You have a three year goal, break the frame. How could you achieve that goal in six months? What would be something so big that the goal that was going to take you three to six years is now going to take you six months? And I want you to spend some time on that. Spend a weekend deeply thinking about that idea. Because what you're going to do is you're going to come up with ideas. The business risk, that's super smart, but you haven't been wanting to take it. And I think most people, they wade in the shallows of life and you cannot have massive change by going shallow. I think they know deep down inside, but they get scared, scared just like I did. So they wait years to do the thing that they knew they should have done earlier. I think you've got to break your frame and say, I'm super capable. If I was going to do this crazy thing in six months, if anything was possible, if I really believed in myself, what could I do? Who could I go to that could make an unfair advantage for me?
