Hey Samuel here, I’m looking abit tired here because, I work till 2am last night again…
I will try to keep this as short as possible. Finding the sweet spot between delivering
the value and people short attention span.
We talk about victim, survivor and worker yesterday. And probably that’s what most
Entrepreneur/Self motivation articles, talks about. Its the thing that a lot of us find
ourself residing in and thats why everyone is re-hashing these ideas constantly
However, I think a bit deeper. What would you do if you are already successful? Why
I would want to think of the possible future is because, everything happens 2 times. Once
in your head and once reality. Just like if I want to reach out to have a sip of water,
I would think of reaching out, and my hand will reach out *drinking*
So all those were instantaneous, and instant gratifying, but most of us lack of is the
future thinking aspect. Which in short is goal setting. In future video, I will talk
more about much more effective ways to set up goals, but lets not digress. Future thinking
works the same way. First, a possible positive future happen in your head, then you work
towards achieving it.
That is why you need to know about some of the higher level strategy.
So we have settled the foundation level. If you do all those, you would have been quite
comfortable. Which I think most of us are. The uncomfortable only comes when people like
me decide to try out Entrepreneurship… Suddenly I no longer have the time to measure my own
money I no longer have the time to do my own duty.
So the next level. Lets just imagine a settle of a classical music concert. There’s player.
People who play the Instrument like the violin or cello, the performer, imagine there were
the soloist of the concert. It could be a solo violin, solo piano, or opera singer.
There’s a time to shine for them among all the players. And lastly the conductor. Where
their focus is on the players and performer, to make sure they get the flow and perform
it well.
So people who are in the worker. Worker which is someone whom I identify yesterday is able
to 1) pinpoint their passion, 2) Set their own standard 3) Follow the flow, now need
to adopt these 3 new strategies to attain player status.
1) identify their passion 2) Master their market 3) Monetise their moment
So numero uno, identifying your identity. Each of us is unique. We need to own that
fact and ensure others see value in your identity. In business we tend to want to be a company
people go to when they looking for [insert niche here] and as person, someone others
look up to. So ensure your unique-ness is the first step to player.
Numero Due, Master your Market. Defining your identity define your market position. It means
you now have a market to master. As the leading player, you need to now know everything in
the market, the trend, the size, the expert. The go to or look up to.
Numero Tre, Monetise your moment. Understanding how to provide value to the flow, the chain
of flow… In the last video, we talk about following the flow. Today we want you to know
your place in the flow…. What this means is you do not need to know everything. You
can just be the one who talk and sell, you can be the one who teach, you can be the one
to create products….
This is why I say, this problem is more apparent to startup, because they apparently want to
do everything themselves. And not just do the part, in which they are best in. That
is why, unlike Worker, Player understood the concept of leverage. They know as long as
they do their own job well… they can leverage and rely on others to collectively create
a positive flow in both their life, or in business.
So in today’s video, I think I got the time to only cover 1 level. The Player level….
Are you currently at Worker level… and seeking to move to the next. If you were to follow
what Entrepreneur magazine is saying about successful people… They would Successful
people sleep and wake up early and they drink tonnes of water. As those were good habits,
doing all those doesn’t really help you succeed if you are not changing your strategies
in Life.
So are you a victim working toward survivor, are you a survivor towards worker? Or are
you a worker working towards Player. The key take away is…. do not use the wrong strategy
for your life. If you are a victim, right now…. Do not attempt to Master your Market.
Your foundation is not built properly and will be back to haunt you. As your money and
problems will slowly get the best of you.
So this is Samuel. Thanks for watching, and see you tomorrow.
