Big outcomes don't begin with a great idea.
They usually just start with a common simple idea.
There aren't any "aha" moments.
Great ideas are constructed by working on them.
That's where "positive feedback loops" start to make sense.
You need to design a system where your outcomes fuel your incomes.
That's how a big idea/project is built up, by adding one idea on top of the other.
Your fuel will be new ideas and motivation because you'll see how your project grows. You get evidence. That's how you motivate yourself.
Evidence gives you the power to keep pushing towards the destination you've set as your goal.
An idea usually means nothing at the beginning. It's by compounding it over time how it generates impressive outcomes.
Simplicity over simplicity over simplicity = significant outcomes.
Significant outcomes = motivation + more new ideas = fuel for new incomes.
This process and framework allow leverage to come in because you need less to produce more.
It sounds crazy, but it works.
Whenever you start practicing this game, you get hooked on it.
Common sense always works. Whenever you feel (and see) that cause-effect relationship, you understand the game and want to play it every day.
This mindset produces a frictionless system you're happy to work with.
You easily produce incomes that give you great outcomes (easily too).
That's why you're motivated to keep working. You're engaged!
Effortless actions + good results = actions to keep going.
The more you produce, the more incomes you have to put in your system.
You don't have to spend time thinking about what incomes you need, do hateful searches, dedicate hours to "empty thinking". Thinking for the sake of it is no big deal.
Something that shows you the way, makes sense, and motivates, leads to action.
Creating a positive feedback loop based on doing what you should at any moment mechanically, without even thinking, sounds like a dream, but it's possible.
When you start enjoying victories day by day, that flood of victories will drive you, without hesitation, to success.
Each victory will add a new dose of energy to start doing "the next to-do".
Doing is how you achieve things in life. At least, it's the only way I know.
