Episode Summary
In this week’s episode, Mike answers a question from a viewer who feels like they are doing “all the things” but are not seeing results. Mike directly challenges this premise, stating that if you’re not getting results, you’re simply not doing all the things. He explains that the phrase “I’ve tried everything” is a fallacy, and the real issue is likely flawed technique or an unfocused approach. Mike’s solution is to first assume you are not doing everything, and then to take an inventory of all your actions. He advises getting an outside perspective from a coach or trusted colleague to help determine which actions to intensify, dilute, get rid of, or add. By narrowing down your focus to a few key areas and achieving mastery, you will begin to see progress.
