A Most Debilitating Mindset
![Page 2: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Long time ago, I took a couple of cooking classes.
![Page 3: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Actually, I took the same class twice.
![Page 4: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Two different teachers, two different sets of recipes, same type of food.
![Page 5: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The first teacher was super specific.
![Page 6: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Put in exact amounts, cook for an exact time.
![Page 7: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Second teacher was really flexible.
![Page 8: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Put in some of this, cook it for a while, until it's done.
![Page 9: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The first one let everybody get the exact same result.
![Page 10: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The second one allowed people to experiment.
![Page 11: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
To get their own result.
![Page 12: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Of course, some people (ahem) in the second group had some pretty, uh, interesting outcomes.
![Page 13: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
But later when I got home, I had a lot more flexibility when I decided to try to "wing it."
![Page 14: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Which let me take one recipe, and play around with it until I got a lot of variations.
![Page 15: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Many people like the idea of having a step by step, rock solid plan.
![Page 16: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Making money, meeting people, learning how to speak in public while feeling confident.
![Page 17: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Unfortunately, anytime you are doing anything other than cooking, or building a birdhouse that involves YOU operating ON a bunch of "stuff," you
are going to have TONS of unknown variables.
![Page 18: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Namely, all those other people you will be interacting with.
![Page 19: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Every single one of those people come filled with their own desires, fears, strengths and limitations.
![Page 20: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Expecting some kind of surefire, step by step system is pretty ridiculous.
![Page 21: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Kind of like a football coach telling his team EXACTLY what plays to execute in the EXACT order, before the game started, and regardless of what the
other team did.
![Page 22: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Even in sports, where the rules are clearly defined, AND there are people who are watching everybody make sure they follow the rules, you need
TONS of flexibility in order to succeed.
![Page 23: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Which is why you HAVE to expect to "fail" on a regular basis.
![Page 24: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
If you think you can NOT fail, that means you think you can predict how OTHER PEOPLE will behave.
![Page 25: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
You can ONLY put your best foot forward, regardless of what you're doing.
![Page 26: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
You will rarely have ANY IDEA how the other person is going to respond, EVEN IF you know them well.
![Page 27: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
So it's better to get over the idea of some kind of "step by step" process or some kind of memorized line you say in any situation.
![Page 28: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
A much better idea is to simply TRY SOMETHING, and see what happens.
![Page 29: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Then based on what happens, try something else.
![Page 30: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
It's only "failure" if you convince yourself that you can predict the future and you EXPECT a certain result.
![Page 31: The Dangers Of Step By Step Instructions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5878cf5e1a28ab917a8b4ae9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
If you shift from "I hope this works" to "let's see what happens," it's not only a lot more fun, but you'll make progress a lot more quickly.
