ACCEPTING IGNORANCE

Mar 02, 2023

Accepting Ignorance

Wisdom is just less ignorance over time.

By Eric Bugera

  • You will inevitably start your career from a place of ignorance.
  • You can make significant progress while you continue to learn. 
  • Be loose with your attachments in order to choose the best way to train each client on a per-person basis. 

 

Check Your Ego

It’s a literal impossibility to navigate life without some (often many) instances of complete ignorance – or at the very least, naivete. Neither of these qualities is inherently bad. They are simply signs of a lack of information or experience. Unless you are acting in a willfully ignorant way, embracing your lack of experience is the fast track to improving your own knowledge and client outcomes. However, how you respond to new information that may contradict your pre-existing methods is the real indicator of your desire to improve. It’s easy to call yourself a lifelong learner, but walking the walk can burn from time to...

Start With the End

Tomorrow should be dictated by six months from now.

Abdurahmaan Saloojee is a newsletter contributor from Ottawa, Canada. He enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with cats.

 

  • Taking clients’ goals seriously requires planning for them long-term.
  • Tracking is essential, but it must go hand in hand with reverse engineering what we need to be tracking based on the end goal.
  • Give the client what they want, but give it as much structure and forethought as possible in order to deliver tangible results.

Part of responsible programming is taking our client’s goals seriously, and part of taking their goals seriously is not taking a day-by-day approach to their training. They are paying us for results, and getting there involves small daily progressions that serve the purpose of their larger goals, not coming up with something new every day. Unless their goal specifically has no end result in mind and their intention is just to move around for an...
