Episode notes
Power Often Lives With Gatekeepers
- Jay generalizes the fence story: the person with money often doesn't hold decision power.
- Influence frequently sits with assistants or gatekeepers, so target who actually controls access or opinion.
Use 'I'll Figure It Out' Mindset
- Do adopt an 'I'll figure it out' mindset when given vague goals and focus on outcomes not methods.
- Try creative use of available resources to find efficient solutions and build repeatable systems.
Solve Problems By Reusing Resources
- Do inventory and repurpose resources around you instead of claiming you lack them.
- Use creativity to solve problems because creativity can often replace scarce resources.
