I asked @steven_kotler how to get into a flow state so we can perform better.
"Flow follows focus"
"Anxiety will block flow in most of us. A little bit is good, little bit sort of primes the brain for focusing on attention and alertness and learning. Too much will block flow."
"The first place to start if you’re training flow is actually the thing that you’ve done your whole life that you’ve probably stopped doing and I will set you back there first."
My conversation with @steven_kotler on flow, cognitive performance, and doing your best work.
Kotler is the executive director of the Flow Research Collective, where he studies flow and the science of peak performance.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How to get so absorbed in what you’re doing that distractions fade.
• How to find a challenge that holds your attention without overwhelming you.
• Why a hobby you gave up might be worth picking up again.
• What frustration tells you when you’re learning and how to respond.
• How to focus on work you don’t feel like doing.
• How to think clearly when there’s too much information, and you’re unsure what to trust.

Flow researcher @steven_kotler explains the 4% rule for challenging yourself.
"We pay the most attention to the task at hand when the challenge of that task slightly exceeds our skill set. So you wanna stretch but not snap."
"If you stayed in that sweet spot, you never plateaued."

Hook em, help em, ask em.
"You don't get to make an ask to any new person you meet until first, you hook them, meaning you find something in common and a reason to know you... Then you help them with something that has nothing to do with you. Then and only then can you make any ask."

Ryan Serhant on the one thing that kills more deals than anything.
"Ego kills more deals than anything."
"Ego kills more careers. More relationships. You play for the other side to win at all times, and then you get to laugh all the way to the bank."

The mental mindshift that changed everything:
"Don't act like the person you used to be. Act like the person you're gonna become. The world is attracted to confidence and competence—be competent while being humbly confident, and people will give you the things that you ask for."

Ryan Serhant explains his 1,000 minutes a day framework.
"You have to treat those thousand minutes like money. If you had a thousand dollars in your pocket and someone took out 5 and ran away, you wouldn't say, here's the rest. But people do that with their time."

Ryan Serhant says the most valuable asset in any business is distribution.
"You can have the greatest product of all time, but if no one knows about it and no one buys it, you have an unknown product that does not sell, and that is a bankrupt business."

The time Ryan Serhant ran out of money and was declined using a debit card on groceries.
"If you don't check your bank account, then you don't have to worry. Anyone who's ever lived paycheck to paycheck, you put stressful things out of sight because it is then out of mind. It's too painful."
