my dad was a fucking rocket engineer who taught me something that made me RICH
wasn't some soft ass "believe in yourself" bs
it was QUICK MATH (keep reading it's saucy)
this man ran calculations for missile trajectories in the military. could tell you impact coordinates in his head while other guys needed computers. but he'd say "close enough is better than perfect too late"
"347 divided by 45? about 7. move the fuck on."
he'd make me calculate brutal equations instantly. not perfectly. INSTANTLY. because in real situations perfect math gets you killed while you're calculating
meanwhile you common folk are sitting with your calculator app making sure you got the EXACT answer while opportunities are flying past at 1000mph
this is why you're easy to kill in business...
you're trying to be PRECISE when you need to be FAST
business decision? you want 22 spreadsheets and three consultants' opinions. your competitor already launched, failed, pivoted, and is banking while you're on slide 73 of your market analysis like some soft as baby shit analyst
pricing your service? you're researching statistics for weeks. just pick a fucking number that scares you and TEST IT. wrong? change it tomorrow. you lost one day not six months.
"but what if i'm wrong?"
YOU WILL BE WRONG YOU FUCKING MORON
difference is i'm wrong in 5 seconds and correct in 10. you're still thinking about maybe being wrong next year while i'm already counting money
my first agency? picked price out of thin air. $5k/month felt insane. someone paid instantly. raised to $10k next day. then $20k. found the ceiling in 3 weeks.
you would've surveyed 100 people and ended up at $2k because that's what the statistics said was "reasonable"
quick math beats perfect math EVERY FUCKING TIME
hiring? meet them, trust your gut, done. "but what about background checks..." shut up. you know in 10 minutes if someone's solid or soft as baby shit. everything else is corporate theater.
launching products? ship at 70% and fix it live. "but what if..." what if you die waiting for perfect? at least i'm getting paid while fixing bugs instead of perfecting something nobody wants.
here's what overthinking really is: FEAR dressed up as intelligence
you're not being thorough. you're being a PUSSY, you want spreadsheets to blame when shit fails instead of owning your decisions like someone who isn't easy to kill
fuck your process.
347 divided by 45? about 7
should i hire this broad? she seems hungry? hired.
should i fire this client? they annoy me? gone.
should i raise prices? feeling poor? doubled.
CLOSE ENOUGH IS GOOD ENOUGH
perfect is for common folk who die with perfect plans. done is for killers who die with results.
i watch people spend 6 months on business plans that are worthless the second reality hits. my business plan was "make money." took 2 seconds. still works.
you know what matters? VELOCITY not accuracy.
100 decisions at 70% accuracy beats 10 decisions at 95% accuracy. because those 100 decisions taught you what actually works while your statistics are still theoretical
my competitors still calculating unit economics while i've tested 20 offers and found the one that prints. they have better spreadsheets. i have better everything else.
quick math principle applies to everything:
relationships? you know in 10 seconds if a broad is worth your time. stop needing 6 months of data to "be sure"
investments? thesis makes sense and founder isn't soft? send it. your due diligence is just procrastination with a fancy name
opportunities? someone offers you something that could work? say yes figure it out later. "but the statistics say..." statistics are for people easy to kill
here's the truth: your best educated guess RIGHT NOW beats your perfect answer NEVER
because while you're calculating, killers are DOING. while you're analyzing statistics, they're creating them. while you're planning, they're already celebrating.
347 divided by 45?
about 7.
good enough.
NEXT.
that's the yegor method. quick math. violent execution. adjust on the fly.
everything else is mental masturbation that common folk use to feel smart while staying broke
my dad could calculate missile impacts in his head but knew "close enough" beats "perfect too late"
a "close enough" nuke skill decimates a city. a nuke that never launches does ZERO
now make that fucking decision you've been sitting on. your gut already knows. stop pretending you need more data.
study the yegor method.
At the start of every year, I invite people to sit in the classes that I teach at NYU Stern, at least virtually. As the spring 2025 semester approaches, I am having an open house for all of my classes. Drop by, if you have the time. https://t.co/FW8GZ5eeOL
I do all my classroom teaching in the spring, but if you are interested in taking my classes, and have the time, I have free online versions of my core classes (corporate finance, valuation, investment philosophies) as well as lead in skillsets. https://t.co/ECWCLPR8ml

First video of my IFRS tax accounting course.
7mins, 50 secs.
Unedited. Recorded on iPhone.
Happy to take feedback, as I go on.
I’ll try to release a video every week but I’m not promising😌
I dare say mine is the first IFRS tax accounting course that’s available on the internet for free.
If you want to support this ‘ministry’ by designing slides and editing recordings, please enter my DM, but don’t slide 😎
@sobur_bello Well you may be right. But we might still be able to keep the holidays if we run the economy 24hrs (continental). When the formal & informal close by 6-7pm. Manuf, building & maint of infra etc can continue running overnight. We need security & power.
So the "Internet" is down. Due to cable damage
But Google seems to be going, and Starlink users are completely unaffected.
Why?
I would explain, but first, you need to understand how the Internet works.
As a professor, I work very hard to make my #DataScience educational content accessible and actionable!
Here’s my #MachineLearning course, all the lectures, with linked #Python well-documented demonstration workflows and interactive dashboards!
My goal is to ease your learning journey as we build powerful skills together @ https://t.co/Ky9L5jrS3w ∀!
