Reflecting on the lesson here made me think of book publishing, especially novels: you have to write an ENTIRE novel (which takes me two years) before you can TRY to sell it. It’s a huge bet. The payoff might be very great! Or there could be no payoff. Luck and timing play a role in selling a novel but there’s also skill in writing well, and choosing which novel idea to follow all the way through.
3 point's!! This is a great article
Fun to read and reminds me to slow down and evaluate the facts. Also reign in the fear and anxiety!
Thank you!

That's a great point, Leigh! It'a wild to start thinking of big and small decisions as bets. Thank you!
