You can't give 100% to your work and also give 100% to your family and also give 100% to your hobbies. You only have 100% so you gotta be careful. You gotta leave something on the table. I've tried to give 100% to everything I do and end up giving 0% to everything because it is too overwhelming. Interesting concept. Thanks Jocko!
@Danko Kapitan I'm talking in terms of linear time and not effort. I give myself 8 hours a day to be alone to relax or sleep and get away. That leaves about 65% of the day for other things. I get it if you have an emergency and need to work 36 hours straight or something but the down time recharges you so that you are able to give 100% when needed.
God who exists beyond time gets around that by allowing each person paralel lives, so if you missed out... don't worry, you actually didn't. I've actually seen one of my paralel lives, i'm a friend of this girl i never got a chance to date, she was my elementary school crush, it wasn't nearly as shocking as i imagined, it was more like, yeah actually this makes sense...cause I love her so much and I decided in another direction, love doesn't have limits like we think but seems to for immersions sake.
I think you can absolutely give 100% effort towards all of those things they may not be 100% compared to the 100% you give if that’s all you focus on. The key is 100% effort for all endeavors
You can give 100% to each of those things, but not at the same time. “Balance” is going all in on whatever your task at hand is. Its all about how much time is allocated to each thing. So the limiter is how much time you have. So i only care about a few things. I go all in on work from 6am to 3pm. Then i go all in on learning for the next hour. Then i go all in on spending top quality time with my family etc. This isn’t a hard and fast schedule but going all in on one thing at a time is essential. If im home with my family and kinda spending time with them, kinda checking work emails on my phone, paying a little attention to the book im reading…. Then i fail at everything.
Only way for you to know he's smart is by you being smarter than him. I always laugh when a d... person rates anothet persons intellect.. no way for any of you Jocko fans to know.
yeah, listening to older clips i could tell that topics in academia completely missed him, e.g., thinking book smart people talk about philosophy with each other. It's nice to see him branching out.
The dude is a friend of, and has been on, the Dave Ramsey show, a conservative personal finance show Good information there about finances and lots of use of the word "ROI" so much that's all you can think about it's lost all meaning
“On the way to discovering what we love, we will find everything we hate, everything that blocks our path to what we desire.” - Waking life you never end up where you intend to go in life. Unless you find what you hate first... -then it gets easier to see the path forward
My grandfather sat me down when I was 18 and told me “you can’t do everything” and that really pissed me off because I thought I could but you can’t. You have to make sacrifices.
Money is a abstract representation of value. Money makes money. Once you have enough money... The money matters less... When you have no money the money really seems to matter... But it’s not really money that is lacking. It’s that value is absent. Time is existence. Each of us only has a limited amount of time. Prioritize your needs and develop assets. Developing actual value and chasing purpose creates a strong vibrant life. There is a relationship between creating value and having value... That results in wealth development. Don’t chase money. Develop value and the money comes to you. And if the money does not appear... You don’t really notice because you have value. If there is a famine and the stores are all closed... And one person has some potatoes and chickens and another person has cash and gold... Who has value? Each situation is different and so cover the needs and create a comprehensive nest egg that has value... And everything takes care of itself in time.
Great advice. I think a lot of people struggle to choose the things they will not do. That combined with making “being busy” a badge of honour ends up being a recipe for no balance in life.
S.W.O.T. It…list the strengths, weakness, opportunities, threats…do the strengths and opportunities outweigh the weakness and threats. I learned this and Tryn to use it in my life. Thx Jocko and crew! I appreciate y’all…Emma out!
As always, Jocko & Echo Charles are right on... one other aspect to consider with trade-offs is that you can shift the percentage of time for each over time...Jocko mentions this with the focus on his SEAL team while on active duty vs now, but this is a key point...periodically one aspect of your life may demand more than the rest and to maintain healthy relationships, just-in-time skills, health, and income/vocation/avocation, the ability to pivot and recognize when to do so and to what extent is key.
My four things.... 1- Family 2- My purpose (inspiring people to eat less dead animal body parts) 3- Health + Fitness 4- Self-Development Thank you for the reflection on this
Great video! Care about less, and gain more of what you really want. Many things people are into may be detracting from the things they really care about.
Nice thumbnail. Three rules of real estate: location, location, location Life is really simple we just make it complex. SOmetimes a "better half" is a worthy resource. I found we can do things together that I could never do alone. Dad was big on making a list. We do this when there is an abundance of options. Yes, and prioritize, weight, evaluate. It is a tool. Econ 101 Guns & butter. 4 things? Love of God, country(world), self, family Dedicate-ed to service (with a smile, would you like fries with that?) Attitude of gratitude - PMA Positive mental attitude. Ever changing priorities - learn to juggle (whatever we do we do with passion, little things count) Try to not make it worse. I like process improvement. Knowing it (our work and love life) will never be perfect we accept that grace which we are given - and try to pass it on. Love you guys. I got projects - not just for me. When we left our billet in Japan I remember cleaning the house - It was in better condition than when we moved in. Treat people this way too. I am not sure but think they were going to turn it back to the locals and it would be torn down. This is not important. It happens eventually. Sill the future does not prohibit us from doing our best today, every day. There are some words in the Bible - for example that don't or for me didn't make any sense until I got older and have been through the valley. Now some of it makes sense, I say wait for it. If it was meant to be it will come to pass. FYI: The Lord answers prayers, sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes unfortunately it is no and then (here is a biggie I learned from a friend) the answer may be "Not yet." Some things need to be earned. As it should be. In my old age I am trying to figure out why you all fight so hard for fame and fortune. It might be the difference between climbing the mountain, sitting at the summit and coasting down the other side. End game is the same what did we leave in our wake? Net good, I hope so.
