The Onion Theory of Risk by Marc Andreessen: "I think the single biggest thing entrepreneurs are missing, both on fundraising and how they run their companies, is the relationship between risk and cash. The relationship between risk and raising cash, and then the relationship between risk and spending cash. So I've always been a fan of something that Andy Ratcliffe taught me years ago, which he called the onion theory of risk. Um, which basically is, you can think about a startup like on day one, um, as having every conceivable kind of risk, right? And you can basically just make a list of the risks. And so you've got, you know, founding team risk. You know, do the founders, are the founders gonna be able to work together? Do you have the right founders? You're gonna have product risk. You know, can you build a product? You'll have technical risk, right? Which is maybe you need a machine learning breakthrough or something to make it work. Are you gonna be able to do that? Um, you'll have, you know, launch risk. Will the launch go well? You'll have, you know, market acceptance risk. You'll have revenue risk. A big risk you get into in a lot of businesses that have a sales force is, can you actually sell the product for enough money to actually pay for the cost of sale? So you have the cost of sale risk. If you're a consumer product, you'll have a viral growth risk. Well, you get the thing of viral growth. And so, a startup at the very beginning is basically just this long list of risks. And then the way that I always think about running a startup is also the way I think about raising money, which is it's a process of peeling away layers of risk as you go. And so you raise seed money in order to peel away the first two or three risks. The founding team risk, the product risk, and maybe the initial launch risk. You raise the A round to peel away the next level of product risk. Maybe you peel away some recruiting risk because you get your full engineering team built. Maybe you peel away some customer risk because you get your first five beta customers. And so basically the way to think about it is you're peeling away risk as you go. You're peeling away risk by achieving milestones. And then as you achieve milestones, you're both making progress in your business, and you're justifying raising more capital. And so you come in, and you pitch somebody like us, and you say you're raising a B round. The best way to do that with us is you say, okay, I raised a seed round, I achieved these milestones, I eliminated these risks. I raised the A round, I achieved these milestones, and I eliminated these risks. Now I'm gonna raise a B round. Here are my milestones, here are my risks. And then by the time I go to raise a seed round, here's the state that I'll be in. And then you calibrate the amount of money that you raise to spend to the risks that you're pulling out of the business. And I go through all this, in a sense this sounds kind of obvious, but I go through all this because it's a systematic way to think about how the money gets raised and deployed. As compared to so much of what's happening, especially these days, which is just, my God, let me go raise as much money as I can. Let me go build the fancy offices, let me go hire as many people as I can, and just kind of hope for the best."

David Goggins says most people get lost in life because they fail to master the mental game: "Nothing in the world can do it like pushing yourself to the absolute limit. This is going beyond your talent. When there's no more talent. What happens to you? Most people quit. People only go to their talent level. And once their talent is gone, it becomes a mental game." "Most people can only perform to their talent level. And they ask themselves 'Man, why am I messing up right here?', 'Why is this, like, my big hurdle?'... It's because you're performing to your talent. And after that your mind has nothing for you." "I see fighters, I see runners, I see people who are great. But they get to the edge of their talent, and they're like, what's up? Because you're at the point now, where your talent can't help you. And now it's the mental game." "That's where people get lost in life. Lost in that next level. It's a talent problem." "And that is exactly what goes on in the human mind when you have a talent problem. So how are you going to defeat that bro? You're sitting there getting beat down by a guy. Just on you. Throwing you down. Take down. Take down. Hit in the face. And all that's going through you mind is there's no positivity in that." "But when you train the mind the way I train mine. You're ready man. You're ready." "First of all I didn't have much talent. So I had to train one thing. You better train your mind. Because my talent is going to run out way early." "When stuff got hard for me back in the day bro, I'm done, I'm out, See Ya! OK. I've got to invent an alter ego that can. So I invented 'Goggins'." "I invented someone who realized we're not good enough, but 'Goggins' realized we're mentally strong, and we're going to out strength the competition in the mind."

