You don't need to know how, right, before you start.

You don't need to, you know, know the entire path or have it laid out before you.

Same industry, a couple decades later, take Elon Musk and SpaceX.

To me, it's even more remarkable.

Musk wasn't a rocket scientist when he decided to build rockets.

He literally taught himself aerospace engineering in textbooks.

First three launches failed.

Of course, everyone told him to quit.

Critics said it was impossible.

But he'd already said yes, he'd committed.

And because of that yes, he kept adjusting, kept learning, kept adapting until the fourth launch worked.

And by the way, saved the company.

That's the Branson quote, inaction.

You say yes and you figure it out.

And lately, in my own little world, I've been seeing this principle play out.

I'm going to go back to athletics.

Again, I go to this drawing board a lot just because there are a lot of metaphors you can make, a lot of parallels you can make.

To me, none are as clear, concise, and really depict that one-to-one ratio the same way that fitness does, running does, lifting does.

That struggle to me is life.

So I pull from it often.
