You may have heard the expression how you do anything is how you do everything. At first blush it sounds insightful, but after you think about it for five or 10 seconds, it doesn't really make sense. I don't believe that at all. In fact, I think it's kind of odd if someone tries to do every single thing in life to perfection. I don't think anyone can really do that. I'm not very good at weeding. Look, there's a weed in my yard right there. But that doesn't mean I'm horrible and slipshod at everything. I think I'm one of the best in the world at creating online training because that's where I focus my energies. I don't really care about the weed in my yard. To me it's so much more important to figure out what do you care about passionately and then dive deep. And if other things have to be a little rough around the edges, that's okay.
