You have many shots at great
Forget about survivorship bias.
Forget about celebrating successful outliers at the expense of the vast majority of failures behind them.
Forget about all that.
It’s all based on the idea that you must shoot for the moon and succeed while others fail.
It’s based on the idea that you have one shot to do something insane.
‘Insane’ is focused on building a highly lucrative publicly traded company that everyone has heard about.
But the world doesn’t need you to be insane.
It needs you to choose a small group of people and make something ‘great’.
Something that makes their lives a little bit better because you were in it.
You have many, many shots at ‘great’.
And your people are waiting.
