74 - Be a Scientist of Your Own Life

74 - Be a Scientist of Your Own Life

 
I discuss the book “Skip the Line” by James Altucher, it challenges us about how to achieve our goals and dreams. Altucher suggests setting up small experiments in life that are easy to do, have little downside, and have a potential upside. I love the idea of becoming a scientist of my own life and being obsessed with what I’m working on. It’s also important to exercise our “possibility muscle” and find virtual mentors to learn from. And even though it can be scary, leaning into fear is key to making progress. I’m excited to start trying out these small experiments and seeing where they take me.
