Re: Focus

Gonzalo Arzuaga — Thu, 16 Aug 2018 06:24:40 -0000

This post resonated with me, so much so that I wanted to share a story I learned the hard way back when I was 8. Our science teacher told us to do the typical experiment holding a magnifying glass towards a piece of paper, using the heat power of the sun. Because I was anxious to get more done at once, I spread five or six pieces of paper on the floor, trying to provide some heat, one at a time.

Long story short, I couldn't light any of the pieces into flames, obviously. The moment I concentrated the heat on one, I wanted to move to warming another one 'because that didn't burn'. Little did I know I was discovering back then the magic principle of focus: you have to stick with one long enough to make it burn.

The corollary was that my teacher was smart enough to share with me some wisdom: if you'd stayed with one long enough, until it burned, with that one on fire you could light up the remaining pieces in a second. Touche. Never forgot that lesson, but painfully hard to do.

Re: Is Buying Crypto Assets “Investing”

It seems to me that Buffett sees investments as COWs that have to produce milk. He's being doing it wildly successfully over the last 50 years. But when he sees crypto he asks himself: "Where's the milk?". Nowhere to be found... yet.

Bryan,

Pretty sleek implementation of a concept I liked in the past, but forgot about it because it wasn't served in a silver platter.

Now I have no more excuses :) Thanks dude, great post

Also Josh, it'd be very helpful to somehow see the posts by date. Because you mention a lot "tomorrow i'll tell you"... and with only 4 related posts at the bottom of the page, is a hit or miss (most probably) thing. Just my 2 cents :)

That takes me to Idea #1: put together an "Email Courses 101" ebook compiling, organizing, polishing and strategizing your top 30 or so posts.

Haha! Dude, you da man!

btw, when you check your analytics, and you see 1 freak that checked 200 pages of your blog in, like 2 days, and spent something like a gazillion hours on your site... well, you're looking at him :)

P.S. Maybe create an Email Course that goes for "How People That Hate Selling Can Sell Like Crazy...With Email Courses" My 2 cents, free to you, hey I 'have' to give back, right? Cialdini at play here haha.

Josh,

I think it's an amazing point you're raising with your post here. Thank you for that.
You hit the nail right in the head. We, first timers in Email Courses, believe that if we give them our best stuff they'll love it and then buy. But I like the analogy with kids (I have a 2 kids at home, ages 3.5 and 6 months) when you say "Want people to eat all their food? Have them starving for 4 days!"

The analogy to the "free" email course (permission to spam :) is amazing.
Right now I'm just learning how to shift the wrong mindset (feed them, teach them in the free course) to the "get them hungry" talking about the what, not the how.

Learning from you, who else :)
