Louis Massaro reflects on his personal evolution from early jobs to later entrepreneurial successes and setbacks, and argues that clear priorities, vision, and strategy are required to implement the limited set of actions that actually move the needle. He notes implementation can take time ("a year to implement stuff") and warns against overloading to-do lists without outcome-focused prioritization.
There's an evolution.
That needs to happen with all of us. Right? I'm a different person today than I was starting off at 19 years old in a truck rental yard, than I was at 23, making my first million, than I was at 27, getting in the long distance, not knowing my numbers, going through the recession. We evolve.
And as we evolve, one of the things for me that I realized, sometimes it takes me a.
Year to implement stuff.
I used to beat.
Myself up over it.
Why don't you do the shit you know you need to do? Because you're adding too much to the list, and you're not prioritizing it based on the outcomes that you really want, because you don't know what you really want, because you got no vision and strategy. But when you know what's important and you know exactly what's going to move the needle, implementation.
Is no longer a problem.
