Don't Expect Level 10 When You're Avoiding level 1.

In partnership with

Let’s talk about it.

The complex stuff is cool right? But we forget to master the basics.

Even those who achieve mastery still revert to basic-level actions.

In case you’re confused, this relates to almost anything you’ll come across in life.

• You want to be a chess grandmaster but you don’t know basic openings

• You want to draw with accuracy but you don’t know your way around the pencil shades.

• You want to be proficient in all the swimming techniques but you struggle with a basic front stroke.

• You want five-figure followers on gram but you’re not willing to provide value or engage.

You’re waiting for it to be dropped into your lap. And by the time you’ve wasted time just waiting around rather than doing, you’ve neglected starting messy.

That’s what complexity does.

It makes you feel productive.

And it feels good, like you're building towards something.

It gives you control.

It keeps you in your head… where everything is still safe.

But it also keeps you stuck.

But you won’t get anywhere by remaining safe.

Shall I tell you the times I made real progress?

In the last 6 months it was through the consistent and simple actions.

It wasn’t because I found a genius strategy.

It was because I made things simple enough to repeat.

I wake up and have good days. I wake up and I have bad days.

Even when my body and mind didn’t feel like it.

Even when results were so damn slow.

Even when nobody was clapping or liking my stuff.

It’s about getting the boring and simple stuff done with a purpose. How else can I get accustomed to the actions to then build upon them and exceed them?

So hear this…

If your approach requires maximum energy, perfect conditions, or complete motivation, it’s already dying.

You’re waiting for factors that are almost nonexistent daily. They fluctuate and you want to waste time waiting when you could be getting started.

The people who win? They design for friction and messy conditions.

The top 1% expect off days. But they build systems so stupidly simple… they’re hard to skip. It’s almost like they know their purpose and they know what needs to be done to reach a certain goal.

So if you’ve been spinning in one place…

Still getting your methods ready

Still planning your process

Still organizing before launching

Here’s what you need to know:

Stop stacking the excuses; start stacking up the little wins.

It’s all done with some structure and starting messy in the hopes of refining your system along the way.

Simplicity isn’t weakness.

It’s sustainability.

Start with something small and boring. I’ve spoken before about making it so easy, you’ll feel dumb for not following through with it.

That’s why I say keep it stupidly simple.

There's a reason why Stan Lee created characters with names like Iron Man, Spider-Man and Silver Surfer.

They're too memorable to forget.

So understand that consistency doesn’t come from complexity.

It comes from making it easy.

The bottom line

I wasted a lot of time before researching and refining instead of pushing forward and just posting.

I want this as a reminder for you that you won’t find your potential unless you start small and keep it simple at first.

We want proficiency in that level 10 technique, but those at that stage had to master level 1 before moving up to the next.

It all starts with just starting.
