The Secret to Genius Is Simplicity

The secret to genius is not complexity, it’s simplicity. If you look at a Picasso of any industry, if you look at a great artist, they didn’t fill their workdays and their personal lives with a lot of things. They filled them with a few things. I guess what I’m suggesting to you is one of the secrets to iconic productivity is mono-maniacally focused at being world-class at just a few things. And if you look at any great artist, any great entrepreneur, any great business builder, any great author, any great humanitarian, they were mono-maniacally focused on one thing, they were minimalists. Rather than having 50 projects that you want to achieve at the highest level, maybe pick three. Rather than having 1,000 Facebook friends, maybe go deep and develop three really great relationships. Especially your days, focus, focus, focus on just those few priorities that when you roll up your sleeves and go deep in them and invest what I call the trinity of your assets, your focus, your energy, and your power on those few things, they will allow you to birth art into the world, which will allow the world to call you world-class.
