Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. What is The Intermediate Effect

The intermediate effect illustrates how progress in something new initially builds momentum but can then feel halted or regressed, often leading to frustration and potential quitting.

2. Why Does This Happen

In the beginning, you’re open to learning but often take a focused approach on one thing as you can’t learn everything at once. As you dive deeper, there’s a tendency to preach what you know rather than embracing the broader scope of knowledge, which can lead to a limited frame of reference.

3. How to Make a Change

Embrace the shift in perspective as you move to a higher level. Focus on becoming an expert in a specific area within your wheelhouse but remain open-minded to learning from others and actively seek opportunities to learn from experts.
