Hear me out!
Do you have a plan B?
A safety net to fall back on if everything fails?
A billionaire once told me:
“Yiannis, plan Bs are for 2 kinds of people only. Those who lack confidence in themselves and those who are too smart for their own good. Most of their type never get rich”
I spent weeks thinking about his words…
If you lack confidence, you’ll break the moment it get’s difficult.
If you’re too smart for your own good, you’re probably also a risk averse.
People who quit and people who don’t take risks never get rich.
That’s why I don’t have a plan B.
It may not be the smartest strategy, but when your back is against the wall you gain a different kind of advantage.
It’s all or nothing.
It’s fight till the death.
You give your 100% and sometimes, what makes you win is that last 2% - 3% you have in the tank.
The midnight oil.
People with plan Bs they never give their 100%.
Why would they?
They can always go back, try something else, start over.
How can you be accountable to the highest level when there’s a back-door?
It’s impossible.
That’s why I don’t believe in a second plan.
That’s why I din’t go to University.
Fuck that!
We live on the edge.
