Hello everyone welcome to my weekly audio journal.
Today I'd like to share a quote by Paul Graham, "People are bad at looking at seeds and guessing what size tree will grow out of them. The way you'll get big ideas in say healthcare is by starting out with small ideas. If you tried to do some big thing, you don't just need it to be big. You need it to be good and it's really hard to do big and good simultaneously. So what that means is you can either do something small and good and then gradually make it bigger. Or do something big and bad and gradually make it better. And you know what? Empirically starting big, just does not work. That's the way the government does things. They do something really big, that's really bad and they think, well, we'll make it better and then it never gets better."
With this I can talk from experience. Whenever I've started out big, I've always made some very expensive lessons. You just start small, build a community, develop something good. Then from there, you can decide to scale because even then you will run into challenges but at least you have a strong foundation, a community, the support to help you so that you can make it bigger and better.
I hope you all have a wonderful up coming week. Thank you all for listening.
