#94 - The Alchemy of Time - Stamina #3

The true test of character is not persistence when you see a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s persistence when you don’t see the light.
We’ve been discussing Time Alchemy. Transmuting low leverage time into highly productive time.
Now this is a bit deceiving because ultimately. Low leverage activities are basically that—low leverage. Utilizing your time in a low leverage way is what needs to be transmuted.
Let’s talk about the science behind this: modern science tells us that everything is energy…
When it comes to productivity, with your time and energy there are two factors you must consider. Stamina and Endurance.
Simply put, stamina is the energy and ability to start. Endurance is the energy to continue.
Most have some degree of stamina but very few have endurance.
Many start, very few finish.
Here’s the harsh reality, whatever you’re going after is most probably going to take at least 2X longer than you predict; and it’s going to cost 2X as much.
We’ll share with you the secret to stamina in a minute but it’s important to understand that “the difference between a master and a beginner is that the master can stand in the face of no results for longer.”
We’ll talk about endurance of time in our next session but here are a few of the fundamentals to creating the stamina to start:

Decide what you choose to create. Make is specific. Vague and ambiguous intentions create vague and ambiguous results.
Decide what you’re willing to sacrifice to achieve it. There will always be a sacrifice.
Get started with the work. Do what you know right now and allow what comes next to emerge as you move forward. No one knew “how” until it was done.
We talked about the C6. This your daily plan once you have clarity on your vision and intention. You don’t need a 10 year or even a one-year plan in this fast world. You need a one-day plan, broken down into one-hour plans.
