Mike Andes delivers a short, direct piece of business advice arguing that execution—not learning more or long-term planning—drives success. He emphasizes focusing on the single task directly in front of you and cutting out distracting voices, programs, and materials that prevent disciplined execution.
Is mentally stimulating to get a lot of opinions about your business or even learn new things. But learning new things and having a great plan doesn't make you successful. Great execution makes you successful. And the only thing you can do is currently one thing in front of you. Execute against that. Who cares about the ten year plan, the five year plan, the other thousand things you could be doing in your business? Focus on one thing. And if you getting a bunch of voices and coaches and programs and audiobooks and conferences in your head is going to distract you from that one thing, we might need to actually cut it out.
