Key Ideas
Clarity
First, you have to know what you want. Sometimes this is best discovered by knowing what you don’t want. This can only be accomplished by trying, experimenting, and taking action.
Keep moving forward. In doing so, you will feel inspired to take action in one direction instead of another.
Focus
Once you become clear about what you want to do, identify the tasks that help you make the most progress.
If you can discipline yourself to work on high-value tasks, your life will change for the better.
Goal Setting
Goal setting gives your mind something to focus on. If you don’t give your mind something to go after, it won’t know what to do. Use the SMART criteria for setting goals:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Realistic
- Timely
Action
Once you’ve set your goal, it’s time to start taking massive action.
If you want to succeed at anything, you have to become relentless.
Trial & Error
Becoming successful is all about trial and error. Be willing to try different things until you succeed. Don't fall from one thing to another. Give it a good chance first.
Pick one thing that has been proven to work, and stay focused until you make it work.
Action Steps
- Define what you want. What is the final result you are after? Do you want better relationships, financial independence or something else?
- Set a SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely) goal. Write down 10 things you want to accomplish in the next 12 months.
- Write your most important goal at the top of a blank sheet of paper and brainstorm ways to make it happen. Do this until you feel you can’t come up with any more ways, then push yourself to come up with more.

Always Default To Action
Spend some time planning. Then spend a lot more time doing. If you're unsure, do something -- and then react appropriately.
It's easy to think and plan and evaluate yourself out of ever starting a side hustle. See starting a side business as the grand experiment it is. Never forget that the fun is in the doing -- not the thinking.
Only do What Generates Revenue
You may need to spend some time on admin and infrastructure. But you don't need fancy spreadsheets, comprehensive reports, a catchy brand or a mission statement.
Successful side-hustlers focus on selling and working. Anything else is time taken away from generating revenue.

The labels you put on yourself
They shape your actions. If you think of yourself as lazy or weak, you act in accordance with that label.
Instead of placing labels on yourself, try making statements indicating you’re in the process of improving. Change “I am” to “I’m working on it.”
