No Dabble Zone

[LightHouse]

As it turns out, a single slide shown at the summit has hit the hearts and minds of Fastlaners from all around the world...

So I wanted to take a second and share that same slide with the rest of the forum, and serve as a reminder to attendees.

The context given at the summit was that I increased sales on a single product 3x overnight... with 2 hours of work and $2 paid to a graphic designer.

I could have watched tv for that two hours, I could have checked other sales stats, I could have shopped on the internet, or went to the bar for a beer or eight...

The only thing holding you back from your goals is you.... Get to work my friends.

Definitely one of the big take-aways for me this year. Great presentation. Thanks.

Lol, it was a FLF Summit Classic Moment™

To add to this; Symptoms of dabbling/tinkering are also extremely closely related to Shiny Object Syndrome. This is a mistake I have seen so many people starting out repeating over and over. They come across one business idea after another and end up dabbling a little bit on each one before hopping on to the next tempting idea.

The cure to treat dabbling/tinkering is to pick and settle on ONE F*cking idea, and stay the course with it. There will always be other tempting ideas or guys doing 'cooler' stuff than you or perhaps seemingly making faster progress and more money than you (note the word seemingly) - but the fact is that if you quit diddling around and take your ONE idea seriously - you will some day be that guy that a new generation of shiny object syndrome people look up to and envy. Let THEM dabble in what you succeeded with.
