And this is something that I think many a person struggle with,

which is in part this idea of focusing on the thing in front of you versus getting too distracted with other opportunities.

And I wanted to talk to you about this idea of focus.

Sure.

And how important you think it is for mastery.

Yeah.

I meet so many young people who will say to me, oh, I'm doing this little crypto thing here, and I've got this hair business here, and I've got this other thing here.

What would you say to those people that are trying to become a master in this world as it relates to focus.

It's funny because I'm helping the son of an old friend of mine who's got that problem and he's incredibly successful.

I hope he's not listening to this.

He's 20 years old.

He's very wealthy.

He's done amazing things.

But he's one of those people who spread himself out to all these different things.

And I can't find a through line what connects them all, except making money and having connections and stuff.

And it's very alluring in this world, particularly, you know, where there's so many possibilities where you can get on the internet, you can learn this, that, the other people are doing these things, you can get into crypto,

you know, you can start your own business here, you can get into the health and fitness world, and then later on try to figure out how to connect them all.

But life doesn't work like that, that's not how the brain functions, that's not what we were meant for.

Because it doesn't start from you.

The whole thing has to start from you.

It can't start from the world.

It can't start from what other people are doing.

It can't start from what's sexy.

It has to come from within.

If it doesn't come from within, then you're gonna be floundering for years and years and years.

And so what I've done with this young person, whose name I won't mention but I love dearly, is what is it that really is in your heart?

What is it that you really, really love?

How can we connect this crypto with this media business that you're starting, with the sports world that you're starting, with this fitness thing?

What connects them all?

And to me, I was thinking, I was getting the sense, we haven't solved it yet,

but he's kind of excited by celebrities and by that world.

And that's fine, I think there's nothing wrong with that.

So I'd say, well, maybe what connects all this is the film business, right?

Because the film business is pretty wide ranging.

To be a producer, to raise money, you're dealing with all kinds of different people, you're networking, you're meeting starlets,

You know, it's a glamorous life, but it's focused, okay?

So, you know, when you focus on something, the world just kind of opens up, but you have to be focusing on the right thing.

So, if you were meant to be a writer, and then you decide because you want money to go into law school, and then you focus very deeply on law school,

what will happen is, for a year or two, you'll be able to skid by, but then the wheels will start going slower and slower because you're not interested in it, you're not connected to it,

you get bored, and your focus will start falling to pieces.

But if it's something you love, you can focus on that for seven, eight, 10, 12 years and never get bored.

From observing a certain family member of mine

do a very similar thing part of it as well is

that when she would start one pursuit starting X business it would get hard as it always does and

when you look over at the person across the road they

seem to be having a much easier life with their thing

or with their crypto or with their whatever yeah

and they tell you the story of how much money they've made and how easy it was, whatever.

So you get tempted into believing that the grass is greener.

You pursue that.

So now you're doing two things.

Now your first thing starts to suffer.

And I think especially in the early season of life, when you don't have Elon Musk resources, much of the game is focusing enough on one thing to build those resources

so that you have the chance of being able to do it more than one thing

or spreading your bets a bit more.

But in that first season, when you're in resource accumulation phase, I think my early investors in my company, I remember one day emailing my first investor, who's a very successful man, and saying, I've got an idea.

And it was an idea other than the one he'd invested in.

And I remember the email.

I was 18 years old, and he hit me so hard on that email.

He was like, if you don't focus on one thing, you will never ever be successful.

Wait, you were the one that was interested in this other thing?

Yeah, I was trying to find that.

He was the one, uh-huh.

Yeah, so my investor, he was a very successful man, and I emailed him this other idea, which I thought was amazing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And he sent me this email back, which was like being hit by a whip.

He was like, if you don't focus on one thing now, you will never be successful.

Because also you rob yourself, as you said, of the chance of accumulating deep skills.

Yeah.

Yes, it is.

Yeah, I remember...

This is something that wise people know.

And if you're young, if you have, like, a mentor like you did, who could tell you the truth, the ropes as they are,

It will help save you years of misery.

I remember when we were at American Apparel, it was the year 2007, the company was just about to go public.

I was about to be put on the board of directors

and this man came to me who was like your investor and he said, Robert, just make sure that Doves doesn't mindlessly expand.

Make the brand focused, have it focused on one thing and then it will be successful.

At the time I thought that was interesting but I didn't really have the guts to like explain that to Dove.

But there are people out there who understand the truth of this.

But the other thing about envy, like you say, you see your other friend doing crypto and they're having so much fun and making so much money.

I tell you it's bullshit, they're not having as much fun as you think, right?

who create a front on Instagram or TikTok or wherever, where life seems so glorious, but they're never having as much fun as you might imagine.

You know, in my book, Laws of Human Nature, I talk about Aristotle Onassis, who in the 60s was the wealthiest man in the world.

He was married to John F.

Kennedy's widow, Jacqueline Kennedy, Jacqueline Onassis.

Who could be happier than that?

He had yachts, et cetera.

He was the most unhappiest miserable person in the world, as Jacqueline Kennedy explained in her autobiography.

He was such a mean-spirited, unhappy person.

Yet everybody thought envied him because he had this beautiful wife and all that money.

The people you envy are not doing nearly as well as you think.

So don't let that influence your decisions in life.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
