Building the Team Is the Main Thing Every Time
There are no exceptions
For most people, there is one “main thing” — that if done regularly, repeatedly, and consistently — will lead to disproportionate successful results.
But what is that elusive “main thing”? And how do we figure it out?
For me, it all comes down to food. Permit me to explain with a realization that struck me a few years ago.
The Ingredients Make the Meal
For many years, I would go to restaurants and wonder how certain meals could just be incredible. I would search for recipes and try to replicate them at home. In most cases, I felt disappointment when my home-cooked meals did not match the meals that I experienced.
What was different? How could my food not match the meals that I loved? I kept asking myself these questions as the recipes were not matching my expectations.
I double-checked the process that I followed. I had followed the recipes exactly — to the ounce. There was no human error involved. When the recipe called for salt, I measured precisely and added salt. When the recipe called for pepper, I pulled pepper out of my pantry and added the exact measurement.
