Just do it

A few notes and thoughts. In goals, we spoke about approach vs. avoid. We want to be on offence, looking at upside not focusing on downside and loss minimization. Skip conservative – be optimistic, even delusional. The best entrepreneurs just believe they can make it happen – even though conventional logic would peg the risk as being off the charts. Why are there so many “unicorns”? Professional investors dismiss founders who give “conservative” financial projections, and they end us also usually making less. Shoot for the moon as you just might hit it. You get what you ask from life, no more and no less. Life nots going to come to you. Motion begets motion, and inertia — it’s sometimes harder to go from 0 to 1 then to go from 2 to 10.

Someone has got to drive. There are plenty of times we can be passengers. I’ve thought about this often, being a passenger with a mediocre driver is better than two people trying to drive which simply causes a crash. We can’t drive all the time, as we have to sleep, rest, do other things; that said there are plenty of time you need to take the wheel, and when you do fully take it.
