#3507: The “Avoidance List”

In this episode, I talk about the idea of the avoidance list and why success is more about what you don’t do than what you do. This comes from a story in the book The Third Door and a strategy often linked to Warren Buffett, even though he didn’t actually create it. The idea is simple: pick your top five goals and avoid the other twenty, not because they’re bad, but because they distract you. Focus is limited, and trying to do everything weakens your results. I will explain why a “not-to-do” list might be more powerful than any to-do list.

Show Notes:

[03:53]#1 Most people fail through too much addition, not through subtraction. 

[10:25]#2 True power is in restraint, not commitment. 

[15:19]#3 Discipline creates presence.
