A 15-Minute Exercise to Expose Where You Are 'Playing Small'

in

I stumbled onto this idea via Sahil Bloom’s newsletter (which often covers not exactly what I need to move my portfolio career forward but then every once in a while it’s a home run.) This is a really, really good idea to get some clarity about where you might be “playing small.”

Sit down with a small group of friends or trusted intellectual sparring partners. Speak for 10-15 minutes on your business and focus areas.

Then work to ask and answer a few key questions:

  • Where are you playing small that you could be playing much, much bigger?

  • What is holding you back from playing that bigger game?

  • Is it real or imagined?

If you go through this exercise, I guarantee you'll uncover a few areas where you could be thinking bigger. Try it and let me know what you learn.

I am setting this up for myself next week and will circle back if it is as useful as I think it is going to be!
