In this episode, John Sanei and Erik Kruger discuss the concept of "accretion" and its significance in personal and professional growth.
They explore the tendency to seek shortcuts to success and the frustration that arises from this mindset. Erik emphasize the importance of recognizing the value of accumulated small decisions and actions over time, which ultimately shape one's life, business, and relationships.
They draw insights from historical examples, such as the race to the South Pole and the contrasting strategies of Robert Scott and Roald Amundsen. The discussion highlights the difference between maximum speed and maximum sustainable pace, emphasizing the need for intentional and consistent progress rather than burnout-inducing intensity.
John and Erik reflect on their own practices and adjustments in light of the concept of accretion, emphasizing the importance of relaxation, patience, and elegant ambition. They also stress the need to be intentional in selecting the right actions and behaviors to accumulate over time.
The episode concludes with key takeaways, including being patient, reflecting on weekly achievements, and avoiding interruptions to the process of accretion.
