A homeschooling parent explains their approach to teaching hard subjects: identify what's difficult, then find the easiest way to master it by combining textbooks, videos, and other resources. The strategy works for business too, where smart shortcuts accelerate progress toward ambitious goals.
Do hard things uneasy. This is a slogan I often use with my children. I homeschool my two sons, and we talk about like the hard things we're going to tackle, and we accept that they're going to be hard things. And then we ask, okay, what's the easy way for us to tackle this? How can we get more of this information into our brains with less friction? How can we make more progress? And so we take these, you know, super hard topics, we look for different textbooks, we look for different ways that we can learn these things using combination of videos and and books, etc. And like, what is it that you can do in your business to accomplish your more aggressive goals that allow you to play on easy? I think often we see the hard things, we turn away, we try to do easy things instead of the hard things. But I think there are ways that we can sort of, you know, turn this around and find the way to cut the corner. That's going to be how we make a lot more progress in a much shorter period of time, finding ways to do hard things on easy.
