Deep dives
Becoming Smart Enough to Start a Business
To overcome the belief of not being smart enough to start a business, it is important to differentiate between identity and experience. Learning is a process, not an identity. The process of learning involves becoming aware of what you don't know, understanding concepts, executing tasks, and eventually embodying knowledge as muscle memory. Instead of striving to be smart enough, approach your business like a scientist, testing causes and effects and focusing on what produces desirable outcomes. As you make progress, outsource your weaknesses and focus on your strengths.
