“In a world where everyone is competing with their answers, how do you differentiate yourself from everyone else? With a question.” - Dan Sullivan

In this episode we finish our deep dive of Who Not How by Dan Sullivan & Dr. Benjamin Hardy.

LESSON 1: Avoiding the Wrong Whos * Build buffers and systems to ensure you no longer directly work with people who aren’t relevant. * Say no to people and opportunities that don’t align with the vision of your future self. * The right Whos help you see potential in your future & in your work that you can’t presently see for yourself.

LESSON 2: Creating Effective Collaborators

  • Seek other people’s perspectives and solutions. Don’t be afraid to admit when you need help.
  • Avoid over-obsessing and apply the 80 percent rule to move projects forward.
  • Seek to be a hero to those you work with, and you’ll do your best work for them.

LESSON 3: Stop Competing

  • Focusing on how leads you to being isolated in your goals, and ultimately slows your progress.
  • The wrong kind of competition can stunt creative innovation and limit your future.
  • Collaboration can transform the initial intent of the project into something surprisingly better and more impactful than you would have planned on your own.
