This quote about cats, mice and lions has been living rent free in my head for two weeks...
A smart person's biggest risk isn't failing, it's being successful at the wrong things.
There is a version of slow motion failure that feels like success; staying busy with stuff you can do with your eyes closed, achieving small goals, being so full of easy wins that you have no appetite left for bigger ones.
One thing I've noticed after hundreds of interviews is that the best founders are unusually good at saying no to mice. Easy revenue. Low hanging fruit. Tempting side quests.
They've figured out something that takes most people years to learn: the cost of an easy win is non-obvious.
One distraction won't change your trajectory. The problem is they arrive one at a time - each one too small to refuse, each one quick enough to give you a dopamine hit of progress.
A few hits is all it takes to develop a preference for them. And that preference will change your trajectory.
Most people don't miss the big prizes because they weren't capable - they miss them because they couldn't give up their addiction to small ones.
