If you\u2019re about that hustle culture life then you\u2019ve either entertained the idea of burning the boats or you already took the leap. Is it necessary though? Is there a link to being successful and leaving yourself no option for retreat?\nMatt Higgins has been on Shark Tank as one of the sharks, he\u2019s vice chairman of the Miami Dolphins, guest lecturer teaching at Harvard, and CEO of a private investment firm, RSE Ventures among other things. His success is mind-blowing and at a level very few people ever achieve.\xa0\nThe plot twist is he grew up broke, selling flowers, working at McDonald\u2019s and actually made the decision to drop out of high school at 16 years old! He\u2019s sharing why Burn the Boats, the title of his latest book, isn\u2019t the idea you think it is. Matt points out that 48$ of people have a plan A and believes that when you spend time coming up with Plan B you\u2019re more likely to not even give Plan A the effort it deserves and therefore minimize your chance of success.\nThis conversation is about getting real with yourself, facing everything that comes your way,and not retreating to Plan B, C or D. The idea that Matt shares is about being so totally committed to your Plan A that success is the only option.\nEliminate choices. Fully commit. Experience new levels of success.\n\u201cThere\u2019s a gravitational pull of incrementalism because incrementalism is the only thing for which we have data to validate our choices.\u201d\n\nFollow Matt Higgins:\nWebsite: https://www.burntheboatsbook.com/\xa0\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BurnTheBoatsBook\xa0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mhiggins/\xa0\n\nSponsors:\nVisit http://www.RealVision.com/ImpactTheory to save 20% on a full year of access to The Real Vision Academy.\nVisit http://www.srimu.com/impact to unlock 10% off artisanally crafted NOT cheeses made with plant based ingredients for a delicious new take on the cheeses you adore!\nGo to athleticgreens.com/impact and receive a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase!\xa0\nGo to http://aura.com/impact for a 14 day free trial to see if your personal information has been leaked online.\nSign up for a one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://www.shopify.com/impact\nThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
