Control Self
jakoblodwick:
My worst problems are caused by conflicts of schedule. There are too few hours each day to do everything I want to do.
My energy is finite. If I waste it on the things I want to do, I will be unable to channel it into the things I need to do. In my life, the realm of “want” is mostly one habit: browsing the web. The realm of “need” is inventing companies that change the world.

An Entrepreneur Can Come From Anywhere
jakoblodwick:
American entrepreneurs are among the most welcoming social groups in the world. Anyone can join their ranks.
You will be discriminated against on the basis of your ability and passion. Your race, religion, age, net worth and politics will be overlooked (unless they negatively affect your work).

“Associating with wonderful people is about as good as it gets.”

"Fallacy of the single cause"
jakoblodwick:
The fallacy of the single cause is a logical fallacy of causation that occurs when it is assumed that there is one, simple cause of an outcome when in reality it may have been caused by a number of only jointly sufficient causes. (Wikipedia)
Successful creative people deal with this all the time. An admirer asks a famous photographer, “What kind of camera do you use?”, as if a...
