Going Back To The Basics
from A Phil Svitek Podcast - A Series From Your 360 Creative Coach · host Phil Svitek
I (Phil Svitek) will take you back to the basics. The basics of what, you might be thinking? It’s not the basics of any subject but rather the importance of allowing yourself to reset to a starting position. In every discipline there is a starting position. The thing or things you should learn first. In learning these, you can then advance to the next, more difficult part of that discipline. It’s like climbing stairs. You take one by one from the bottom until you get to the top. A lot of this is so plain and simple and yet every day people try to skip sections or whole parts entirely. They are too impatient. Learning the fundamentals seems boring and wasteful of their time. They want to be masters right away. Nothing in life works this way. Trust me. It may for a short time, more than likely attributed to dumb luck, but in time you’ll be exposed a fraud. In this lesson, I’ll highlight three things. First, how do we define the basics, secondly what does resetting to a starting position mean and three, why is it important for you to do so. To reinforce the lesson, I use quotes from Kobe Bryant, Jim Rohn, Gandhi, Vince Lombardi and others. Comment below with any questions or comments you have.
