• Billion dollar lesson over dinner

🤯 Billionaire Dinner Lesson:

Just the other day, I was chatting with one of our insightful private community members. He was in a bit of a conundrum, running a bunch of projects, each glittering with potential. But here’s the catch: none were quite hitting that success sweet spot.

Sounds familiar? We’ve all been there, haven’t we?

Here's a nugget of wisdom I shared with him, and now, with you: Spreading yourself too thin is like hunting for treasure with a metal detector in a rubber factory. Sure, there’s a buzz, but you’re not striking gold.

Back to the call: it reminded me of the dinner story of Bill Gates Sr., where two of the world's most successful men – Warren Buffet and Bill Gates Jr. (Microsoft dude) – were asked their secret sauce to success. Both of them responded with the exact same word: Focus.

They were talking about pouring energy and intent into one thing until it thrives. You can and should expand out, but as Ali Abdaal mentioned in my podcast episode with him all those years back, focus on one thing and then expand out as it grows.

So, dear reader, if you've got a million ideas dancing around, I urge you: choose one. Nurture it, feed it, and let it grow strong. Once it stands tall, you can dance with the next.

Remember, even the mightiest rivers start with a single drop.
