Look to the treasure 📍

"Where your treasure is there your heart will be also."

 

We can’t go on just willpower.

 

Humans respond to incentives. Rather than fight this reality, we’ve got to lean into it.

 

What do you believe in? Where’s your gut, your heart?

 

Find ways to align your incentives so that in order to win, you have to do things you want to do and be the kind of person you want to be.

 

This is just as real in your work as any other aspect of your life. Do you feel deep passion for partnering with quality people? Make sure you’re materially incentivized to do so.

 

It’s too easy to treat incentives as separate from personal goals and desires. You do what you need to in your job, and then you do the really good stuff on willpower alone.

 

That’s not sustainable.

 

Don’t trust willpower. Structure incentives.

 

—Isaac
