Read This Before You Make Another Decision

It’s just the truth – you don’t know the alternative and you never will.

01. THERE’S NO PERFECT DECISION. THERE’S JUST LIFE.

There’s no time machine, there’s no future machine, there’s just no way to really know whether you made the right move or not. Whichever decision you make, you won’t know how the other one would’ve played out. Let me give you an example…

Let’s say you start your business (instead of doing something else like staying at your job), and it becomes huge and you turn out to be right in your hypothesis. And let’s say that led to a big meeting in a different country and you had to fly there – and in the process, your plane crashed and you died.

That would’ve turned out to be a bad idea.

There’s no way of truly knowing. If you follow my content, you know that I famously passed on investing in Uber in the angel round twice, which means currently, I missed out on $600 million. You could think that’s a mistake, but maybe if I did invest in Uber I’d be somewhere else right now picking up a disease that would end up killing me a year later!
