Notes:
- Commonalities of leaders who sustain excellence:
- They read a lot
- They unplug regularly - "the genesis for all my best ideas."
- "Create untouchable time" for yourself
- The CEO of Wal-Mart -- How did he create this time?
- He's the CEO BECAUSE he always made this part of his way of operating.
- Neil worked in a senior level corporate role for Wal-Mart for 10 years
- His side hustle was writing and speaking
- He didn't quit his job until he had successfully built his side hustle for eight years!
- His side hustle was writing and speaking
- Ask yourself two questions:
- Which of these two decisions will I regret not doing more on your death bed?
- What will you do if it fails?
- The farmer with one horse fable: A farmer had only one horse. One day, his horse ran away. His neighbors said,"I'm so sorry. This is such bad news. You must be so upset." The man just said,"We'll see." A few days later, his horse came back with twenty wild horses following. The man and his son corralled all twenty-one horses. His neighbors said, "Congratulations! This is such good news.You must be so happy!" The man just said,"We'll see." One of the wild horses kicked the man's only son, breaking both his legs. His neighbors said,"I'm so sorry.This is such bad news. You must be so upset." The man just said,"We'll see." The country went to war, and every able-bodied young man was drafted to fight. The war was terrible and killed every young man, but the farmer's son was spared since his broken legs prevented him from being drafted. His neighbors said, "Congratulations! This is such good news.You must be so happy!" The man just said, "We'll see . . ."
What is up with this crazy farmer, right?
Well, what's up with this crazy farmer is that he has truly developed resilience. He has built up his resilience. He is resilient! He's steady, he's ready, and whatever the future brings, we all know he's going to stare it straight in the face with eyes that scream,"Bring it on."
The farmer has come to understand that every skyrocketing pleasure or stomach-churning defeat defines not who he is but simply where he is.
- What do most commencement speeches get wrong?
- Do what you love only if you're willing to accept the pain to continue doing it...
- The grind. A lot of small losses add up. Can you handle the pain that you will need to endure to do what you love?
- Is it better to be a big fish in a small pond?
- Yes. Academic research shows it benefits you even up to 10 years after you leave the pond...
- Don't but the $5m condo in NYC. Continue to find places where you can purposefully win.
- Rig the game to win.
- "Different is better than better."
- Add a dot-dot-dot...
- Neil's mom: "I always just added the word yet to everything..." It's not a NO, it's a "not yet."
- You have to just "keep going."
- The two minute morning routine that takes the worry out of waking up:
- In your journal write three things:
- I will let go of...
- I am grateful for...
- I will focus on...
- In your journal write three things:
- Neil's goal setting:
- Set the lowest possible goals. Set goals that you will hit.
- "Extrinsic goals don't work."
- Why joining The Learning Leader Circle is a good idea

The Last 12 Weeks
By shows
In 1992, David Wood was convicted of murdering young women and girls and burying them in the desert outside El Paso, earning him the nickname the Desert Killer. More than 30 years later, his lawyers have one last chance to argue his innocence and stop his execution. “The Last 12 Weeks” follows a team of capital defense lawyers as they try to save their client’s life. The series, produced by Serial Productions and The New York Times in collaboration with The Marshall Project, focuses on the high stakes and at times bizarre work involved in trying to halt an execution. With an extraordinary level of access to a capital case in its final stretch, the longtime death penalty reporter Maurice Chammah takes listeners into the room with the lawyers as the clock ticks down. Maurice and Alvin Melathe, a producer, follow members of the defense team as they look for alternate suspects, try to find new evidence to poke holes in the case, and track down hard-to-find witnesses. In the end, will the lawyers’ efforts be enough to persuade a deeply skeptical court system — and stop an execution three decades in the making? “The Last 12 Weeks.” A five-part series … on a deadline.
