Brutally Honest Advice To Achieve Your Goals
In a Nutshell
To hit big goals like $106M in 72 hours, master sales scripting (right words via proven frameworks) and tonality (loud/slow/articulated constants + pauses/pitch variables), memorizing scripts through blackout repetition to focus on prospects. Start businesses by selling high-ticket one-on-one services ($10k+) to elite clients for cash flow, learning, and price anchoring before scaling cheap offers to masses—easier than middling prices. Success demands enduring fixed suffering via volume (reps, asks, trades), self-belief, environmental tweaks, and sticking to one path long-term, as potential = uncertainty tolerated × duration.

You're not making as much money as you want because you're not saying the right words or saying them the right way. Saying the right words comes down to the correct scripting. Saying them the right way comes down to tone. Over 14 years of selling, last eight weeks ago did a launch: $106 million in 72 hours. Broke the Guinness Book World Record for the fastest selling non-fiction of all time and became fourth of all books of all time only to Harry Potter 7, 6, and 5. JK Rowling still the goat.
Right now you're not making as much money as you want because you're saying things the wrong way. Example: "She didn't kick his dog" is different than "I didn't say she kicked his dog." Racier example said four different ways: "I didn't say he hit his wife." All four ways have very different meanings. If you have a script but people aren't buying, it's because the words aren't communicating the meaning you think they are. Tone is a huge difference in pitching in one-to-many or one-on-one.
Many tone teachings are amorphous: curiosity tone, aggressive tone, laid-back tone—what do they mean?
You must have a script. See closer framework videos: Clarify what they're there for. Label the problem. Overview past experience. Sell the vacation with a three-step pitch. Transition into explaining away concerns. Reinforce the decision.
To ensure correct tone, five things to modulate voice: three fixed (sales tone constants), two variable.
Three Sales Tone Constants for Comprehension
- Speak loud enough that they can hear you. Obvious, but if they can't hear, they can't understand or buy. Matters more in person than phone.
- Speak slowly enough to comprehend: under 185 words per minute, above 135—sweet spot. Talk too fast, trust goes down; too slow, sound like an idiot. Speaker talks at 185 wpm, so reverse-engineered book launch presentation to drop link at exact timestamp for consistency. Consistent speaking makes sales conversations predictable (not 1.5 hours vs. 10 minutes).
- Articulate every word: round out words, no mumbling, pronounce clearly.
Doing these three maximizes comprehension. Won't sound unnatural with consistent variability in speaking cadence.
Memorization Technique for Natural Delivery
If you sound like reading a script, you don't know it well enough—stop reading it. Scientifically backed fastest way to memorize: print two versions of script—one to read from, one to correct from.
Practice:
- Read entire script out loud, annunciating every word clearly.
- After finishing, black out one word with marker.
- Read again with missing word.
- Repeat: black out second word, read again.
By end, repeated script as many times as words in it. End up with blank page but saying the script from memory—you're breathing the script.
Important because in selling, don't think about what to say—focus on what prospect says. Sales is in your ears, not mouth. Person who speaks most loses. Want them talking to give info for defense. Requires knowing script cold.
Keep script as gold: paramount, no one above it. People fought and died to figure words that close. If everyone says different things, can't build basics—like skyscraper on sand. 95% of sales teams like this, not world class.
Two Variable Tone Elements
Three constants: loud enough, right speed, articulate. Variability happens naturally if not reading.
First variable: pauses.
- Pause to emphasize: length dictates attention or response.
- Short pause draws attention: "Thing number one that's very important... thing number two... thing number three..."
- Shows competence, helps attention.
Document in script:
- Single periods (.) for middle-sentence pauses.
- Dot dot dots (...) for shorter pauses.
- Full period for full stop.
Read script like normal text.
Second variable: voice frequency (pitch up or down).
- Voice up = question mark (?): solicits response. E.g., "John?" vs. "John."
- Combine long pause + raised voice to solicit response: ask to buy and shut up.
Script notation: period, dot dot dots, question mark. That's it.
