You don't need to read more, you don't need to learn more and you don't need another master class. What you need is the Pygmalion effect. Famed historian Will Durant explained it this way. The ability the average man could be doubled if it were demanded. If the situation demanded. In psychology they call it the Pygmalion effect. And what it means that as people we're either rising or falling to the expectations of those around us. When the demands are high, we show up. When they're low, we settle. Best selling author and strategic coach Dan Sullivan talks about it in his book who Not How. The Pygmillion effect is super powerful. And it's why I joined the Entrepreneur organization. It's why I joined a 3:30am wake up group. It's why I joined a 5:30am morning genius group. But it's a big part of the reason why I was able to pay off a half a million dollar debt in 88 days. And it's why I bailed on groups and people whose habits weren't consistent with where I was headed. The Pygmillion effect could be the ultimate hack and it can work for you too.
