I think beyond the time frame you pick, safety nets also Influence the games you play. If you want to make partner earlier than Ola and you're from a resource limited background, you can't afford to fail. This means you can't play highly radical games where the downside of failing might wipe out the upside of winning. I think this caveat might be useful.
Additionally, I also think that the difference between having a short time frame and being desperate is respecting the base rate [what's the shortest time people have ideally achieved this goal]. Understanding this ensures you set a realistic timeline for yourself.
Well done on pushing out these newsletters unfailingly every Sunday. I plan to read all of them until the day I finally return to my farm, pets, and large bookshelves.
It's very easy to discuss theories and ideas, but the actual execution is difficult for the constraints you mentioned. Usually, it's the people with a socio-economic safety net that can afford to play these high-risk high-reward games.
Base rate thinking is 💯💯. I am personally ever wary of desperation because if you remember, 'a desperate man has no philosophy'.
Thank you so much for consistently reading, egbon. I really do appreciate it. And hopefully, your farm someday gives me the motivation to move to mine!
This is apt!...but I think it's dependent on each individual, how far do you dare to dream and how much can you do to achieve it...learnt something similar to this from a movie about Monarchy
As much as I agree with being radical, the first law of power (never outshine the master) makes me think I need to be calming down before I end up being kicked out because I was moving too fast.
This is really intriguing. Last night, I was just having a word with my younger brother who just got a Graduate Trainee offer in an FMCG, about his growth and achievement there- how he needs to be delibrqte about it and not be in competition with anyone but himself..... He referred me to this article this evening 🙂.... @brother, I hope this further emphasises all we discussed. And we need to be practical about it. Thank you James... I've subscribed already... I'll read your other pieces and happily anticipate a weekly dose.
Haha this KPMG optimization, giving us small from your MIM knowledge abi? Nice one, boss.
"The way you think about achievement becomes astonishingly different when you make large changes to the time scale you have in mind." - is very similar to what they say about each person having an individual race to run, and you've shown here that even though the goals may be similar, the tracks could still be different.
Thank you for this, I hope you have a great week too brother.

This is gooood. Was thinking of something similar sometime but I couldn’t really put it together. Your newsletter really did justice, I might as well frame the words 😌
Always excited to see your newsletter in my email 👌🏾. I see this letter as an encouragement to set big goals, and push myself out of my comfort zone to achieve them.

You should read them even after then, I'm sure you'd still find gems in them.
Honestly, I can't agree more.

Yes exactly! We are ultimately different people and need to accept that we aim for different things. Thanks Rukky!

This is so true!
Radical thinking and actions are needed when we want to challenge the rules of the game
Absolutely. Thanks Divine!
Loved this. Really insightful.
Thanks Nurudeen!

Always excited to see your comments Toibat. Barakallahu feek, have a great week!
This is very helpful and insightful. I think we become more radical when we have more crazy goals and timeline. Big ups egbon
Uncle MJ, thank you so much!
Time scale..🤔 Been doing some thinking lately, this is helpful. Thanks always Boss