Benefits and Coaching Application
Simplest structure for consistent buying tone. Volume, speed, articulation constant. Variability natural if knowing script. Punctuation dictates delivery.
Many spout undefined terms like "curiosity tone," "ambitious tone." You can only do certain things with voice: these changes ensure right delivery, letting words do their job. Duplicates process for consistent outcomes between reps and within rep's career.
For coaching: listen to recordings, use specific language:
- Not loud enough → "Speak louder" (not "more confidence").
- Too fast → "Speak slower cadence" (not "sound nervous").
- Annunciate fully: slows nervous fast-talkers, crucial in close (high emotions, adrenaline, cortisol).
Close needs most tone management: too loud/fast = aggressive; too slow = slow.
Closing Science and Pro Tips
Close has most pauses and one key question for max attention. In August book pitch (2+ hours), longest pause at purchase ask.
Research: three meta-analyses (one Columbia) show waiting up to 8 seconds after buy ask closes 30% more sales. Gives processing time. Don't fill space—let them talk (they believe themselves more). Selling = ask questions so they sell themselves.
Objection handling pro tip: salespeople who close most ask most times (balance without annoying). Overcomes just excuse to ask again. E.g., resolve issue, then "Would that work? Want to buy?"
Don't need cute scripts for every objection (time, spouse, expensive rare—say budget instead). Memorize seven universal closes. Example: Flip their reason—"I think that's the very reason you should do it."
- No time → Fact you don't have time means you need it more.
- No money → Fact you don't have money means you need it more (consumer: more invested; B2B: solves your problem, e.g., SEO/customers, pricing/packaging).
Problem they cite not buying = problem you solve by buying.
Never sell by being right (like winning argument—makes them hate you). Reframe and ask again.
Objection handling picks up only 20-30% of sales post-no. Vast majority pre-ask: pre-conversation influence > conversation. In conversation, mess up most in discovery (not intro, pitch, close).
Discovery Pro Tip: Pulling Teeth and Chunking
Discovery matches their problems to your solutions. Ask: What have you done so far? How long struggling?
If short answers: pulling teeth—"Can you give me an example?" Repeat with "Be more specific" / "example," alternating.
E.g., "Business not growing." → "Example?" → "Same as last year." → "Specifics different?" → "Nothing." → "Same leads as last year."
Once meaty: recap/chunk up: "You're not getting leads consistently. Is that right? Sounds like marketing issue. Fair? What else holding back growth?"
Cycle until 2-3 key points chunked to what you sell (e.g., marketing, packaging).
Transition: "Sounds like inconsistent leads (marketing), not enough profit/sale (pricing/packaging). If we solve, help grow? Yes. Can I tell you about our thing?"
Match: "For marketing—inconsistent leads, talk to our marketing director who did $106M book launch? Help your $1M business? Yes."
"Can't market without pricing for margins. Meet our expert (6 years, 2,000+ home services businesses)? Yes. Great fit. Ready?"
For quote pitch: three ways (this/this/this) resolve issues, then invite and shut up.
Not making money because wrong words or wrong way. Use tone guide: three constants (loud enough, right speed, annunciate); two variables (pauses, pitch).
The two things that will only be variable in your script will be when you pause and when you raise your voice. That's it. The rest is hullaloo and mythology. And this is what creates consistent sales.
My name's Auctioney. I'll be your all week. Is that cool? Was that fun? Was that as good for you as it was for me?
Gotta love tonality.
Squid Lord's business challenge: Business is producing revenue, but not cash flow positive. Cutting off two bad partners and taking a business loan just to pay the bills. Advice on what not to do from here?
I don't like taking business loans to pay bills. Fix the business. That's a very high-risk situation.
Content creators in social media workflows for service-based businesses: Make content that gets them leads. They pay you to do that. Or as the business owner, make content to get your own leads.
Charles Salum: How would you sell new mothers on high-end baby clothes?
