Most people think success comes from setting goals.
But high achievers know it comes from stacking progress.
Here’s the technique I use:
Step outside your comfort zone on purpose. Daily.
That’s how you grow your knowledge, your energy, and your results.
Not in big leaps.
But in small, repeatable moves.
Like folding a sheet of paper.
Fold it once — that’s one layer of knowledge.
Fold it again — that’s another.
Keep folding — and you’re building a skillset that compounds.
Each time you stretch, you add one fold to your growth.
This is how I trained myself to operate with high performance, even in the most resource-limited environments.
It’s not a mindset trick.
It’s a discipline of action.
Try this today:
Pick one task that feels unfamiliar or slightly uncomfortable.
Complete it. Not to finish it perfectly, but to fold your page once more.
Repeat that, and discomfort stops feeling scary.
It starts feeling like progress.
Your reward: a boost of dopamine ;)
And that's a GUT time ;)

This is gold I felt called out a bit..
Sometimes I wait and wait to perfect something, then end up not doing it, sometimes tell myself am not fully equipped intellectually for the task and won't do it. The post is great people need to learn how to step out of thier comfort and just get things done. Mistakes aren't failures they are steps you take to get to your destination.
I saw your interview with Dr. Yildiz. Awesome interview.
Thanks for the tip.
