You Can Win Big Because Most Of it is Just Common Sense

Most big wins come down to common sense: start something and commit to it formally. Set a date, declare you're rolling, and lay the first brick. Your subconscious solves problems once you've actually begun.
Many of the lessons about winning are just obvious common sense. For example, at some point, you've got to start. And we all know this, but people think they procrastinate, they go around. But the deal is you got to ask, you've got to realize until you get going, nothing's going to happen until you buy a ticket. You're not going to win the lottery. So it's very important that you get clear with your head. You know, you got to coach yourself at least through the starting line. Like, we are started. I'm rolling. Make it official or put it on the calendar. Get a tentative date on the calendar. We're going to start by such and such date, and if we don't get it done by such and such date, then we're going to rent, evaluate the date and move it forward. But at least get a tentative date on there. And when you do start, say, hey, we're started, we're rolling. Because you got to at least tell yourself that you're rolling. Otherwise, you know, your brain, your subconscious is not going to be working on solving all of the problems that you're going to face, you have to deal with as you move forward. So at some point, you got to start. And Rome wasn't built to the day. Nothing's built to today. But at some point, somebody's got to lay the first brick, and it's got to be official. It's not, did we start? Not start. It's kind of like being married. You know, you. You have a ceremony and you sign the paper and you're married now. You're not just living together and kind of committed, maybe, maybe going together, girlfriend, boyfriend, this. You know, at some point you've got to make a commitment to these things that are important to you, these projects that are in your head. Otherwise they'll never become reality. And it's a simple thing, but something that we need to be told or we need to tell ourselves. And I hate to even say it, it's so obvious, but it's necessary.
