524: The #1 Skill Most Successful People Master (That No One Talks About)

Ever feel stuck, knowing you need help but unsure exactly where?

In this episode, I'll break down the journey of self-mastery, uncovering why awareness of your own limitations is crucial and how to leverage expertise to operate in complete flow.

Discover which state of mastery you’re in—and how to level up in business, life, and beyond!

Here are my 3 key takeaways:

Know What You Don't Know:  Self-mastery starts with honest awareness of your limitations. Identifying where you’re consciously or unconsciously incompetent is the first step to growth

Hire for Flow, Master Your Zone:  Surrounding yourself with experts (like trainers or chefs) lets you focus on what you do best. Outsourcing your weaknesses creates space for you to operate in a high state of flow.

Mastery Pillars and Elements: Let me introduce you to the four states of mastery -- unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, unconscious competence, and the five key elements—physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, and social. Understanding and coordinating these pillars and elements will take you a step further on your journey to mastery.
