PRE-ORDER BOOK: Think Like A Watchmaker
With the prices of watches on the rapid increase, it's very tough to justify the cost of them nowadays. Mind you, this is coming from a watchmaker entrenched in the industry.
Most luxury goods are never a necessity. Watches just happened to be one of those things you legitimately needed back in the day. To know... tell time. Time-telling was one of those things that ultimately changed the way the world operated. It enabled us to travel, meet, and ultimately get in sync with everyone else around us. So how did we go from viewing a watch as a necessity to luxurious and obnoxious now? Listen in.

OVERVIEW:
Before I stepped away a year ago (February 2021), I was out to prove for my next upcoming book that the PRINCIPLES of watchmaking extends far beyond creating and repairing watches. I was out to prove that it could be applicable to everything we do in life.
I was trying to prove that these principles could be used in everyday life to simplify, breakdown, and learn anything.
It was a rather bold claim when I first put it out. As it should be. I essentially came out and said that I found a blueprint to excel in anything.
I wasn’t born talented or with special genetics. I sucked in school initially since I didn’t consciously know about the watchmaking principles until later on in life. I sucked in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu prior because I was disorganized without a clear set of thinking. I never ran more than a mile in my life let alone a marathon prior to 2021 because I had no idea how to break things down and work towards a simplified step-by-step process.
I did however progress through all of that using the principles of watchmaking that I have now organized. Would I call all of this a success? I think I will.
Some of you will have some negative things to say. I’m sure of it. To make it clear, I don’t think it’s not a matter of grit or pig headed determination. I felt positive and in control that each step I took was calculated because of how I went about simplifying and breaking everything down to key components.
