Strategy is Vision
- Think of strategy like the picture on a Lego box, not the instructions.
- Focus on the overall vision, not just the step-by-step tactics.

- Viewing challenges as games helps us detach from personal failures.
- This allows us to adapt and make better moves next time.
Don't Be Plankton

- Instead, leverage AI to work for you and solve valuable problems.
