This is literally the greatest time to be alive and an entrepreneur in human history. There will be more cataclysmic change and chaos—brought to proper order—in the next three to five years than in all of human history combined. Pair that with the greatest wealth transfer the planet has ever known, and you begin to understand what's at stake.
As a high-performance entrepreneur—or any individual, for that matter—it will be imperative to move at the speed of light. You cannot afford to wait. You cannot afford to let fear get the best of you.
The status quo, the cheap seats, the mediocre and lackluster—they will do what they always do. They will play the naysayer and the clever contrarian. They will wait because they fear the unknown. They will not move because they will claim it's a security threat. They will do and say all the things they always say. This is the retail trader mindset. This is the very nature of the cheap seats.
You cannot afford to listen to them. You cannot afford to dawdle.
This is an opportunity for those who have actual skillsets and capabilities—and yet possess the abnormal mindset and disposition to take on an immense amount of workload, risk, and exposure. Nature rewards those who are courageous. It punishes those who resist and lack faith.
THE IMPERATIVE
- Develop unquestionable faith in yourself and in what you are doing
- Never allow the vampires and werewolves to claw their way in and erode your mental fortitude
- Do not let anything detract or weigh you down
- Move at the speed of light—or be left far, far behind
Whether you are a high-performance entrepreneur or a high-performance athlete, the mandate is the same: steadfast self-belief, an authentic inner vision, and unshakable conviction. If you do not move at the speed of light, you will be left behind. Many bystanders will freeze with the proverbial deer-in-the-headlights look.
I have seen this at every turn of the ever-accelerating technological singularity. With the onset of the internet itself, the great majority of people didn't believe. They resisted. They did not capitalize on clear opportunities. This is because most people lack vision and conviction.
And you must not fear failure. Failure is our friend—but only if we have clarity and the critical skills necessary to identify specific breakdowns, so that we can modify our behavior and strategy accordingly.
We call this intelligence.
As Above, so below.
