Don't settle for best practices

Most people blindly follow common best practices as prescribed.

It feels safe. And for a long time, I had the same mentality: “surely, if it’s been written about in a book, it must be the best way”.

But I’ve discovered that the practices that can most significantly propel you forward are the ones that no one ever talks about.

Maybe they’re just too good to share. Or perhaps, the people who discovered them are so successful, they have no desire to write the book.

But, common best practices are just that. Common. And they are only a potential list of practices to choose from, they're not ALL the practices.

For me, the practices that have consistently delivered the best results are the ones I discovered on my own, through my sheer curiosity and willingness to experiment.

I’ve never had any investors. I’ve also never had a mentor. But what I’ve always had is the freedom and confidence to challenge the status quo – without fear of failure.

As a result, I’ve made a lot of mistakes over the years. But it has been those mistakes that most often led to my greatest successes.

The truth is – no great success was ever achieved without failure. And no failure was ever suffered without pursuing the discovery of best practices.

I’m excited to share my personal best practices with you here on IH and on my newsletter over at Substack!
