1: Structured thinking
Our mind is buzzing with thoughts.
But when we start speaking, we fail to structure them.
What is needed, is a way to pace our thoughts.
That is where writing helps.

Write everyday for 90-days.
And always conclude with a "This tells me that ________"

Lie 1:
Everyone should have the same pace of learning.
When you make students sit in a class, with a curriculum that has to get over in a year, before everyone is promoted to the next year, you tell everyone "learn at the same pace".

The truth is - everyone learns at a different pace.
That doesn't make them poor or better learners.
It simply makes them different learners.
Most wealthy people I know, became so because of having a fulfilling steady job.
We don't talk about them because we salivate on the startup billionaires, of which there are only so many.

Lie 2:

A startup isn't for everyone.
I have met the most ambitious, committed, driven professionals who derive joy from their jobs. They would make terrible entrepreneurs.
