Why Working Harder Won't Save You (And What Will) | Price Pritchett

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1862DM There's a fly dying on a windowsill. It's throwing every last bit of energy at a pane of glass it will never break through. The door is open 10 feet away. Price Pritchett built a whole philosophy around that image. He calls it selective persistence. The problem isn't your effort. It's your direction. And most people never stop long enough to find out which one is failing them. A goal that scares you is actually the tool. When there's no way your current approach gets you there, you're forced to innovate. Comfortable goals just buy you more of the same. He also names what stops people cold: we weigh the losses heavier than the potential gains. We catastrophize, we stall, we quit romancing the dream. His answer? Play the hand you've got. Even bad cards win when you play them right.
