About this listen

You are frustrated right now because you are not making the progress you want in your life. You think it is because you do not have enough time, enough money, or the right connections. Let me tell you the real reason: You gave yourself a Plan B.

Having a comfortable fallback plan is the enemy of greatness. When you know you can always just fall back into your comfortable job or your old habits, you will never fight at one hundred percent capacity.

Today on The Short Game Podcast, we are reading about the most ruthless psychological switch in history: The Thirty-Three Strategies of War by Robert Greene .

We are talking about the Death Ground strategy. When I built NexYear, I didn't do it as a safe little side hustle. When you are handling complex logistics for high-level VIPs, there is no Plan B. You deliver flawlessly, or you fail entirely. I burned the boats.

In this episode:

  • The Universal Hook: Why having an excuse lined up guarantees you are going to use it.
  • The Operator Reality: How putting your back against the wall forces you to figure out how to win.
  • The Sovereign Standard: Why a King never hedges his bets on his own life.

Look at your career, your fitness goals, and your relationships. Where are you holding onto a safety net just in case things get hard? Burn the boats. See you inside.
