We often hear, “What you don’t know won’t hurt you,” but in the world of success, ignorance is dangerous. It’s not just about what you know—it’s about what you don’t know.
Many of us live in a state of unconscious incompetence, meaning we don’t know what we don’t know. And because we’re unaware of our gaps in knowledge, we don’t even know to seek solutions. This is a dangerous place to be.
The “Squares” exercise is a perfect example: you’re asked to draw something simple without realizing you’re missing a crucial technique. This mental blind spot prevents you from executing the task effectively, even if you think you have the skills.
In the real world, ignorance is often a silent killer of progress. People fail not because they don’t have the potential, but because they don’t recognize the gaps in their knowledge, and therefore, they don’t seek out the solutions.
In this episode, we explore:
• 🔍 How mental blind spots prevent you from making progress.
• 📚 The importance of self-awareness and continuous learning.
• 🧠 How being unaware of what you don’t know can limit your potential.
Success isn’t just about what you know; it’s about knowing what you don’t know and actively seeking to fill those gaps.
