Something to Read: The Relationship Between Effort & Strategy

What’s more important to you:

Effort or strategy?

Your neither wrong nor right on which you chose.

But the focus should be how to mold these together.

Without effort there’s no foundation to build upon.

And without a strategy the effort goes nowhere.

Your effort in the gym doesn’t mean anything if you’re still eating Wendy’s and sleeping 4.5 hours a day.

There’s no reason to work things out with your special someone if there’s no plan to overcome each other’s pain points and invest in their priorities.

Life becomes limitless when you leverage the two together.

This idea came from the podcast below, thanks Web Smith for such a solid conversation.
