Book of the Week with 2 Important Lessons:

The book of the week is Go One More: Find the Clarity to Make Intentional, Life-Changing Choices by Nick Bare.

A solid book and a powerhouse of motivation, discipline and consistency. “Go One More” is a powerful mindset that can positively reshape every part and trajectory of our life. The goal of this book is to improve our clarity in life and resolve what we need to keep progressing so we can go one more in all things we do.

Go One More is not only an action. It’s more than doing one extra rep, working one extra hour, or running one extra mile. All of that extra effort compounds, and it can completely change your life over time, but the effort must be intentional. And we cannot be intentional with our choices when we lack clarity. Go One More is an outcome that we achieve by making highly intentional choices on a consistent basis.

Embrace the “Go One More” philosophy and turn your aspirations into reality, paving the way for the life you’ve dreamed of but previously lacked the intentional decision-making ability to achieve. Choose to finish well. Go out there and put in the work and courage required to grow and change your life.

Here are two important lessons from the book:

1) Lack of intentionality leads to a repetition of what is easiest.

Usually, the easy option lacks discipline and intention. In other words, it’s easy to be lazy. We naturally want to take the path of least resistance, the path that lacks originality, innovation, discomfort, and newness. We like the predictable path that leads to safety.

If we don’t lead a life with intentionality or pursue intentionality, we will just do what is easier. Take growth, for example. Growth is challenging, but you must choose it. It doesn’t occur by chance. If you don’t make the choice to grow, you will simply maintain the status quo. You will just go through the motions. Every easy path you choose to follow adds an incremental degree of separation between where you’re heading and your full potential. The longer you are off course, the greater that separation becomes.

Want to know what’s really hard? Pausing, evaluating, taking one step back, slowing down, and leaning in with a new strategy. An intentional plan. Doing this feels like you’re digressing, but you’re actually preparing to make massive progress. Intentional choices and decisions, plant your feet on the ground and move you forward.

2) Be consistently good instead of occasionally great.

If you’re going to be consistent about something, then you’re going to have to be brave enough to start. That’s the difference between having confidence and having courage. Confidence is a belief in one’s self. Many people have confidence that one day they may build the life they want and accomplish the goals they dream of, but without action, those dreams remain dreams. Courage is the action.

Here’s the thing about consistency: you don’t have to be born with it. You don’t have to have talent to be consistent, but you do have to consistent in order to succeed at anything in life. As YouTuber Chris Williamson said on Nick’s podcast: “One of the most common traits among the high performers that I speak to is they are electing to put themselves through hard things very frequently.” It’s a way to build confidence, to repeatedly tell yourself, I can do this. “Consistency won’t guarantee success but not being consistent will guarantee that you won’t be successful. And not electing to do hard things very regularly would probably be a close second.”

Showing up and being consistently good create results. Consistency compounds. Training for a marathon is hard. Building a business is hard. Being a great husband and father is hard. If you start with the expectation of succeeding right away, you are probably going to be disappointed. Consistency always wins. Show up day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, and keep putting in that hard work because it will compound over time. That compounding consistency only gets better and better and better. Consistency is the foundation to build everything else on.

Books I am currently reading:

1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History and How It Shattered a Nation by Andrew Ross Sorkin. With 1929, Sorkin delivers an immersive, electrifying account of the most pivotal market collapse of all time with lessons that remain as urgent as ever. More than just a history, 1929 is a crucial blueprint for understanding the cycles of speculation, the forces that drive financial upheaval, and the warning signs we ignore at our peril.

Money Together: How to find fairness in your relationship and become an unstoppable financial team by Heather Boneparth and Douglas Boneparth. This has been a wise read so far. It emphasizes investing in each other and how to achieve shared financial success.

Mark Twain by Ron Chernow. Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Ron Chernow illuminates the full, fascinating, and complex life of the writer long celebrated as the father of American literature, Mark Twain. Great read so far!
