymore, would achievement be still meaningful??