Do you have shitty baby clothes? Does your baby look like it's homeless? Well, no more because my fancy baby clothes will make your baby look rich because everyone wants fancy baby clothes.
Check out Codory, a company with super luxury cloth cotton diapers rather than synthetics. Look at their marketing and see how they angle them.
It sounds simple when you explain sales, but you still mess it up because you're not practicing enough. Write the whole script out. Assuming the script works, if it has 500 words, read it 500 times. You struggle because you're thinking about what you're going to say next rather than what the prospect is saying.
Every pitch to sell the same prospect is the same pitch up until you explain what they're going to get. You don't sell the product, you sell the man in front of you. Like poker, you don't play your hand, you play the person.
If selling to somebody who's overweight, the entire front end is the same: introduce it the same way, set the agenda, then "Tell me what you've tried so far." They'll tell the same things they've tried and the same struggles. Only then transition by matching their problems to what you sell.
- If selling supplements: more nutrition-oriented, talk about deficiencies.
- If selling meal plans: nutrition oriented but different, more holistic.
- If exercise: because you don't have high enough metabolism, gain muscle long-term.
The front end is the same. That's where most people mess up the sale.
You never sell a pen. You ask a prospect what is going on in their lives and then if the pen matches their needs, you sell the pen and present the pen as the solution to the issue that they're not being respected because they're using a Bic rather than a Montblanc.
Alfredo on school communities for trades requiring hands-on: Launching school this month.
If building a community for tradesmen to learn trades: videos showing how to do it in real world, or host in-person events at your shop. If community for customers: connect homeowners around mutually valuable things like home services, or car owners for auto services.
In 2016, I had $1,000 to my name sleeping on a gym floor. Nine years later, broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest selling non-fiction book and generated over $106 million in sales in a weekend.
Fundamental principle: Either sell extremely expensive stuff to a select few or sell something super cheap to everyone. The middle is where people die.
Two winning positions: zero CAC (sell to everybody because it costs almost nothing to get customers) or sell to a select few with infinite LTV.
All businesses have cost of getting customers vs. what you make from them as the core economic arbitrage. A business efficiently allocates resources for superior throughput. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
Significantly easier when starting to sell extremely expensive to a select few. You need to make enough money to serve the masses.
Tesla case study: Started with $250,000 Roadster (select few, beta test car), got proof of concept and money to make Model S, then Model Y, then Model 3. Start high and work down.
Simplest way to create expensive offer: sell your time one-on-one, even if unscalable.
Started personal training business (gym in Huntington Beach, group and semi-private training). Client referred for specific mobility issues, did one-on-one. Five days a week, 90-minute sessions at $125/hour, ~$180/day, $45,000/month in cash. Came between sessions, gave cash flow to reinvest in business growth without pulling from business.
- Learn more from fewer high-value clients. Work with better people, shifts beliefs about the market. Selling cheap makes you assume everyone is broke. Then $15k hits: that's 350 $50 sales.
Everyone earns money per hour: take last year's earnings / 2,000 hours = hourly rate. Even investors like Warren Buffett: analysis, research, due diligence on thousands of deals. You live in time and earn in time.
-
More flexibility in delivery: change on the fly, quick iterations, beta test ideas without retraining staff or recoding.
-
Cap time spent: allocate time to everything else. When demand, cut supply (leverage and supply-demand curve key business concepts). Fixed small supply forces price raises.
-
100% margin: you make the money, nobody else. Every business can have five one-on-one clients (e.g., lawn care: you as account rep/designer for premium).
-
Anchors price for scalable versions: higher conversion on base due to anchor. Even for SaaS, sell the service.
Rat in cage with one lever: pulls or not. Add second lever (bad-looking, poison-covered): probability of hitting it >0. Introduce super expensive lever >0.
Fix price so it's worth your time (not "is it worth my time?").
Lifts entire brand: narrative "many can't afford one-on-one, so scalable format for everyone" increases perceived value via anchor, association, branding—even if no one buys the high ticket.