yeonjun's 2024 fortune ⭐️ "because of your unbreakable spirit that isn't easily swayed by anything, it'll be a year where you'll show strong mental strength that won't easy disrupt your self-balance. you won't change your mind about the direction of something once you've set your mind to do it. because of your personality that makes you do things consistently, you might hear from people that you're right minded and a man of integrity. since you are someone who is generally level headed and have the ability to understand things realistically, you'll be able to make good judgements and decisions. you don't really get tired of the same repetitive reality but even if you do feel tired or bored from it, you don't easily decide to move to your own place. this year, you will be able to secure a stronger position in your activities and on stage and you will have the opportunity to try out things that you had only imagined of. given this, you can carry out your plans to achieve all your grand goals. feeling the good luck that you haven't felt before, there might be a period where you feel a little lazy but once you humbly get through this period, you will be able fo take it as an opportunity. your diligence will stand out and you will get unexpected recognition from the people around you, making it possible for you to get the opportunity to focus on what you want. we hope that during this time, you'll be more meticulous and detailed than before while making yourself more competitive than other people. unlike previous years, it is a year with really great energy, where you'll be able to get things that others didn't think of and be able to use it first to your advantage to get opportunities."

Jordan Peterson: "If you can't fix your room, you can't fix your life" "Why should you even bother improving yourself? The answer is something like: so you don't suffer anymore stupidly than you have to. And maybe so others don't have to either. It's not some casual self-help doctrine. If you don't organize yourself properly, you'll pay for it. In a big way. And so will the people around you." Peterson continues: "You can say, 'Well, I don't care about that.' But that's actually not true, you do care about it. Because if you're in pain, you will care about it. It's very rare that you can find someone in excruciating pain who would say, 'Well, it would be no better if I was out of this.' Pain brings the idea that it would be better if it didn't exist along with it. It's incontrovertible." On how to start: "Look around for something that bothers you and see if you can fix it. You can do this in a room. Sit in your bedroom and think: 'If I wanted to spend ten minutes making this room better, what would I have to do?' You have to ask yourself that, it's a genuine question. And things will pop out. There's a stack of papers bugging you. Some rubbish behind your computer monitor you haven't attended to for six months. Cables tangled up." He explains why this matters: "If you were coming to see me for psychotherapy, the easiest thing would be to get you to organize your room. You think, is that psychotherapy? It depends on how you conceive the limits of your being. Start where you can start. If something announces itself as in need of repair that you could repair, fix it. Fix a hundred things like that, your life will be a lot different." On fixing what you repeat every day: "People tend to think of their daily routines as trivial. You get up, brush your teeth, have breakfast. Those probably constitute 50% of your life. People think, they're mundane, I don't need to pay attention to them. No, that's exactly wrong. The things you do every day are the most important things you do. Hands down. Just do the arithmetic." On staying within your competence: "Sometimes you don't know how to fix something. Imagine you're walking down the street and there's a guy who's alcoholic and schizophrenic and has been homeless for ten years. That's a problem. It would be good if you could fix it, but you haven't got a clue. You walk around that and go find something you could fix. Just because something announces itself as in need of repair doesn't mean it's you, right then and there, who should repair it. You have to have some humility. You don't walk up to a helicopter that isn't working and just start tinkering away." Peterson shares the key insight: "As soon as you give your mind a genuine aim, it'll reconfigure the world in keeping with that aim. That's actually how you see to begin with. You've all seen the video where you watch basketballs being tossed back and forth, and while you're doing that, a gorilla walks into the middle of the video and you don't see it. If you thought about that experiment for five years, that would be about the right amount of time to spend thinking about it." He explains what it reveals: "What it shows you is that you see what you aim at. If you can get one thing through your head, that would be a good one. You see what you aim at. One inference you might draw from that is: be careful what you aim at. What you aim at determines the way the world manifests itself to you. So if the world is manifesting itself in a very negative way, one thing to ask is: are you aiming at the right thing?"
