The Mindset Shift That Unlocks Growth

Every stage of growth demands stronger boundaries and every boundary you set gets tested by the success it creates.

Dating → stop being needy → attention increases → boundaries get tested.
Business → niche down → demand rises → you must say no.
Nations → freedom → prosperity → new moral debates.

Boundaries aren’t walls. They’re commitments to who you’re becoming.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
As you set boundaries, you get better results that test
your boundaries. If you're a guy learning to become attractive
to women, one of the first things you have to
learn how to do is learn how to set boundaries.
Because guys who want to be attractive to women are
super needy, right, And then so they learn how to
set boundaries. But then the next thing that happens is
they start meeting women, and the meeting of women will

(00:23):
then test those boundaries, like that's the very next thing
that will happen. And so when you are starting in
a business, a lot of people want to take everyone right,
and when they're willing to serve everyone, they end up
serving no one. And so one of the first steps
that they have to learn is to pick an avatar

(00:44):
right and go, okay, so I'm going to serve these people.
And then once they do that, all of a sudden,
more people want to work with them, including people that
they shouldn't be working with, and so they have to
learn how to say no to those people. And this
is is it something that's like a layer thing or
an onion thing or a ladder thing. Every time you

(01:05):
set boundaries, your boundaries will be tested at the next level.
And this happens over and over and over again. It's
a universal concept that I've seen to be everywhere that
boundaries exist. An interesting macro version of this is the
United States set boundaries on how it was going to

(01:25):
operate with declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and
all the laws that is set up. And those were
really amazing laws, and they created a level, an unparalleled
level of abundance that made people then question and discuss

(01:46):
boundaries at a different level. And that's what the Civil
War was. Slavery wasn't even a conversation at the Revolutionary
war age, but then we grew the level of abundance
that we could have a deeper conversation and test boundaries
at a different level. And then post Civil War we

(02:10):
set up pretty good boundaries, but then it happened again.
And so like the woke movement is a test was
a testing of boundaries, right, because we created so much
abundance that people could sit in their rooms and be
concerned about the tiniest little thing. Right, And so every
level of growth requires a boundary to be set, and

(02:34):
the result will be a testing of that boundary. From
the good thing that you get from setting the boundary
