9 Lessons From the Book “Your Next Five Moves”

1⃣ Know What You Want

👉 You need to identify what matters the most to you to put a strategy together that fits your level of commitment and vision.

Making a plan and committing to it will unleash all the energy and discipline you’ll ever need.

2⃣ Define your purpose by asking:

🔴 How do you want to be remembered?

🔴 How do you want to make an impact on other people’s lives?

🔴 What does the greatest version of yourself look like?

3⃣ Find Your “Blue Ocean”

Rather than competing in games where you’re an underdog, find unexplored new markets in which you can win.

🚫 Don’t complain that the game is rigged. Instead, find a game in which you have a differential advantage.

4⃣ Act, Act, Act

👉 You will never reach your goals unless you act like the person you want to be from the very beginning.

The same is true for a company. For any company to be great, it needs to act like a great company long before it ever became one.

5⃣ Power Of Processing Issues

Before you act on a problem, you must first “process” what’s happening.

🤠 Great processing involves:

1. The ability to make effective decisions

2. Subjecting every difficult choice to a rigorous mental analysis

3. Playing out strategies

6⃣ Eight Traits to become a great processor:

1. Ask lots of questions

2. Don’t care about being right or wrong

3. Don’t make excuses

4. Embrace challenges

5. Be curious

6. Prevent more problems than you solve

7. Learn to negotiate

8. Focus on permanently solving a problem

7⃣ Build Right Team

Working effectively with others means the difference between enjoying the process and desperately seeking a day job while hiding under your desk.

🔴 Instead of being selfish and looking to see what you could take from others, focus on what you could give them

8⃣ Create A Replacement Game Plan

🤓 The less your business depends on you, the more valuable it is.

As your company grows, you will constantly replace yourself with others.
