Moment 42 - These 3 Things Will Make You Successful In Life: Jamil Qureshi

I wanted to know f really from you like what role responsibility plays in people's outcomes. Okay, that's a big one. Um You promised me some easy questions. Um so um responsibility is huge. It's just massive. It's um it's it's one of the pre it's one of the um predeterminants of successful outcomes. is our ability to take ownership and accountability. So circumstance and situation push and pull us in different directions on a daily basis. The world is complex, it's uncertain, it's unpredictable, all of those things. The people who perform best have huge levels of response ability and ability to respond to those circumstances and situation, no matter what they are, to drive the best outcomes or opportunities.

So I always said it is a circle of concern. water cooler conversations, the stuff that's going on you know around us, circumstance, situation, incidents and accidents. Then there's a circle of influence. And the circle of influence is where we make choice. That's what it's about. So responsibility is all about choice for me. I absolutely guarantee you now that that uh the cir circumstance and situation is not a predictor of success at um because we know of people who are born into privilege. They're great role models. Had good access to opportunity, to wealth, they had good guidance and good support.

And they ended up dying heroin addicts in prison. We know some people born with a physical disadvantage, now the lack of good role models, now the lack of guidance, lack of support, lack of opportunity. They grew up to be some of the most successful people who have ever walked this earth. So it proves beyond doubt that attitude is more important than intelligence or facts. And I genuinely believe that to be true in all areas of high performance, that attitude is more important than intelligence or facts. I always say give me I will over IQ. any one of my teams and rather of I will over on IQ is high technical expertise I'm talking about the Western world at the moment. High technical expertise is no longer as valuable as it used to be. Um and the reason why high technical expertise is no longer as valuable as it used to be is because we can Google things now. That's why So knowing a lot Isn't where your success is gonna come from. Um it's not what you know which is important. It's how you think about what you know. And how you bring it to life with your character and personality to determine the best outcomes or opportunities. So, you know, I genuinely believe that the only way in which businesses or people will become successful and truly perform to their optimum is taking full accountability and ownership.
