Episode 276. Silly ideas only

All success and achievement starts in the mind. As Napoleon Hill says: “More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has been taken from the earth.” His book “Think and grow rich” is undoubtedly one of the all-time classics, but his authors note before he launches into the secret of wealth may be the best book introduction ever written. This alone has the power to transform your life. The challenge most people have with this notion however, is that when they look upstairs they find their thoughts are scattered, they don’t know what they want, and are not certain they have an idea of any value. The problem is, to live the meaningful and effective life you desire, you’ll have to develop and double down on one big idea above all others. So, having clear thoughts about what you really want and then organising those thoughts into a commitment to action is a non-negotiable part of success.If this feels overwhelming to you, I’ll show you exactly where to start in order to make instant progress here. On today’s episode I’ll explain how to play the ‘silly ideas only game’ and why this may be the only way to access the real vision you have for your life if you feel like you don’t know what you want.Also on this episode:How TEDx Canberra has been playing silly buggers with me,Why Steven Pressfield is entirely wrong about being at war with resistance,And why dealing with unresolved issues in your marriage could very well be the biggest thing in the way of your big idea seeing the light of day.