Not everyone knows what they want to do. Some people have more than one passion that tear them in different directions. Some have no passion for anything in particular. Many just want to get Iaid. What to do
From the conan books regarding the god he worships" Their chief is Crom. He dwells on a great mountain. What use to call on him? Little he cares if men live or die. Better to be silent than to call his attention to you; he will send you dooms, not fortune! He is grim and loveless, but at birth he breathes power to strive and slay into a man's soul. What else shall men ask of the gods? Simply said you have everything
To the title: I don't want everything, I already have everything. 3:21 Jocko's right though. Life is full of surprises, we can appreciate that while there's things on the table that we would love to have , there's a cost to those things and that if you ignore that you're going to cut yourself short. Pay attention to your life decisions and make the best with what you have... What do you value the most?
thomas sowell is a great scholar who is not worn down, weak, biased or, woke type stuff. there is alot of vids of him and his stuuf here. his books i have a couple and plan to buy more. thing is most arent like $12 some are bout $30 if startbuing some would add up and they are alot of reading / things to take in. i already have too many books need to properly read. will put more thomas sowell books in my library after read more books already have and it works put. dosent surprise me jacko sees and respects thomas s.
So pertinent to this video... Some teachings of Christ Matthew 6:19 - 24 [19] Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, (ESV) Matthew 6:20 [20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. [21] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33#But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34#“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
You can! What you have to give up to focus on all those things are mountains of achievements or mountains of excellence. You spread those out amongst others, and we all broaden our focus and achieve less and be less excellent. And we layer the profits of our many dynamic and balanced ways upon each other. There's enough people doing 12 hours a day for $2/hr and 7 days a week and enough people hungry and thirsty and untapped that this must be true. Because if we're all treading narrow paths at greater expenses, trapping them in those emptier worlds, presumably we could balance out and spread out the capacity.
If you enjoy topics about mastery and masculinity, I invite you to explore the videos on the Mastery Order Channel. Challenge yourself with some ideas about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire. We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own thoughts so that others can also benefit from them. All the best to you!
I try to explain to my customers that the ROI on solar is excellent if you do your own install. That’s my businesses main focus. I do the design and provide all the materials and then provide technical support for them to install their own solar. The business is northwest Independence, name Tim Burke. I also make batteries.
That’s how I bough my house, made a list of the top 3 things we had to have, everything else I could work on or wasn’t that important. Here was my list. 1. Had to have 4 rooms 2. Had to have a yard for my boys 3. Had to have two bathrooms 😂😂😂
Being a good agent includes communication of exactly what that agent told you! Glad you were in good hands! If you need a Florida Agnet, lmk!! Nice message!
There are solutions sometimes. Tradeoffs are similar to opportunity cost. It all depends on the situation and as you mature you gain clarity on the difference. Sometimes solutions are a product of dedication and intensity, sometimes tradeoffs are gravity. Oh and you can focus on family, God, Job and self improvement. Its called the grind, its called life, its called attacking until you cant. Balance is about doing all you can in the important directions the best you can and keep showing up when sometimes thats all you can do. With all that said, it can’t be all goal driven. Sometimes doing things that only yield self gratification are a balance thats needed to keep showing up. That means if i want to watch a ballgame- guess what, thats going to help me show up when it counts. Balance, balance, balance. It cant be all rigor.
Love this podcast. Thank you guys for the constant iron sharpening iron. I haven't read Sowell's book, so I don't know the broader context of this "there are no solutions, only tradeoffs" quote... but the way you position this quote is a horrible summation of modern life & economics. There are many legitimate solutions that show that economics is not a zero-sum game. People can produce exponential breakthroughs (solutions) that make the economic pie bigger for everyone (steam engine, electricity, writing systems, computers, etc etc etc). There was an age when humans thought of economics as a zero-sum game where for one aristocrat to get richer, he had to make others poorer; or for one country to get richer, they had to invade another to gain land and resources (many references on this: Harari's book Sapiens is one). I could provide many examples as to why positioning this quote as a truism of life and economics is a horrible teaching. Successful entrepreneurs and leaders absolutely work with others and themselves to create legitimate solutions that benefit humanity. Finding these solutions is what separates someone worth $20/hr economically from someone who is worth $20,000/hr. And people who master a balanced life find similar solutions outside of business. Please consider seriously clarifying your message on this. Thanks!
Aha! this is my big thing. You can only focus on one thing at a time. Most things in life worth working for require periods of concentrated effort. Balance is not a goal, it is a tightroap, the tip of a peak. Balance is only ever momentary. But I believe you can put all the pieces of a great life together in a fairly short period of time through the process of elimination, Research, developement and Innovation. Once you have it all in place, everything requires maintenance. You name it ... Freedom, heatlh and fitness, financial independence, love and the pursuit of happiness. It all takes work, one step at a time, day in day out.
Financial stability is necessary to have long-term relationships In the military they tend to have monogamous long-term relationships because they have financial resources to help them
I bought my house in 2006. I live in Roy,Wa. One of my favorites perks is listening to Ft.Lewis do maneuvers, range work? Apaches, Chinooks, Strykers, Ranger reg. Airborne, drops, artillery all of it . Some people don't like it but I dig it! If you had 1 wish? Peace of mind?
Buy a place and live in the back yard which becomes your own camp. Small structure or tent, garden, shade cloth, outdoor shower etc. Let the lady live in the big house or rent out the big house and live simply.
Having realistic wants is a good idea. Wanting to live humbly helps. I don't want a big ass house. I don't care about a sports car or flashy boat. I just want peace and a little garden.

