It was about a year ago, when I had quite a long, in-depth conversation with one of my mentors. It's funny, because at the time, he was only 22 years old. There was, and still is nothing special about the guy. In fact, his belief system was so low for me, that he told me to my face that I will never be able to be a Billionaire (which really pissed me off, but anyways).
He taught me quite a few lessons, but I wanted to cover mainly one of them today.
He told me this nifty little acronym.. K.I.S.S. - Keep It Stupidly Simple.
From that moment, I have been pretty addicted to it! It keeps me on my edge, and constantly helps me be productive. The reason he is so successful isn't because he is the smartest guy (he isn't). When I talk to him about figures, he cringes. Yet, he rocks around his university in his black Rolce Royce Ghost.
So what characteristic allowed him to be able to make his fortune? Let me tell you.
He never over-thinks anything. See, he stuck to his acronym.
Most people never finish what they set out for themselves to do, because they talk themselves out of doing the task before they've even begun. What my mentor did was he came up with a plan that he could work on at anytime of any day, and then he did it! He did it for 16 hours a day for like 2 years. What he did differently is that he made sure his action plan was stupidly simple, so he could never have an excuse.
Now, I get it. Some of you will say, "But I don't have a plan so simple that I can use...". Yes you do! By thinking that, you are over-thinking! Keep things simple.
Let me give you an example if you want to become great on Steemit.
Steemit K.I.S.S. Plan:
Step 1: Make at least 1 blog post per day.
Step 2: Comment genuinely on as many posts as you possibly can in a single day.
Do those two steps every single day, to the best of your ability for 2 years straight, and you will have a 99% chance of success. (1% in case the entire world decides to explode or something like that!)
See what I mean? There you have the best formula ever created. Now just go and use it.
Every time you feel like you are taking too long on any given activity, just remind yourself to keep it stupidly simple and then adjust yourself accordingly.
I hope you guys took some value from this post. Actually, who am I kidding? Of course you did! So leave your thoughts in a comment below. I enjoy interacting with you all!
