What's essential in your life? It's time to ask some tough questions – the kind that will unlock your potential and greatness!
In this episode, we explore some of the insights from the book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown. As we discuss, life is full of tradeoffs, and saying "yes" to everything is a losing strategy. Instead, we need to quit straddling, set some guardrails for ourselves, and get focused on the essential few rather than the trivial and mediocre many.
What's your mission in life? Once you define that, you can start setting up some criteria to guide when you say "yes" and "no" in life. Being able to prioritize and filter all life's opportunities is the key to creating the life you want and achieving high performance.