Jocko is so smart. I love how he learned the term ROI and no wont stop shoehorning it into all of his podcasts as much as possible. He honestly like reslly really smart when it comes to economics. He could probably be a real estate agent if the whole combat military larp doesmt work out

We need to redefine what 100% is. Be realistic with priorities and expectations and give 100% to those things. That way you can give 100%.
I think you can absolutely give 100% effort towards all of those things they may not be 100% compared to the 100% you give if that’s all you focus on. The key is 100% effort for all endeavors

Thomas Sowell is a really smart guy. Glad Jocko is talking about him
Only way for you to know he's smart is by you being smarter than him. I always laugh when a d... person rates anothet persons intellect.. no way for any of you Jocko fans to know.
Idk, he has some twisted political thoughts…
You can see that Jocko started learning economics, it did him good. Also, since than he keeps saying ROI 😂
yeah, listening to older clips i could tell that topics in academia completely missed him, e.g., thinking book smart people talk about philosophy with each other. It's nice to see him branching out.
The dude is a friend of, and has been on, the Dave Ramsey show, a conservative personal finance show
Good information there about finances and lots of use of the word "ROI" so much that's all you can think about it's lost all meaning
ROI is a good concept
lol his new favorite term
I choose to limit my TH-cam consumption to mostly Jocko videos. The tradeoff of watching Jocko more produces a better ROI

