There is a concept in sailing that I am beginning to think other than intellect, which unfortunately matters, I'm beginning to think is like the thing is called velocity made good VMG. And the whole idea is that you can have a lot of wind, but if your sails aren't angled in the right direction, you could be moving fast, but not going in the direction that you want to go.

You could be not moving at all because your sails just aren't able to capture it. Um, or you could actually be moving fast in the direction that you want to go. And yeah, That to me, like pulling that apart as to what are the things that people don't understand? What are like if we were going to make angling the sales, not a metaphor, but like a reality?

What is it like as somebody who's now scaled a business tremendously? What is it in all of those things that allows you to capture the potency of your intellect to understand that making, just making content doesn't do it. The content has to be aimed in a direction. It has to have a goal in mind. How would you teach entrepreneurs how to quote unquote angle the sales?

All right, so if 90% of businesses fail outright, 96% fail to break a million and only 4% go over that. What is it that those have in common? The ones that make it, do they share something in common? And if so, what?

Do you force yourself to predict the outcome of initiative before you do it?

Very interesting. So I'm thinking a slightly different angle. So here's what I always tell entrepreneurs to do. So you describe a very similar thing to the way that I try to go about scaling, which I call the physics of progress. So to me, progress has a nature. There's just a way that it works. So you try a

thing and it either works or it doesn't but to know if it worked you had to say this is where i'm trying to end up yeah this is what i think is my obstacle this is the thing i think i need to do to overcome my obstacle now i'm going to do that yeah but what i find is entrepreneurs will lie to themselves when they get the result they'll be like yeah that's roughly what i expected now the problem is that that will break their ability to do things as a thought exercise and so now they have to actually test everything not realizing they don't know how to predict the outcome

So what I tell them to do is look, and this is what I do myself. Uh, I'm going to do this thing, whether it's, um, build a piece of content and put it out, whatever. Uh, and I think this is going to get a million views, 1.5, whatever. So when it does 75,000 views, I'm like, Whoa, there is something I did not understand.
