You need to start to measure the process. The details will separate you from the losers in life.

Vision: If you do not have one it will be 10 times harder.  

Take action, observe the action you now have a result. Reflect over the result and what you did to get it. This = Data.

Action

First step is to do something. Anything that you want to become, achieve or win.

If you want to be salesman, try to sell something, if you want to be a football player start to play. You get it?

If you want to be a winner, do what winners do in any field. Observe what they say, what they do and you will soon discover that the principle of winners is very similar across different fields.

Observation

When you act you also need to observe. Observation is the key to understand what is going on.

Imagine that you want to run a marathon under 2h 10min. First you should ask yourself has anyone done it before? If so, observe what they look like and what their habits are like.

On your first run pay attention to how it feels and measure the time.

Result

If you did not hit the desired result the first time, you have to break it down.

Reflection

What did you do before, during and after the run? stretch it out to days, weeks, months and even years.

Data

Use software tools to collect the data like Notion, Evernote or the HWL-Tracker that you can find here. Pen and paper also still works last time i checked. Try 10 times and measure it, after the 10^th time you have a small amount of data. This will act as a base. Double down on the things that gave you the best result 10 times more and now you have a new base better than the last one. From here we keep going till we hit our desired result.

By collecting data, we can identify a good pattern and a bad pattern in time before the cost of losing gets too high.

Failure is part of success. Pain and Reflection = Progress. The reflection part is very important!

What is the probability that something will occur based on what we know to be true?

The sun will rise today is a high probability event and so is the fact that it will go down today. The data is solid it’ s been doing it for millions of years.

predicting rain tomorrow requires more data because it doesn’t happen every day and varies a lot depending on where you are in the world.

many factors come into play to increase one’s ability to predict if it will rain tomorrow VS if the sun will rise

The value lies within the hardship

//Never give up – evolve & get better.