My grandfather sat me down when I was 18 and told me “you can’t do everything” and that really pissed me off because I thought I could but you can’t. You have to make sacrifices.
Yeah it's all about sacrifice. I sacrificed some virgins to the sun god and my harvest is much better this year
@@deanfowles3707 lmfao what?
@@Pronoodleeater126 He said he sacrificed virgians to the sun god and his harvest had been much better this year.
Thomas Sowell is criminally under appreciated.
he is too truthful about histic facts on issues such as slavery
Thank you very much Mr. Willink and Echo Charles! God bless you and your families and all the audience!
Jocko needs to interview Thomas Sowell before he passes away. Thomas Sowell is a genius.
Great so see how much Jocko appreciates Thomas Sowell. Sowell is truly a genius and a huge influence in my own life.
Money is a abstract representation of value.
Money makes money.
Once you have enough money...
The money matters less...
When you have no money the money really seems to matter...
But it’s not really money that is lacking.
It’s that value is absent.
Time is existence.
Each of us only has a limited amount of time.
Prioritize your needs and develop assets.
Developing actual value and chasing purpose creates a strong vibrant life.
There is a relationship between creating value and having value...
That results in wealth development.
Don’t chase money.
Develop value and the money comes to you.
And if the money does not appear...
You don’t really notice because you have value.
If there is a famine and the stores are all closed...
And one person has some potatoes and chickens and another person has cash and gold...
Who has value?
Each situation is different and so cover the needs and create a comprehensive nest egg that has value...
And everything takes care of itself in time.
Great advice. I think a lot of people struggle to choose the things they will not do. That combined with making “being busy” a badge of honour ends up being a recipe for no balance in life.
And those placing that badge on themselves usually are oblivious that everyone they interact with is just as stressed for time.
Of the 5 Sowell books I've read, Discrimination & Disparites is my favorite
Peace to the gods blessing us with the these two awesome guys and sharing there knowledge and understanding about life !
The timing of this clip is perfect! I needed this advice today.
Thomas Sowell is a great intellectual! I have read many of his books and recommend him too!
The philosopher warrior...
SOWELL ROCKS!
Echo: I need to spend more time on my fashion 🤣
S.W.O.T. It…list the strengths, weakness, opportunities, threats…do the strengths and opportunities outweigh the weakness and threats. I learned this and Tryn to use it in my life. Thx Jocko and crew! I appreciate y’all…Emma out!
When it comes to freedom there is no trade off
“You got interviewed”!?!!?! 😂
This is some great advice from Poppa Jocko I wish I had 10 years ago
This is the best example for being balance in life as possible. Great job
Keep the money coming with as little time invested. I like it and it resonates
Dr. Sowell is a National Treasure.
separation is the biggest illusion. Everything is already yours
Time is $. My Dad always said.
Miss him... wish I had some time back instead of $
As always, Jocko & Echo Charles are right on... one other aspect to consider with trade-offs is that you can shift the percentage of time for each over time...Jocko mentions this with the focus on his SEAL team while on active duty vs now, but this is a key point...periodically one aspect of your life may demand more than the rest and to maintain healthy relationships, just-in-time skills, health, and income/vocation/avocation, the ability to pivot and recognize when to do so and to what extent is key.
Having a cooperative and understanding partner also helps. Stay away from the demanding ones who arent looking out for YOUR best interest

Jocko has found Thomas Sowell. Nice.
Covering Sowell books would be a great podcast idea! Maybe you can invite one of his students for it
This is why you should only do what you are the most enthusiastic about, it's like a giant illuminated sign saying "your best life is here"
Not everyone knows what they want to do. Some people have more than one passion that tear them in different directions. Some have no passion for anything in particular. Many just want to get Iaid. What to do
I would love to see Mr. Sowell on your podcast.

thomas sowell is a great scholar who is not worn down, weak, biased or, woke type stuff.
there is alot of vids of him and his stuuf here.
his books i have a couple and plan to buy more. thing is most arent like $12 some are bout $30 if startbuing some would add up and they are alot of reading / things to take in. i already have too many books need to properly read.
will put more thomas sowell books in my library after read more books already have and it works put.
dosent surprise me jacko sees and respects thomas s.
his books not 12 i forgot to put not. my point was they arentexactly cheap

So pertinent to this video... Some teachings of Christ
Matthew 6:19 - 24
[19] Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, (ESV)
Matthew 6:20
[20] but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
[21] For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33#But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34#“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
You can! What you have to give up to focus on all those things are mountains of achievements or mountains of excellence. You spread those out amongst others, and we all broaden our focus and achieve less and be less excellent. And we layer the profits of our many dynamic and balanced ways upon each other.
There's enough people doing 12 hours a day for $2/hr and 7 days a week and enough people hungry and thirsty and untapped that this must be true. Because if we're all treading narrow paths at greater expenses, trapping them in those emptier worlds, presumably we could balance out and spread out the capacity.

