Dec 22, 2024
Lecture Notes: Lessons from Michael Jordan and "Who Not How"
Introduction
Michael Jordan, renowned as the greatest basketball player of all time
Selected third overall by the Chicago Bulls
Chicago Bulls had a poor record of 27-55 before Jordan
Made playoffs every season despite initial losing records
Success attributed not just to individual talent but to teamwork:
Key figures: Scottie Pippen and Coach Phil Jackson
Importance of Teamwork
Teamwork leads to success in personal and professional life
Inspired by the book "Who Not How" by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Ben Hardy
Focus on four main lessons from the book to achieve goals more efficiently
Lesson 1: Freedom of Time
Traditional approach: "How can I achieve this goal?"
Suggested approach: "Who can help me achieve this?"
Example: Richie, a teenager, makes money selling watermelons instead of working a summer job
Emphasizes asking for help and utilizing others to save time
Lesson 2: Freedom of Money
Time is valuable; money avoids people who don’t value their time
Investing in "who" can replace costly "how" in terms of time
Opportunity cost of doing everything yourself
Importance of investing in people to focus on higher impact activities
Lesson 3: Freedom of Relationship
Quality of relationships impacts success
Build relationships by providing value first
Avoid relationships based solely on "what's in it for me"
Example: Providing value before asking for favors
Lesson 4: Freedom of Purpose
Bigger sense of purpose enhances meaning in life
Collaboration with "who" expands vision
Example: NASA janitor’s perspective of contributing to moon landing
Understanding the larger purpose of one's role
Practical Application

Find "who" to take over these tasks to focus on strengths
Conclusion
To build wealth and achieve success, focus on the "who" behind your goals
