Alex Hormozi: 我认为,面对艰难的决定是正常的,这意味着我已经选择了所有简单的路径。我已经摘掉了所有低垂的果实,做出了几乎没有权衡的简单决定。但之后会遇到真正难以逆转的决定。所以,我必须承担起责任,做出权衡。因为如果我想要从生活中得到一切,我将一无所获。我必须做出选择,并承担后果。而且,我做出的不可逆转的决定越多,我就越擅长做出这些决定,但我必须开始行动。我发现,大多数人只会让生活替他们做决定,但这通常不是一个好的生活方式,我只会得到命运的安排。剩下的都是显而易见但有风险的事情,因为这些决定涉及到权衡。如果我长期陷入困境,那么我所交易的就是摆脱困境的机会,无论是变得更好还是更糟。大多数人会永远停留在原地,因为他们什么都没改变。为了让明天感觉更好,我如何让今天感觉更糟?很多时候,我做出重大决定是因为现在的生活太痛苦了,以至于觉得任何事情都比现在好。为了前进,通常需要后退一步。当我做出所有简单的选择后,才会出现有风险的决定。如果我的供应有限,那么第一步就是提高价格。提高价格后,我会有更多的现金流,这可以让我支付更高的薪酬,从而吸引我所需要的人才。即使相对回报下降,我的绝对回报也会上升。重要的是利润的绝对值,而不是相对回报率。人们会根据实现目标的难度来下调自己的目标。从战术角度来看,明确权衡对我的生活产生了巨大的回报。如果我只是以赚更多的钱为目标,那么就很难集中注意力,因为每件事都能赚更多的钱。最多的钱来自于专注。我必须清楚自己想要优化哪个结果。选择新奇事物意味着我不会建立一个非常大的企业。选择建立一个大型企业意味着我不会获得生活中的新奇感。了解我为之付出的代价,了解我在无聊的时刻所获得的回报。越有能力的人,越能同时处理多项任务,但也因此放弃了更大的整体收益。我需要修剪花园,砍掉树枝,让整体生长。