There are solutions sometimes. Tradeoffs are similar to opportunity cost. It all depends on the situation and as you mature you gain clarity on the difference. Sometimes solutions are a product of dedication and intensity, sometimes tradeoffs are gravity.
Oh and you can focus on family, God, Job and self improvement. Its called the grind, its called life, its called attacking until you cant. Balance is about doing all you can in the important directions the best you can and keep showing up when sometimes thats all you can do.
With all that said, it can’t be all goal driven. Sometimes doing things that only yield self gratification are a balance thats needed to keep showing up. That means if i want to watch a ballgame- guess what, thats going to help me show up when it counts. Balance, balance, balance. It cant be all rigor.

Ah, Jocko is going down the Sowell rabbit hole. Good luck to you.
Love the message
Yep 👍
Love this podcast. Thank you guys for the constant iron sharpening iron. I haven't read Sowell's book, so I don't know the broader context of this "there are no solutions, only tradeoffs" quote... but the way you position this quote is a horrible summation of modern life & economics. There are many legitimate solutions that show that economics is not a zero-sum game. People can produce exponential breakthroughs (solutions) that make the economic pie bigger for everyone (steam engine, electricity, writing systems, computers, etc etc etc). There was an age when humans thought of economics as a zero-sum game where for one aristocrat to get richer, he had to make others poorer; or for one country to get richer, they had to invade another to gain land and resources (many references on this: Harari's book Sapiens is one). I could provide many examples as to why positioning this quote as a truism of life and economics is a horrible teaching. Successful entrepreneurs and leaders absolutely work with others and themselves to create legitimate solutions that benefit humanity. Finding these solutions is what separates someone worth $20/hr economically from someone who is worth $20,000/hr. And people who master a balanced life find similar solutions outside of business. Please consider seriously clarifying your message on this. Thanks!
Omg! This is the most valuable video.
Oh great! wowsa!
Aha! this is my big thing. You can only focus on one thing at a time. Most things in life worth working for require periods of concentrated effort. Balance is not a goal, it is a tightroap, the tip of a peak. Balance is only ever momentary. But I believe you can put all the pieces of a great life together in a fairly short period of time through the process of elimination, Research, developement and Innovation. Once you have it all in place, everything requires maintenance. You name it ... Freedom, heatlh and fitness, financial independence, love and the pursuit of happiness. It all takes work, one step at a time, day in day out.
Back in the day😂😭
Financial stability is necessary to have long-term relationships
In the military they tend to have monogamous long-term relationships because they have financial resources to help them
I have allot of respect for Joko, I just wish he would say that Faith in the Lord is a priority as well.
Balance is important in every aspect of your life. Thank you Jocko ❤
Balance is something that has always eluded me

Thomas Sowell's work should be required in all American schools and universities -- what a changed nation and world we'd have!
"Its gonna be a big yard but its gonna have a small house, or its gonna be a small house but it has a big yard"
Real talk 🤔
This is awesome.
I bought my house in 2006. I live in Roy,Wa. One of my favorites perks is listening to Ft.Lewis do maneuvers, range work? Apaches, Chinooks, Strykers, Ranger reg. Airborne, drops, artillery all of it . Some people don't like it but I dig it!
If you had 1 wish? Peace of mind?
Sold me out. Nice
Black Rednecks and White Liberals is a really good book.
This is an incredible excerpt!
Buy a place and live in the back yard which becomes your own camp. Small structure or tent, garden, shade cloth, outdoor shower etc. Let the lady live in the big house or rent out the big house and live simply.
Having realistic wants is a good idea. Wanting to live humbly helps. I don't want a big ass house. I don't care about a sports car or flashy boat. I just want peace and a little garden.
Jocko for El Presidente
This is so good.
As a mathematician I vehemently disagree with the claim that there are no solutions.

For you . In no one and free
as the great philosopher Nic Cage once said, "we don't get a lot of things to care about"
That was about as useful as "You can be immortal. Just dont die!" 😕😕

Jocko is always a bit savage to Echo. Not sure why but Echo needs to aasert his value the way they discuss on the podcast
Can we have JOCKO WILLINK 2024?

Thomas Sowell should be required reading for EVERYONE ... the guy is a genius
If you enjoy topics about mastery and masculinity, I invite you to explore the videos on the Mastery Order Channel.
Challenge yourself with some ideas about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire.
We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own thoughts so that others can also benefit from them.
All the best to you!
Jocko is so smart. I love how he learned the term ROI and no wont stop shoehorning it into all of his podcasts as much as possible. He honestly like reslly really smart when it comes to economics. He could probably be a real estate agent if the whole combat military larp doesmt work out
well im done giving up anything
