“Beware the old soldier. He’s old for a reason.” – Taylor Sheridan, Lioness
I just finished watching Lioness…
A (banger) show about a small CIA special forces unit that hunts down and takes out the world’s worst people.
They’re playing the highest-stakes game known to man:
A game so risky, so dangerous, and so brutally violent that captain (Zoe Saldana) said to her team:
“If you want a challenge, go fight in the UFC.”
In other words, referees will not save you out here.
You accomplish the mission — no matter how challenging it is — or you die.
Now, imagine you’re in charge of designing a mission strategy for the Lioness team.
Imagine the level of detail you’d need to consider:
Not only setting your target…
…But knowing your target’s target:
Knowing every step he will take before he takes it, so you always stay two steps ahead.
Your back-up plans would need back-up plans.
Every potential problem solved in advance.
Every roadblock removed before you move forward.
Every phase of your plan broken down into clear, precise steps.
Every step executed perfectly.
Because if you find yourself a step out of place…
You and your team die.
Positive thoughts and pretty self-talk ‘aint gonna save you out there.
What will save you?
Clear targets, bulletproof strategy, and sharp, systematic execution.
That’s how high-stakes missions are accomplished, and it’s the only way they’re accomplished…
Whether you’re running a special forces unit.
Launching rockets into space.
Building a business.
Or, creating your life.
That’s right, your life:
The highest-stakes game there is.
And almost everyone plays it with lazy goals, vague strategy, and sloppy execution.
Is it any wonder most people keep falling short?
Keep feeling their lives slip by with no tangible accomplishment to show for it?
Keep shrinking to fit the box society pushed them into, never taking creative control over their own lives?
That’s why I’m taking this workshop so seriously…
