Don&#8217;t let yourself be lulled into inaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex believes this is very much true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He shares that at the beginning of his career he was naive and foolish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When he started in his 20s with the autonomous vehicle company, they were taking a significant amount of technical, regulatory risks and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He had no idea what they were doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What drove him in the next 7 years was a larger vision that there are old school industries that he could help with the devices they were building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He tied most of his energy with this long-term idea and it compounded over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He attributes his success to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex adds that a lot of people give up after a year and most won\u2019t have a bigger idea far in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He doesn\u2019t discount that there is a significant amount of luck in the industry he is working in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, one&#8217;s drive and having a singular long-term focus makes a huge difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay agrees with this and sees the value of having long-term goals to keep you motivated and driven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-focus-on-the-short-term\"><strong>#2: Focus on the short-term<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This may sound counterintuitive to what Alex shared about long-term goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He mentions that focusing on the short term is about starting with today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He advises to have a certain routine in the morning and create structure for your day and be consistent with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, he gets a good start in the morning with a coffee and thinking of the three things he has to get done today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t include checking emails or getting administrative things done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay asks Alex if he does an evaluation of the day and checks if he finishes the three things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says he has to finish the three things or he doesn\u2019t go to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s very important to have a view of the long-term goal and work towards that by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/do-you-push-the-envelope-at-work\/\">achieving your short-term goals<\/a> consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-persistence\"><strong>#3: Persistence<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Being persistent is the key to putting this all together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex shares a quote he really likes which is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cCompanies only die once you give up on them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>No company dies because there is no money, or the founder leaves, or you can\u2019t figure out what to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever it is, the company only dies if you give up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, persistence is vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex shares that he listened to a TedTalk where the speaker&#8217;s goal was to help a billion people around the world who live in inaccessible places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He reached out and said he wanted to offer his drones to help with that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unbelievably, he emailed them multiple times and never got a response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He then found a number and kept leaving a voicemail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEO finally responded and asked him to stop calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex offered to start an internship program for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CEO gave him a chance but he was based in Canada, and they didn\u2019t know how to figure out the visa to hire him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex offered to arrange it himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He then laid out the value he could bring to the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He worked there as an intern for 3 months and he became a full-time employee after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The persistence he had got him in the door and started a very beautiful career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:46px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

the journey is risky and uncertain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-term focus helps you persevere and build over time, which can lead to massive success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you can break down your big goals
