I organized and distilled his educational threads into a summary of big ideas
What he’s taught us about how to think, errors to avoid, and personal growth:
In a world of copycat solutions, rejecting base level assumptions is key to achieving non-linear outcomes.
Rejecting assumptions leads to first principles thinking. First principles thinking leads to creative solutions. And creative solutions lead to non-linear outcomes.
Together, making assumptions and reasoning by analogy lead to unimaginative, linear solutions that resemble all that’s been done before.
A distillation of what @stephsmithio said about creating, taking feedback, and marketing yourself in the 10x Creator Course:
Creating is like a cross-country bike ride: a long, ambitious journey.
Long journeys are physically demanding, but the hardest part isn’t the work itself. It’s managing your own psychology.
It’s showing up every day and continuing to ride.
Many creators focus on pedaling ten percent faster or finding shortcuts instead of eliminating things they don’t need and investing in things that make the ride easier.
The one thing that ultimately determines your success is ensuring you show up every day and ride.

How to commit to a direction and be open to changing it:
There's no cap on the quality of your course, product, or business
But when you’re building, three questions never go away:
🔷What should I fix?
🔷What should I improve?
🔷What should I build next?
🔷If you wait too long to get information, it's too late
🔷If you stay too flexible, you won’t get anywhere
🔷If you ignore too much, you might go the wrong way
