I don't have a business background, but I grew up always creating things. At 10 I was programming and designing my own web sites. I think creating things teaches you to not be event-minded. Most people think they're too much of a dumbass to do an awesome thing. In truth you never stop feeling like a dumbass, it's just that you have to be the dumbass that keeps on ticking. In my experience it's massive sustained action leads to accomplishing things that most people can't even imagine themselves doing. It's not that you ever become less of a dumbass. You just keep hacking. You adapt and keep hacking.

So a year ago I didn't know squat about business, but I know going into anything that being process-minded--and knowing how to eat all the shit that comes with it--gives me a leg up on all the fakers and pretenders.

I can't think of anything I've tried yet in life that isn't a matter of eating shit and learning from failure. Two words: hack, adapt. Some people just do one or the other, but you need both.

I like to think of a basketball coach that judges a player's shot not based on make/miss but on execution. If it was an open shot and the form was good and not outside of the player's range - fine, make or miss. Or in the case of a crazy-a$$ double-pump three-pointer that goes in despite the defender being draped all over the shooter, I like to imagine the coach going nuts and the player thinking Hey, I made it. He's thinking event and the coach is seeing horrible execution and just raging, just completely flipping out. I don't play basketball so I don't know that coaches think like that. It's simply how I visualize it.