List price wherever you sell, or say it when offering. Confront the high price: "Would you like to work with me one-on-one? It's $10k an hour. That's the highest leverage to get you there." Shut up, let them talk (might say yes).
If they balk: "Don't worry, I'll pull out components for something with 90% elements but scalable."
Math: 100 customers, $100 vs $1,000 offer (10x). 90 buy $100 (40% margin = $40 profit each, $3,600 total). 10 buy $1,000 (100% margin = $10,000). Triples profit; 3/4 from expensive.
Even tiny volumes with zeros add up. Recommend: alongside scalable ($100/month school), have $1k/month or $10k one-time.
-
What if 10x or 100x: $100 offer → $1k or $10k. List everything you'd include. Cross out hard costs—many ideas are low-cost. Would you do for $10k?
-
Word-of-mouth only: No ads/outreach, one customer refers others. What experience/service makes them rave?
-
Scalable 10x value without unscalables: Take out unscalables from $1k offer but make worth 10x $100.
Working with private clients builds authority because people perceive you as having more authority. Sharing learnings from these private clients provides marketing material and the best case studies. These clients are cooler people you end up befriending, and spending more time with them shifts your worldview in the correct direction.
When creating valuable offerings, sell expensive things rather than time, though one-on-one time is valuable because it's easily understood with a hard cost everyone comprehends. People buy outcomes, not time. One-on-one is valuable because the perceived likelihood of achievement skyrockets in an unscalable format. For example, a PDF meal plan versus daily one-on-one for weight loss: the outcome is the same, but likelihood, ease, and support if stuck increase significantly. These factors interweave.
Speak in terms of what the person wants to sell more. Steps:
- Pick the right avatar: Don't upgrade your $100 customer to $1,000; the $1,000 buyer is different. Target someone with money, pain, and easy to reach.
- Describe their pain more accurately than they can. Hack: Extract reviews from top books in your niche for specific pain quotes. If you articulate their problem better than they can, they believe you can solve it (cognitive bias). Pain and persuasion exist in the specific, not vague. Their pain as a motivator can outperform promise.
Reputation acts as an implied guarantee; unscalable delivery implies completeness. If they believe you're competent and intend to help, likelihood they get results is high. Cap unscalable work: Use 5-10% of time, charge 10x more to cash flow growth and go aggressive.
Speed maximizes persuasion; latency beats magnitude. Social platforms addict via immediate reinforcement. Sell wealthy on time saved over money saved—target their calendar, not bank account. Cut delivery time in half or 2/3rds. For high-tier: Priority access, first in line, same-day response, 60-minute SLA, personal service. Charge for speed vectors.
Higher price means more done-for-you, turnkey. Reverse engineer ease: Map customer experience, note every action they take, systematically delete friction. This may cost more (hire tech, pay vendors more for priority), justifying higher price. In service businesses (70-80% in US), pay partners better to outcompete.
- Easier to sell fewer people.
- Cap supply to increase price.
- Learn more from few deep customers.
- Wealthier customers expand horizons.
- Service businesses progress upmarket: Charge more, attract better talent, repeat. Downmarket leads to middling death without automation/offshoring.
Top-down narrative: Private clients anchor brand; democratize learnings to sell mass product. 10x offer has >0% buy rate, reinforces pricing power. Charge more money.
Advice for 17-year-old (Jay Holden) wanting to start business: Join free groups on skol.com (or $9 community). Watch free videos/courses. Take action; make a bet. Avoid fallacy of the perfect pick: Analysis won't guarantee success; most paths succeed with work, all have suck. Subjective well-being 80% genetic. Change if you dislike it; build toward liking more of it. Scaling requires disliked tasks. All businesses start/end same: Own a money-making thing (e.g., chairman with executives). Start game/end game same, middles differ. Most start multiple businesses, learn, iterate. Expect terrible middle period.
Business always hard: Growing pains, shrinking pains, plateau pains—all suck. Frameworks help.
