Hormozi notes that some lessons can only be learned by living them. Consistency and patience are invisible to anyone who hasn't followed a story from the beginning. You can't perceive consistency from a time-lapse. You can't observe patience — you only see the win. One of his employees told him that seeing Hormozi at the office at 4am every day when he doesn't need to be there communicated something the content never could. The inverse insight, borrowed from Steve Wynn, is that the best outcome for a casino is if a first-time gambler wins big — because the reinforcement creates a behaviour loop. Hormozi's hope for himself and others: one early, large reward for delayed gratification so they understand how big the jackpot can get when you wait.
