How to instantly up your performance and get more results?

Imagine you don’t have barriers.

Wait a minute, it can’t be that simple.

It is. It works for learning, for performance in any task, and achieving results. Let me explain to you how it works.

We usually consider we have barriers in how we do things.

Time barriers, method barriers. If you have to do a task in your office, for the next 30 minutes, you’re locked by those variables. Those are your barriers.

Barriers aren’t always bad. The thing is, they’re bad when they stop you from seeing the other options. It’s a matter of scarcity.

If you think you can only achieve performance and results in a certain way, you won’t truly believe in that method, you’ll use it out of necessity.

If you have multiple ways to achieve results, you’ll use the one you’re using because you believe it’s the best out of all of them.

A quick way to achieve a whole new level of performance is to consider your other options. Eliminate those barriers.

Whatever it is you’re doing, stop. Stop right now. Think of this:

How could you do your job even better on the same time limit?
How would you do it if you knew you would always do it perfectly?
What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?

Consider it right now, this instant. With the same time, same method and same resources, could you do your job ten times better?

You can.

A hundred times better?

Truly.

Now notice: You’re not changing your physical space, your timeframe. You’re just changing your potential, the gear you’re on, so you use the same resources and get more results and higher performance.

You’re not upping your resources, you’re upping your capability to use those resources.

There is inimaginable power in our minds that contributes to our performance.

That power is often locked because we’re not considering our options, or because due to the force of habit we lose the effectiveness in our methods.

So do whatever it is you use to do, but do it with a special magic this time.

Do it as if you couldn’t fail.
Do it as if you would always succeed.
Do it as if you could relax and do nothing and still achieve maximum results (even though I don’t advise you to not do anything).

Just thinking like that opens up your mind. It oils your gears and puts you in a state of true performance. It allows you to do the same thing, but having multiple times the energy.

Be aware, you don’t need to physically change your actions. You’re doing those same actions, but you can expend ten times the energy on them, you can understand them and control inside out.

The actions are the same, you’re the one who’s upgraded.

Free yourself. Maximize yourself.

Try it right now. You’ll see it works.

You read a book once. You get the general picture of it.

You read the book again. You get deeper knowledge about it. You read it again and again, maybe in the period of days, maybe in the period of years.

The thing is, you reach a point where you know the book forward and backward. You know exactly how many principles the book defends for doing a certain thing, how many chapters there are, and so on.

This is great. But it might also be a trap.

You have to obtain all the knowledge of a book, but then induce from it. You know the saying about the student always surpassing the master? It’s the same with a book.

You have to get all the knowledge you can from it, but then add more. Mix it. Transform it. Add a bit of spice to it. Add your own twist to it.

Many people read a book and capture its knowledge, but they think it’s a fixed thing. It can’t change.

The solution for that is: Capture the OLD fundamentals of a book, but use them to think of NEW ramifications.

You read a book about mounting a business from the 1980s. It might have some fundamental information, but in this new age of course some things have changed.

Don’t just consider “there’s the old way” and “there’s the new way”. Don’t separate them. Mix them both. Use the knowledge of the past and of the present. Mix them together. Integrate them and use them to jump to the next level.

So, don’t separate the knowledge of a book from the rest of the knowledge you obtain.

If a book contains the principles for setting up a business, how would those principles evolve in the present? How would the author do it?

If a book contains techniques for better life quality, would they still be valid today? What would the author add?

Don’t consider book knowledge static.

In sum: Don’t just capture what every book says. Capture what it would say if it had accompanied the evolution up to the present.

This might be hard to do at first. But it’s one of the best ways to generate knowledge ever. It has the book’s base, but it has your twist.

Become an interpreter of knowledge, someone that cuts it, reforms it, integrates it and transforms it.

Think about it. This just blew my mind the first time I thought about it.
