You&#8217;re working hard for yourself.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For passionate, ambitious people this challenge can be highly motivating, even if it&#8217;s stressful. And of course for the other type of people, well, you don&#8217;t want them in your company anyway.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, a good test for prospective employees is giving them a project, with an ambitious deadline, and see what happens. You want the guy or girl that will work their ass off getting it done <em>well<\/em>, not the one that takes shortcuts to get it done just on time.<\/p>\n<p>Another great tech leader, Steve Jobs, used a similar method. Jobs was infamous for his &#8220;reality distortion field.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jobs frequently set impossible deadlines that sent his team\u00a0scrambling. Remarkably though, according to Isaacson&#8217;s book &#8220;Steve Jobs,&#8221; it often worked.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In his presence, reality is malleable. He can convince anyone of practically anything,&#8221; Bud Tribble, a software designer on Apple&#8217;s Macintosh team in the early 1980s, says in the book. But it was this mindset that led Jobs &#8220;to actually be able to change reality.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Even\u00a0Steve Wozniak found the technique to be highly effective and inspiring.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It enabled Jobs to inspire his team to change the course of computer history with a fraction of the resources of Xerox or IBM. &#8216;It was a self-fulfilling distortion,&#8217; [Coleman] claimed. &#8216;You did the impossible, because you didn&#8217;t realize it was impossible.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Frequently, even for myself, I set unrealistic deadlines and astronomically high expectations. I&#8217;ll be the first to admit, these deadlines and expectations are rarely met.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not what matters.<\/p>\n<p>What matters is just the act of setting these deadlines and expectations forces a shift in momentum, it forces a shift in your own perspective.<\/p>\n<p>As long as you believe it&#8217;s possible, you&#8217;ll work your fucking ass off trying to achieve the previously improbable.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, it&#8217;s all about how far the needle can be moved. And this strategy always pushes the needle that much further.<\/p>\n<p>Urgency has always been my best motivator for changing things.\u00a0It helps waking up each day and being <a href=\"https:\/\/clickup.com\/blog\/\">grateful<\/a> to be alive. Consider the possibility that tomorrow is your last.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve lived in this mindset most of my life, as I&#8217;m sure Jobs and Musk did. If you&#8217;re simply <em>trying<\/em> to instill this strategy, you will fail. You truly have to believe\u00a0and breathe it.<\/p>\n<p><em>When you get to the end of life,<\/em> <strong>will\u00a0you be more grateful for the easygoing boss in a laid-back environment you breezed through?
