Podcast Notes Key Takeaways

• Systems > Goals – here’s why:
  • Committing to completing a specific goal often blinds you to other opportunities
  • With a goal, you feel as if you’re in a continuous state of failure until you achieve it
• Put yourself in situations where luck finds you
• “The best way to learn how to do something is to do it wrong”– Scott Adams
  • “If you do something wrong in front of other people and they know how you shouldn’t have done it, they’re going to tell you, and they won’t charge you for it. You can get all the free advice you want by doing bad work in public.”
• “If you’re creating art of any kind… if it doesn’t move somebody’s body, you’re not done yet”– Scott Adams
• Don’t force your creations
  • “I don’t try to create anything that I have to push. If I feel myself pushing or forcing it, I know it’s not going to work.” – Scott Adams
• Create things that you’re pulled too 
  • “If you can find an idea that pulls you, then all of the energy you’d normally have to muster on your own to put into it is unnecessary. The project actually gives you energy. It’s feeding you at the same time you’re building it.” – Scott Adams
• Turn your ego (which is usually your enemy) into a tool by dialing it up when confidence is needed, and dialing it down when it serves as a distraction
• Become aware of your blind spots by exposing yourself to concepts from a variety of different fields (psychology, history, economics, etc.)
