Doctors are their own worst patients. Most of us are really bad at taking our own advice. This is why trying playing both doctor and patient is unreliable.
One way to quickly clarify a difficult decision is to imagine advising your best friend. How would you advise them?
Resumes are often filled with words like great communication skills, results-oriented, and top-notch sales professional, prompting recruiters and hiring managers’ eyes to glaze over.
Great communicators communicate well. Results-oriented people accomplish more. And great sales people sell more.
Exceptional people leave a trail of evidence. A well-done resume shows relevant accomplishments, starting with verbs (Increased sales by 18%) rather than tell by using adjectives.
“Don’t tell me how hard you worked, show me what you accomplished.”- Andrew G. Acho”
Shane Parrish uses a simple truth. The bill comes first. The reward comes later. We train before we compete. We build trust before we are trusted. We pay now, results follow.
Modern life trains us to expect the opposite. We live in the house before the mortgage is paid. We eat the meal before the bill arrives.
That mismatch explains why most people quit. They pay a little, don’t see progress fast enough, and stop. The fix is not more effort. It is better leverage. Identify the few critical actions that create visible progress in week one, not month three.
