CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Just finished Is This Anything? – Seinfeld

A few things struck me from a self-leadership standpoint:

Relentless pursuit of his priorities. – At one point he talks about when he was young that comedy was all he really wanted to do and he realized that it was a tough way to make a living, but if he could just make enough to buy a jar of Skippy PB & a loaf of Wonderbread each week, he could survive and it would be worth it. – Relentless pursuit of your priorities will mean giving up other good things.

Willingness to fail & the discipline to learn from those failures. Jerry talks about the way he develops new material: the same way that all comics get new material—by going out to the clubs and trying it out. And when he’s in that mode of working on new material, if he goes out and does a thirty minute set and comes away with one bit that gets a laugh, it was all worth it. Here’s a guy who has a rare level of success because he understands and respects how rare success is. If he only fails 90% of the time, it was worth it to him. And he’s going to go home, reflect on what didn’t work, make what did work even better, and try again the next day. I think there’s a lot to be said for being willing to try something new and understanding that even if you fail, you’ll learn.

That’s the challenge for each of us this week: to be willing to make the sacrifices necessary to chase what really matters to you, to not be so scared as to be unwilling to fail, and if you do fail to treat it as a learning opportunity.

Ripped off Extreme Ownership – Jocko Willink and Leif Babin, former Navy SEALs.

“there are no bad teams, only bad leaders”

in terms of setting and enforcing standards and expectations, “it’s not what you preach, it’s what you tolerate.”

Think about that in your work. But also think about that at a personal level. What are you tolerating? 

Challenge today is to Take extreme ownership of your personal and professional life and lead yourself & those around you to becoming the very best version of themselves

MOLESKIN:

It was great to be back with a solid group of HIMs. Really appreciated the push from Trunk.
