The Hard Thing Rule #1731

In our last +1, we talked about Emerson’s year-to-year growth in chess.

I thought out loud with you as I tried to wrap my brain around the contributing factors to his growth and concluded that THE factor at least tied for first was the fact that Emerson had a VERY clear Heroic Target he was VERY excited to hit.

He knew what he wanted. We WOOPed It. Then he got to work.

And…

He worked hard for a FULL YEAR.

And…

As a result, he made remarkable progress.
