#3376: Why Smart People Don't Get Anything Done
About this episode
A lot of smart people listen to this show and that includes you. But here's the thing I’ve noticed: smart people are often the slowest to take action. Today, I break down why intelligence doesn’t always lead to execution and why overthinking, perfectionism, or too much analysis can actually keep you stuck. If you’ve ever wondered why you know so much but still don’t move, this episode is for you. So let’s get into it and solve that problem.
Show Notes:
[02:30]#1 When you're smart, that means you know a lot of stuff. And knowledge sometimes disempowers you just as much as it empowers you.
[08:35]#2 The key to wisdom exists on a higher plane and knowledge is understanding and knowing which knowledge to use and which knowledge to ignore at certain times, in certain contexts and why you are doing so.
[18:07]#3 You must be choosy with your intelligence and knowledge.
