How scary is a person with strong execution ability?

01

I read an article by Teacher Xiaoliu two days ago and noticed a terrible detail.

Teacher Primary 6 attended a paid course and sat at the same table as Spencer. Brother Six used a pad to take notes, and the effect was like this:

Spencer took a look at it and said, "Well, this is good."

An hour later, his assistant sent over an identical one.

The execution is ridiculously strong.

It turns out that this is how people with an annual salary of tens of millions deal with problems.

My little Liu has a lot of problems, he smokes and drinks, and doesn’t study hard. He has only one advantage, super strong execution ability.

So strong that it’s like he has no brains.

After graduating from college, I didn’t learn any skills. It was difficult to find a job. I had 4 interviews a day for a month and joined a financial company as a salesperson;

I had no foundation. No clients, just running around desperately, making 200 phone calls a day, working 12 hours a day, and taking a break once a month.

In his words, he has never thought about career development or what his future will be like. Anyway, there is a job at hand, so work hard first, and we will talk about the future later.

In the third month, I became the team sales champion, and then I basically never came down.

However, the good times did not last long, and the small company was unstable and went bankrupt.

Later, this guy became obsessed with photography, saved some money, and opened a photography studio.

In less than two years, now it is easily two hundred thousand a year.

I asked him, you are a novice photographer and you don’t know anything, how come you started doing it?

He said, I never thought about what I could achieve. I just thought people with SLRs were cool, so I bought one and started working on it.

It is said that highly effective people are list-obsessed, so we keep making lists, making plans, and even vow to make the most of every minute of our lives.

Then make a list and continue to lie in bed and browse Weibo and Zhihu.

There is an internal logic here, which may not be clear to most of us.

The prerequisite for high efficiency is not to have a complete list and a well-organized plan, but to act immediately.

The plan is zero, the action is one. No matter how many zeros there are, without the first one, everything is in vain.

Many times, we are accustomed to using tactical diligence to cover up strategic laziness. In order to avoid thinking and delay facing things, we are willing to keep planning and arranging.

However, most of the people who have the last laugh in the workplace are those who solve problems immediately when they encounter them.

It’s useless to be prepared. If something happens, go ahead. No matter how many problems there are, they will never be solved without action.

My cousin’s nickname is Fat Ya.

I am 27 years old this year. In order to get married, my family has tried every method possible, almost to the point of death.

However, the biggest obstacle for Fat Ya to find a partner is that her figure does not have a competitive advantage.

I always told her that if you were in the Tang Dynasty, you would definitely have nothing to do with Concubine Yang.

Every time we just talk and laugh.

Until some time ago, after I learned that my high school idol had gotten married, I seemed to have become a different person.

I didn’t sign up for a gym or find a personal trainer. I lost more than 30 pounds in half a year, and now I am a fitness goddess.

I was really shocked when we met again, so I asked for various tips on weight loss tips and fitness plans.

She said, "What's the secret? It's just to realize that it's time to lose weight and stop exercising."

"Salad with whole wheat bread, run ten kilometers every day, it's that simple . ”

All the excessive planning and all the careful arrangements are nothing compared to the sentence: Let’s get on the road first.

Each of us is much smarter and braver than we think. As long as we are on the road, as long as we don’t look back, there is always a way to climb more mountains and cross more thresholds. .

Teacher Xiaoliu said: "The beginning is more important than perfection." I think this is what he said.

There is no genius in the world. All geniuses are execution mad. All achievements are the result of practice, practice, practice, hard work, hard work, and then achieved by the way.

By the way, Fat Ya will go to Thailand to take wedding photos at the end of the year, best wishes to her.

Eric Ries proposed a concept in "Lean Startup" called Minimum Viable Product (MVP).

This means that when providing solutions to problems, we first launch the product in the simplest way, and then make improvements and corrections based on user feedback, so that the product slowly becomes Products that are most suitable for users.

For example, if you want to travel around the world, you don’t necessarily have to build a plane first. You can start with a skateboard and continue to improve and upgrade your means of transportation.

If you want to go further and faster, you can replace your skateboard with a bicycle; if you want to save more energy, you can find a way to replace your bicycle with a motorcycle; if you want to cross the city, see if you can find a car to drive. Once opened.

In most cases, the reason why we are reluctant to take action is that the goal is too far and too perfect.

If you decide to go mountain climbing, don’t start with three mountains and five mountains. You can try conquering the hillside near your home first; if you decide to start fitness, there is no need to run ten kilometers every day. Try ten sit-ups before going to bed; If you decide to read a book, you don’t have to read it all at once. Start by reading two pages every day.

Start on the road first, break the long-term goal into small hills that can be achieved with a little effort, stick to it, and keep upgrading the difficulty.

It’s much easier than running a marathon right away.
