How to Get Ahead In Life

7 Superior Systems

Superior Performance Systems.

Hey friend,

Hope you’re thriving.

You know, I always would always wonder when I was younger;

What separates people that “make it” in life than those that don’t (despite working hard)

Honestly it could be a multitude of things but in the simplest terms I think it comes down to one thing ; Their thinking.

The great ones just think different.

They don’t just work harder all the time. They have plans, they have systems, strategies and steps. That’s why they climb the ladder faster.

Today I’m here to level up your “life” game.

Qualities I’ve noticed in successful people:

They know how to be maximally productive
They know how to manage their money
They know how to learn things quickly
They focus on good communication
They learn from their mistakes
They know how to be likable
They make quick decisions

Today we will talk about 7 systems so you can do all these things (with ease) too.

20% Savings

2. How to Beat Perfectionism (70-20-10 Rule)

The #1 way to get better at doing something? Doing it a lot.

5. How to Learn from Your Mistakes (After Action Review)

  1. What did I intend to accomplish?

  2. What happened?

  3. Why did it happen that way?
