- make new mistakes today, repeating old ones is not productive
- good iteration is like walking through mud. Each step takes you forward using what learned with the previous steps, while leaving what doesn’t work behind (like your boots and socks)
- the shittiest product that people want, will out sell the perfect product that no one has a use for.
- you don’t need to be a crazy person to believe your own reality. Best check in with other opinions as often as possible.
- there’s more than one way to fly first class. Some flight attendants do it every day. If it’s the lifestyle you want, maybe a job will do the job?
- Never believe a fact you haven’t researched yourself
- McDonalds Castle Hill drive- thru has an 85% order failure rate for me, yet I still use it.
- in astronomy sometimes you need to look out the corner of your eye at things to see it better. In business life use other people for that perspective.
- somebody has to win the lottery, not buying a ticket ensures it isn’t you. The act of starting buys you that ticket. Not following through with constant effort is putting the ticket through the wash. Could have been a winner…

Planned and executed my exit from the corporate world. Walked away with a 6 figure payment to boot.

I love the reference to McDonalds! It must be a corporate technique because the failure rate is the same at my local McDonalds!
I love your list. I really liked the perspective one.
I’m wondering if you turn around and go back to McDonalds to have them fix it or just let it go. I always seem to be in too much hurry to drive back .
Like most people i guess i just swear and drive off
