How I broke out of my prison
Hi Sophie,
This step was about the $32K Brain Budget and Amazon.com.
This step started off with a new concept for me – Minoring in major issues, and majoring in minor issues, and accurately doing an audit of my financial life. Ugh…. Continue reading “Step 19”
This step is about humility. Something everybody seems to think they have.
The first principle he gives is that the world is full of people with outward humility. I see that as self deprecating… it seems everyone does that to some extent. But true humility would be something like what Michael Jordan had, which was not outwardly visible. Only the people closest to him observed that they never saw anyone so teachable, so willing to take direction and make it instinctually part of who he is… Continue reading “Step 3”
Hi Sophie,
This step is about ‘Failing to Fail’, a totally new concept for me, and also ‘not crashing your F22’. This step along with the last 2 are really showing me a picture of how I have been viewing, and living, my life, which I never noticed before, but now it’s glaringly obvious.
I knew I hadn’t been ‘driving’ my life, but these steps are really showing me how and why. Continue reading “Step 26”
Hi Sophie,
This step is about why restaurants Fail – controlling all three of the classic factors of production.
Initially I wasn’t sure if I could relate to this one, but it turned out to be a really interesting way of looking at success in any area of life, and being able to assess if something has what it takes to succeed, or why something failed, and in doing so being able to see patterns that help us make better decisions in all areas of life, and to actually drive our decisions rather than just going where we’re expected to go or taking whatever comes up.

The Billionaire’s Brain, & Jennifer Lopez’s voice
He starts this out saying that if you get this one wrong, you won’t get anything else right…I guess I hadn’t realized how true that is before. This step, as I saw it, was primarily about awareness. Continue reading “Step 1 The Billionaire’s Brain, & Jennifer Lopez’s voice”
Step 2
Hi Sophie,
This step is the Blue Footed Booby Birds, ESS and the 500-year old mind. Another one that Tai mentions is foundational, that not much else works without this one.
This step starts with a principle, from a quote, that change is the basic law of nature, and that it’s not the strongest or most intellectual that survives, but the one who can change and ADAPT. Another principle here is, it’s the INTANGIBLES that determine success. Continue reading “Step 2 Blue Footed Booby Birds, ESS, the 500-year old mind”
Hi Sophie,
This step is ‘The frontman, and 2 ways to pick your trench mate.’
This one was, to me, an interesting way of looking at life as a ‘team effort’… Continue reading “Step 27 The frontman, and 2 ways to pick your trench mate.”
Hi Sophie,
This step is about ‘Annihilating the Amygdala, and MPFC Mastery’. This one is sooo interesting.
He starts this out first by explaining that when he started these 67 steps, he hadn’t completed this last one yet, to illustrate a principle that the founder of Linkedin said – that if you’re not a little embarrassed of your first product, you waited too long to launch the business. Continue reading “Step 67 Annihilating the Amygdala, and MPFC Mastery”
Hi Sophie,
This step is about ‘forgetting who’s in the room’… avoiding this success ‘faux pas’.
The first principle here is that when it comes to getting the good life in all 4 areas of life, and achieving the kind of success that most people never get close to achieving or even aspire to, one of the main causes is that
