Why ignorance is bliss (sometimes)

Writer James Clear gabbed my attention when he said:

“Be selectively ignorant.

  • Ignore topics that drain your attention.
  • Unfollow people that drain your energy.
  • Abandon projects that drain your time.
  • Do not keep up with it all.
  • The more selectively ignorant you become, the more broadly knowledgeable you can be.”

And in your expert coaching, consulting or therapy business, this means a ruthless devotion to relevant activities:

  • Only connecting with your ideal clients on social media
  • Disconnecting from pretty much everyone else
  • Learning from people who are already where you want to be
  • Discounting the opinions of ignorant, unqualified people
  • Dismissing anything which moves you no closer to your goals

Yep, selective ignorance is a success trait, for sure.
