Oppenheimer is crushing at the box office right now 💥
And the Founders podcast has a timely episode breaking down some of the habits and mindsets of director Christopher Nolan.
Something about Nolan that comes up over and over again is how obsessed he gets with movie projects 😵💫
Nolan’s words…
The only way I know how to work is to sort of burrow in on one project very obsessively.
People will say to me, “There are people online who are obsessed with Inception or obsessed with Memento.”
They’re asking me to comment on that, as if I thought it were weird or something, and I’m like, Well, I was obsessed with it for years. Genuinely obsessed with it. So it doesn’t strike me as weird. . . I feel like I have managed to wrap them up in it the way I try to wrap myself up.
It’s a good way to get ahead in business: become obsessed with your craft.
Imagine you open a bakery in your town because you hear bakeries are great money-makers 🤑
But then another bakery opens up right beside yours, and the guy running that bakery is absolutely obsessed with baking. He’s read all the books, watches all the YouTube videos, works longer hours and puts more care and attention into every detail of the business.
It’s going to be very hard to compete with someone like that. Especially if you’re mainly in it for the money 😕
So if you’re not sure what kind of business you should start, take the advice of Founders podcast host David Senra…
I love the fact that [Nolan] asked himself, “What do I want to do most right now? What am I willing to obsess about over the next few years?”
I think it’s a great idea to pause and ask yourself that question.
And hey, if there’s nothing you can imagine yourself getting obsessed with, that’s okay. You can still earn a good living without following your passion 👍
