#74 How to get ridiculously good by doing the opposite of what doesn’t work

You can get very good at something by doing the opposite of what doesn’t work.


What doesn’t work?

–> Don’t start

–> Don’t keep going

–> Don’t improve each time

–> Don’t do it for long enough


The opposite?

–> Start

–> Do it over and over

–> Get better each time

–> Do it for a long time


Let’s take public speaking.

–> Start i.e. do ONE speech

–> Do it over and over i.e. Do 10-100-1000 speeches

–> Get better each time i.e. “Today I am going to replace ums with pauses”

–> Do it for 3-5 years i.e. Cue TED talk 🙂


Let’s take magic.

—> Start i.e. learn ONE magic trick

—> Do it over and over i.e. “Hey stranger, pick a card.”

—> Get better each time i.e. “Maybe it’s better if I hold the cards a bit lower this time.”

—> Do it for 3-5 years i.e. People can’t tell how you did the trick, even you show them again.


What do YOU want to get good at?

What are you doing doesn’t work?

What’s the opposite of that?

Do that 😉


Much love to you and of course, myself.
