1 hr 14 sec
Welcome back to another episode of Life in the FastLane, where Nick and Kyle talk about execution. The largest determining factor in success after studying other and ourselves is action. Executing those actions are what separate you from the pack. Remember choosing to not do something like drinking or going to bed angry is an action as well. You have to define the factors for yourself, just remember to stick to your moral compass.

"Jack of all trades and a Master at none", its a saying for a reason. You can get decently good at a lot of things but youll never be a master at them all. Every "millionaire" expert online says you need 7 streams of income to be wealthy. What they don't tell you is that its once you have that money is when you can then diversify. If you focus on all 7, the one with the least attention tends to fall apart. Focusing on one task at a time allows for tasks to get done better, faster, with more efficiency thus giving you a better result versus a half assed result.
