Success Fundamentals

Helping High Performers Master Their Mindset?? Unlock Peak Performance & Achieve True Fulfillment!
The fundamentals are the basics. They’re not always the most exciting thing to learn or do, but they’re usually the most important. We like complicated stuff. We like to figure things out. Mastering the fundamentals of anything is hard and boring work.
But the fundamentals are the things that matter the most. You’re limiting your progress if you’re worrying about the details.
Keep these ideas in mind to stick to the basics, spend less time on the details, and enjoy greater success:
2. The fundamentals come into play more frequently than the details. The fundamentals are common - that’s what makes them fundamental. Everything builds off the fundamentals. Without good fundamentals, every other thing you do is built on shaky ground.
3. People fear becoming great at the fundamentals. It takes a lot of courage to truly master the fundamentals. It’s boring and challenging at the same time. If you want to get bigger and stronger, you need to ?bench press, squat, deadlift, and pullups. Most people would prefer to do curls while balancing on a stability ball.
4. The details are timewasters for most people. Why spend all your time tweaking your webpage when you don’t even have your first customer? Why worry about finding the perfect running shoes when you can’t run a mile yet?
5. The details only matter after the fundamentals are in place. Britain has recently become a powerhouse in cycling. They did studies on the best pillow and blanket to use at night, the optimal massage oil, the precise amount of carbohydrates in each meal, and so on.?
It’s not exciting to count calories or to do squats in the gym. Saving 10% of your salary doesn’t make for exciting conversation. But these are the things that matter.
Getting to the gym each day is more important than spending days trying to figure out the perfect workout routine. Picking up the phone and making your cold calls is more important than worrying about the perfect time and day to make those calls.
Get the fundamentals in order before worrying about the details and you’ll find greater success - sooner than you thought!
