How to Win At Everything


There’s a flip side to everything.  Almost anything is at least partly true. You can’t trust anyone all of the time. Everyone fails. Nobody is always on your side.

So how do you win at everything?

Remember the old saying, “The more you know, the less you know,”  well it’s at least partly true.

The more you learn about anything, the older and more experienced you get, the more you realize there’s more than one side to any argument.

  • Love is good, up to a point …  then it’s destructive obsession.
  • Faith is good … unless it’s misplaced.
  • Hope is good … unless you need to realize you have better options.

You may be thinking moderation is the best answer.

Only up to a point.

To lead, you need to stand for something.  If not you lead to nowhere.

This is true, but confusing and not helpful!

So how do you win at everything!

If you are worried about your position in the hierarchy of success, or worse valuing your life in comparison to what someone else has achieved then you are on the wrong path.

If you must judge your life — and I recommend you leave that up to the divine, because most of us really have no clue — judge it based on the small actions you take that encourage someone else. The more you do that, the more successful you are.

If you want to win at everything, make sure that everything you do has some good in it.  Your life won’t be all good, but …

Good stuff piles up.

You win.

All the best,

About Ken McArthur

Ken McArthur is the founder of ConnectLab.live, an AI relationship-intelligence and warm-intro platform that helps founders who are raising find the funds that fit and the people who can introduce them, and helps fund managers connect with the founders they back. He was recently accepted into Harvard Business School Foundry. He also writes Raise Smarter, a daily newsletter on what's really moving in early-stage fundraising. Ken challenges us to realize we ALL have an impact, whether we want to or not, on thousands of people we touch in our day-to-day lives, and he shows that simple things make a HUGE difference. ConnectLab.live grew out of that belief. Connection is the currency of the 21st Century, and the right introduction can change a company's future. Long before ConnectLab, Ken was the popular host of live events that brought together top-level marketers, entrepreneurs, business owners, corporations and non-profit organizations to build multi-million dollar joint venture relationships. He has managed product launches ranked in the top 400 sites on the Internet and is regularly asked to speak at leading marketing events. He created AffiliateShowcase.com, a pioneering affiliate program search engine and directory. He also founded the MBS Internet Research Center, which conducted the world's largest survey ever attempted on creating and launching successful information products. Ken was the official mentor for Sterling Valentine as he took his launch from zero to over $100,000 in less than 8 days, a proof of concept documented in Info Product Blueprint. Today he puts that same skill for connecting people and launching ideas to work for founders and the investors who back them.
