Why do people just suck at learning new things?
They are not willing to fail, for a very, very, very, long time
I have been on a bit of a binge recently, just consuming creator and entrepreneur mindset content, (Thanks to Lex Fridman, Colin and Samir, Nilay Patel, Chris Do) — and the one thing that everyone clearly understands is:
You need to be humbled
You are going to fail at things when you start, you need to get comfortable with it
Years ago, I had no software background
Now I manage teams working on projects worth way more than I would have ever imagined
Years later,
- I fail at writing
- I fail at getting my ideas out there
- I fail at being my own boss
And
- I fail at being the best Product Manager out there
But as Giannis puts it, failures are just steps toward success.
Keep on failing!
