    I do like the idea of process reminds me of When an archer is shooting for nothing, he has all his skill. If he shoots for a brass buckle, he is already nervous. If he shoots for a prize of gold, he goes blind or sees two targets. He is out of his mind! His skill has not changed, but the prize divides him. He cares. He thinks more of winning than of shooting. And the need to win drains him of power. (Chuang Tzu) Thank you for an excellent video. I'm an old man with much to learn.

    Barbara Langston Thanks, Barbara! Short answer: I work on it 10 hours a day 5 days a week. :) I don't speed read but, having read a lot, I do read rather quickly and have a pretty good system for identifying Big Ideas/creating Notes after creating my 215th one this morning! As I read a book, I like to imagine having the opportunity to hang out with a great teacher, discussing their BEST stuff that they worked so hard to distill into that book. :)

There is so much content on your channel and website now that I don't know how to start. I don't want to consume your content but actually learn from it and implement it in my life. So would you recommend something like mastering 2 masterclasses a month and perhaps 2 PN's or would you do it differently? Thank you so much for your hard work. Robin

    Genuine question; what if you can't figure out your 'one thing'?
