Success bias. We’ve all heard somebody insisting that it will work out for you if you just follow what they did.
That’s success bias. We hear from the guy who was successful because we’re willing to listen to somebody successful.
But what about the 10x guys who tried the same thing and failed? Nobody listens to them.
What would happen if we could take a success story and still critically look at it and take the bits that would work for us instead of trying to carbon-copy other people’s methods to ourselves?
