Evan Carmichael argues your environment is designed to keep you stuck unless you change it. Surround yourself with high achievers like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, and tackle tasks that scare you. That fear signals growth.
Your environment has been perfectly designed to keep you where you are. But if you start hanging around Alain, you start hanging around Steve Jobs and Elon Musk and these other people, they will pull you into a different field of possibility, whether that's in-person events, whether that's events that you could eventually go to, whether that's books that you can read, whether that's videos that you can watch, podcasts you can listen to. So start to choose your environment so that you're not stuck where you are is step 1. And then step 2, to believe in yourself, is to do difficult things. A lot of the things that we want to do, we'll tell ourselves, I can't do that. I'm too afraid to do that. It's too scary. It's too difficult. When I say to myself, scary, difficult, or hard, that means I have to do it.