No matter the goal, you suffer to achieve it. Pick a goal big enough worth suffering for. Alex Hormozi: 14 years in business, broke world record fastest-selling non-fiction book ($105M in 72 hours). Distilled lessons.
Poor/rich, single/married, entrepreneurs/employees suffer. Business painful shrinking/plateauing/growing. Biggest alpha: Pick meaningful destinations to endure. > "A man who has a big enough why can bear almost any how." (Victor Frankl). How sucks; shades change (uncertainty, criticism). Uncertainty: Bets with unknown payoffs against survival instincts. Criticism inevitable (do nothing or anything). Embrace the cringe: Early efforts embarrassing, but worth it like toddler phase. Suffering fixed; arbitrage by picking big rewards. Don't trade life for Netflix/sleeping in.
Beat 99% by failing 20x, looking stupid, persisting. In 20 hours, achieve base competence in any skill (including money-making). First 20 sales hours teach more than videos/books via feedback. Learning = same condition, new behavior. Consuming without action = entertainment. Personal story: Read 14 self-help books in quarter, life unchanged—realized must act.
After reading 14 books in a row without results, vowed to fully implement the next book before reading another. Quit job and drove across the country, leading to major changes. This scales: you can change your entire bloodline the moment you realize what you do next always matters more than what you did last. Even after 14 books, the 15th book, video, or 500th video can supersede everything before it.
The past nine years feels entirely wasted to be honest. I was 23. This year I turned 32. No job, no wife, no kids, no generational wealth like I promised myself that it would all be worth it. I just fumbled my 20s chasing imaginary numbers on the internet. What the fuck
(Chimp's tweet). Over 50% of high school seniors believe they'll be millionaires by 25, showing delusion. Governments irresponsibly give $100,000-$200,000 loans to inexperienced people for degrees with no earning power.
In every realm, significant volume unlocks skills—varies by person, but everyone learns eventually. Assume you'll learn no matter genetics or upbringing: do unreasonable volume to make failure impossible. For Chimp: no wife? How many dates (10, 100, 500)? No dates? How many asked out (1, 5, 10/day)? Don't leave house? How often do you? All solved with volume. People underestimate repetitions needed to get good.
Early videos weren't natural; no achievements then. Extrapolate past success: good at one school subject → good at all; good grades → good at working out; in shape + good student → good at new job/AI system. Humans unique via transitive property: if A=B and B=C, then A=C. Generalizable skills—you've worked hard somewhere (video games, one course); apply it again for snowball effect.
I am inevitable. I may not get it the first time, but I will get it because I will either die or I will figure it out and I've got a lot of life left to live.
Under 30 with no responsibilities: work maximum hours/week—you'll never work this hard again. Compounding of a few years sets up decades. Shovel into early skill gap crescendo. If you love your life, you won. If dissatisfied with no responsibilities, use this time/energy now—you'll never have fewer responsibilities. Dig well before thirsty. With kids/wife: harder, but more experience for strategic effort (like late-career pro athletes: better technique, conserve energy). Every position has advantages: nothing to lose = unlimited lottery tickets, uncapped downside/upside.
Fear comes from having something to lose... nothing in this world belonged to you to begin with... push your chips back at the end... chips replenished daily with time.
Entrepreneurship greatest vehicle for development: confronts every avoided weakness. Market/customers/competitors don't let you hide. 10/10, you limit your business/growth. Grew more as entrepreneur than before—friends/family protect feelings; market gives truth. Humble yourself to market feedback: change content if no likes, products if no buys, pitch if no sales. Mom says "Great job"; market doesn't.
Optimizes to reality/truth over time.
Hard part isn't starting—it's continuing when excitement fades, grind/repetitions/volume without variety feels hopeless. Inability to work without reward hurts potential more than lack of talent.
The most dangerous person in the world is the one who continues to show up every day, even when the rewards are not guaranteed.
Potential = uncertainty tolerated × duration. Long-term thinking last alpha (Sam Altman/OpenAI): few do it. Think 1/5/10 years. Get out of hole fast (3 jobs, side hustle) for oxygen mask/options.
