The 100-hour rule

A hundred focused hours makes you dangerous at almost any skill — most people never give it ten.

South Korea deployment: 5x revenue in 90 days by cutting all leisure

On a 9-month rotation in South Korea making $2-3K/month, Nick banned himself from TV and movies, taught himself marketing, video editing, and coding, and rebranded the company. Within 90 days revenue went from $2K to $10K a month.

Every waking moment outside of work with the military was going to be spent learning how to market, how to create videos, how to edit. I taught myself how to code a website. I read books, listened to podcasts. And within the first 90 days of being in South Korea, we went from $2,000 a month in revenue to $10,000 a month in revenue.

Learn on the edge of your comfort zone, where you're pushed but not drowning

Shaan describes the learning sweet spot: too far inside your comfort zone and you learn nothing, too far outside and you drown. People who get great sit right on the boundary, pushed beyond what they know but not so far they sink.

It's like, if you're too far in your comfort zone, you learn nothing. If you're too far out of your comfort zone, you also learn nothing. The secret of people who get great at something is that they sit right on the boundary where they're pushed beyond what they know, but not so far beyond where they drown.
