I just bring up some points that I read from elsewhere.What is your favorite resource for learning to think 10 steps ahead?
What questions does a very forward thinker ask that less forward thinkers do not ask?
What questions does Elon Musk ask? How does he approach things differently from not Elon Musks?
I feel limited by the questions I ask. Like I stay 2 or 3 steps ahead at best. I want new ways to train my brain to think more forwardly. Not some quick-fix solution, but like daily questions or practices to build a new style of thinking into habit.
Any suggestions? Books, podcasts, or anything else are welcome.
I think you are referral to strategic plays rather than tactical plays.
Strategies are based on facts and research and micro-observations that you believe are correct. From all these facts and details you craft strategies that best suit to your goal and circumstances.
If the micros are wrong the macro will be screwed up too.
That’s why you can have two smart people who totally disagree on the strategy.
The most familiar strategy is the “lean start up approach to business”.
Assumptions
-Most ideas will fail
-most ideas fail because they are not market tested
-More companies and business go bust because they over-invest time and money in ideas they think can work but have no market feedback
Strategic adjustment
-develop low cost prototype to gather feedback
-Discard ideas with bad market feedback based on the mvp
-Double down investment when feedback is good.
In short avoid financial destruction before you hit your home run.
This is just one example on how to derive your own strategic insight.
A few years later after the birth of the idea of lean start up, Xiao Mi founder expanded on the strategy into a 2.0 version.
“Since start-up is a constant trial and error process, the only thing that matters is speed.
The faster you do things, fail things and restart, the higher chance you are going to make it sooner.”
