Can you tell us how important preparation has been to your success and going a step further ? How important is extreme preparation going way above and beyond ? What would be considered ordinarily great preparation to our success ?
Preparation , but not the kind of preparation most people think about . It's what I call extreme preparation . 99% of the time .
And so when thinking about that project , there wasn't someone to call up or someone's book to read about how they did it right there was literally like a blank campus and that can be very discouraging , but also it can be , you know , sort of enlivening . But preparation , that's where preparation is so key because you don't know what you're gonna encounter out there . You don't know what you're gonna face .
I want to switch gears and talk about one of my favorite topics , which has been one of the main ingredients of my success , which I've been teaching for the last 20 years . Preparation , but not the kind of preparation most people think about . It's what I call extreme preparation .
How important is extreme preparation going way above and beyond ? What would be considered ordinarily great preparation to our success ? And as part of this , can you tell us about spending more than 50 days in total solitude at Buddhist retreats with no reading , writing or eye contact with other people and also tell us about the year in a food science lab , creating formulas that measure the carbs and protein of organic coconut oil , cashew butter , organic apple powder , amber , honey , organic rolled ose , organic buckwheat flour and more than 10 other ingredients .
