Nick Saban was asked a question after practice once. His response was 70 seconds of gold on what it takes to be successful in life. Here’s Saban on the Illusion of Choice: “These guys, they all think they have this illusion of choice. Like I can do whatever I...

Here's Trevor Moawad talking about the Illusion of Choice with @TomBilyeu -- I believe Saban learned this concept from Trevor, who wrote the great book "It Takes What It Takes."

Trevor Moawad sadly passed away a few years ago. Anyone who wants to be their best should read his book and study his work on the concept of neutral thinking.

"9. There are no long-term hacks. It takes what it takes." Feels like half of Twitter should have this tattooed on their forehead. There are no hacks - just do the work.

It Takes What It Takes is my #1 most recommended book when people ask me what books shaped my thinking. The applications of the illusion of choice are far reaching. I would say that plus extreme ownership completely transformed my marriage.

Two of my favorite concepts / books as well. It has very little to do with sports.

Excellent breakdown. So true with culture hurdles today, even in workplace and at home. The illusion of choice is a powerful concept to understand and is fed by a lot of media and information today. Facts and reality typically win. Like gravity.

Yep — if you want to be elite at whatever you do, it’s a narrow path

I think you may have been the first person to recommend that book to me. If so, thank you!

Prof. Theodore Postol: ‘Iran could build NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN WEEKS if pushed.’ ‘What Iran does not want to do is provoke its neighbours like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, some of the Gulf states, the GCC states into getting nuclear weapons or developing nuclear weapons programmes because Iran’s security would be greatly reduced if it was surrounded by nuclear-armed states. So what the Iranians very cleverly have devised as a strategy is to bring themselves to a point where they can obtain nuclear weapons if they choose to. In other words, relatively quickly but not step across the line. To build a few nuclear weapons from what they have initially, you could imagine it being done in weeks or months easily, and maybe even in weeks. They have the 60% enriched uranium hexafluoride. What they have to do is enrich it to 90%. That takes almost no time given the centrifuges. They have maybe a week. Then they have to convert the uranium hexafluoride, which is a special material. It looks like it’s a gas a lot of the time and sometimes a solid that looks like a salt. You have to convert it to uranium metal. You have to get the fluorine out of it. It’s a straightforward process. And that could take literally, again, a few days even, if they’re set up to do it. And you would expect them to have the equipment set up. If I were advising an Ayatollah and I were asked in a position to advise them, I would say let’s not do it. Let’s be prepared to do it. Let’s find a really deep underground facility or several of them, all of which, each one of which are capable of doing the job. Set them up. We already have the equipment. We set them up so they’re ready to go. And we don’t do it though. And we just let people know that we don’t want to do it.’ —Former US Chief of Naval Operations Adviser at the Pentagon Prof. Theodore Postol

The best advice on how to be successful I’ve heard: On Nick Saban’s radio show, a young athlete asked him a bold question. What advice would the Alabama football coach give him – a basketball player – to improve in his sport? Saban’s response is gold: “I think for any athlete, it's the same thing. What's your goal? What's your aspiration? What do you want to accomplish? That's the first thing. “Second thing is to define what it takes to do it. What does it entail for you to be the kind of basketball player that you want to be? “Then you got to make the decision. Are you willing to do that? Are you willing to go work every day and do the things you need to do and take 500 shots a day like Kobe Bryant did so that you can be the kind of player that you want to be? “And then do you have enough discipline to make yourself do it every day? Whether you feel like it or not. “You got to choose to get up. You got to choose to study. You got to choose to go make the shots. You got to choose to work out. People that can do that, they can reach their full potential. “If you choose to make that kind of commitment to it, you can do the same thing, but it's not going to just come to you. It's not going to come easy. “And you're going to have to overcome a lot of adversity to be able to persevere and sustain it to get where you want to go.” – It’s a beautiful response for sports, business and life. Replace the young basketball player with yourself – investor, business owner, manager, teacher, whatever – and the same framework applies. Some key takeaways: 1. Everything begins with a vision. What do you want to achieve? 2. Vision alone isn’t enough. You need a detailed plan of how to achieve it. 3. Commitment separates those who dream from those who do. Most people aren’t willing to do what it takes. 4. Daily execution is the hardest (and most valuable) part. 5. Feelings are irrelevant. You can do what needs to be done despite how you feel. 6. One day of effort is overrated. Daily effort is underrated. 7. Improvement is a lifelong process. Embrace it, cherish it, commit to it. ||| Hope this is helpful.

This is how I see left wing Scousers - What irritates me more than anything about them is they have the arrogance to tell people on a daily basis “Scousers are left wing” and call everyone a Tory or a wool who disagrees with them. Like they can speak for all of us. Like only they love this city and we don’t. Let me tell you something about these gang of gobshites. If you ever want to at what multiculturalism does to a city. Look at London. I have always wanted multiculturalism to work. But it’s hard to ignore the damage it does. It is ok im small manageable numbers like we have always had. But when it grows out of control you get….. London. These gang of shithouses who love Liverpool more than anyone and who are more Scouse than anyone and speak for all of us are literally advocating for Liverpool to be slowly transformed into a microcosm of the hellhole that is our capital. They are actively pushing for it. Most of them don’t even have children themselves. And that’s the world they want your children to grow up in. A replica of London in every major city. That’s how much they care about Liverpool. They want it to become the next London. If everything was all sweet and rosey down there I could understand their logic. But it isn’t. And over my dead body I will stand silent while these traitors enable our government to destroy the culture snd good harmony of our city. Absolutely disgusting. They do not speak for us. Even though they think that they can and often try to. Im going to start sharing the odd video of what is happening down in our capital so you can see what they are trying to do to our city. So we can all see the world they are pushing for. “Liverpool is a tolerant city” they always say which is true. But at the same time. We aren’t dickheads. And there is a limit to how nice we are. And this is the last city yiu want to piss off. Because if you piss us off, we bite back harder than anyone. When the Revolution begins. It will be this city that starts it. The left wingers think that because they are a gang of pushovers that the rest of us are too. Think again!
