#3672: Your Decisions Matter MORE Than Your Effort

from Work On Your Game: Discipline, Structure, and Execution Under Pressure · host Dre Baldwin

I break down why effort is not the thing that decides your results. I share a story about a former Netflix CEO who realized his running through airports never really changed whether he made his flight or not. What mattered more was the decision he made before the run, like how he booked his travel in the first place. The same idea applies in life, where hustle and hard work can feel productive, but poor decisions will still lead you to poor outcomes. I talk about how real progress starts with choosing the right direction first, then putting in the effort after. Show Notes: [06:38]#1 Effort is the execution. Decisions determine direction. [11:41]#2 Outcome variance is often a decision issue, not a work issue. [18:14]#3 Hard work is used to compensate for weak decisions. [22:26] Recap Episodes Mentioned: 3410: The Lies Of Hustle Culture 1881: A Vaccine For Hustle Porn Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent.   It is a standard. If your results don’t match your ability, something in your approach is out of alignment. Most people do not have a motivation problem.   They have a consistency problem. Power Presence is the system for operating with greater discipline, clarity, structure, and execution under pressure.
