Dan Martell - What founders can learn from the #oscars2022 debacle. #willsmith #chrisrock #shorts

00:00:00.000 Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars

00:00:02.980 for making a joke about his wife.

00:00:04.420 His wife had alopecia, affects her hair.

00:00:06.460 She decided to shave her head.

00:00:07.780 Chris Rock makes a joke.

00:00:08.980 Jada, I love you.

00:00:10.120 G.I. Jane 2, can't wait to see it.

00:00:12.280 Sensitive subject.

00:00:14.120 Will went up and slapped him.

00:00:16.100 Oh, wow.

00:00:17.240 I share all that because Will went up on stage afterwards.

00:00:20.820 What he said was that when you're at the top,

00:00:24.260 the devil will show up.

00:00:25.400 I feel like a lot of founders do that.

00:00:27.360 When things are going great in their business,

00:00:29.520 they add complexity to it.

00:00:31.620 If you're focusing on multiple different initiatives,

00:00:34.140 I want you to start with the things

00:00:37.100 that have the least amount of effort,

00:00:39.280 what I call minimum effective dose

00:00:41.100 to highest potential result.

00:00:43.440 Most people don't understand

00:00:44.520 that doing three or four or five different things

00:00:46.740 have a cost.

00:00:48.140 And if you don't have enough profit to invest in them,

00:00:51.660 then you're spreading yourself thin

00:00:53.320 and all those projects are gonna get

00:00:55.040 very little amounts of attention each,

00:00:57.160 which means it's going to reduce the probability of success.
