Think of any of the greatest leaders of all time. How do you think they became as good as they were? If you’d guessed that they probably worked really hard, then you’d probably be right.
But they also had a secret. One that we must use if we plan on being the best we can be.
Here’s the real secret they had:
They hit the refresh button everyday.
Hitting the refresh button means that they upgraded themselves and their skills. And their secret is that they made upgrading a daily habit. For example, CEOs like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos read over 50 books a year. Some, like Warren Buffett and Ryan Holiday, read over 100 books a year!
They understand that if their refresh rate is high, they’ll dominate their competition. So they don’t leave it to chance. They make learning quickly their competitive advantage.
What’s the rate at which you refresh your skills or learn something new? How often do you read a book or listen to a podcast related to your work? Or better question:
Do you even refresh, bro?