Sadness = perceived lack of options from arbitrary rules/absolutes (nevers: can't say to parents, leave friends/city). Really: unwilling to make trade. Always more options by tolerating former untolerables.
Someone points a gun in your face. What do you do? ... There's a hundred things that you can do... sadness comes from the perceived lack of options, not lack of options. (Harvey from Suits)
When sad: what trade unwilling to make? Fear in vague, not specific—play out specifics (disappoint parents? They'd block/talk less/no holidays → Friendsgiving OK; cost of dreams = no parent texts/specific foods). Fears melt in specific; break self-chains.
Underestimate effort to stick vs. shiny objects every 6 months. Price of good at everything = good at nothing. In business: too many services/products/SKUs kills (customers don't want everything). Simplicity/design/elegance removes friction.
Decisions = dicadere (Latin: cut off). Say no to everything else to compound. 100 days on one thing = amazed results. HF0 beats Y Combinator (tripled returns): 70% companies hit 2M ARR in 12 weeks. Model: founders in windowless basement rooms, all distractions removed (residence, handle everything). Uninterrupted flow/context on big problems = compounding value.
Get lucky by staying in game long enough. Can't beat who does whatever it takes for as long as it takes.
Only one belief to win: belief in your ability to figure it out. Start and you'll figure out the rest... sometimes you have to be the only one who believes in you.
Entrepreneurs rewarded for self-belief > others'. Most make less, but select few stick uncommon path long after sensible to stop, say no to imaginary opportunities, make trades others won't. Everything wanted = few trades away, but deeply embedded beliefs unseen.
We question all of our beliefs except for those that we truly believe and those we never think to question. (Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game—paraphrased)
Sadness from unquestioned beliefs distorting reality. Define terms/words to see clearly. Consistent winners make better trades/bets—model their behavior/decision weights. If no what you want: skill deficiency in seeing reality as is, not as wanted (distortion).
Zero debt goal: stop spending, start making money. Saving trades clear but emotional. Extreme: free living exists (government, parents, friends/family).
Government-provided housing options exist, or crash with a parent, friend, or friend's family. If unwilling to inconvenience others, recognize it as a trade you're unwilling to make for your goals. Frame all refusals as conscious trades. Ask: if debt-free in 12 weeks instead of two years, is it worth the uncomfortable conversation and temporary shame? A year and three quarters for a couple conversations of shame is a good trade. Ego keeps you poor and prevents getting what you want by living through others' eyes. It's imaginary and not real.
AI solves the same problems humans do. No one wants to buy AI; they want solutions it provides, like buying holes not drills. Sell the benefit of the experience after AI installation, without mentioning AI. Example pitch: "Are you having trouble getting back to all leads? Does your front desk miss bound calls with qualified customers, losing sales to competition? Roughly estimate monthly lost sales from slow responses and poor info capture." If they say "$5,000," offer to solve for $5,000 one-time. Clarify: if solved in 20 minutes with full benefits, is that okay? Train AI agent on existing call recordings to pick up calls, outperforming current staff. Sell the problem solved, not AI—it's jargon. Always pitch what's in it for me.
To surround yourself with more ambitious people: it becomes easy if you succeed. Ambition without action is just big dreams, which are common. Rare are those willing to suffer costs to make dreams reality. Size of action determines outcome, not dreams.
Benefits unique to physical manufacturing in the US: Labor costs and unions drove outsourcing. With robots, costs shift to materials and energy/power. Local machines avoid shipping and tariffs, making US manufacturing efficient for local businesses. Start with as few humans as possible using AI, robotics, automation—opportunities exist now.
For sales in software agency while full-time software engineer: both are full-time jobs; pick the one wanted long-term. Coding takes longer to learn than sales if taught well.
Should you sell your kidney? Depends on price, buyer, how many you have/need. If multiples and trillion dollars offered, maybe. If only one and selling means death, no—unless dollars fund a cause worth your life.
Tips for getting hired fresh out of business school:
- Apply business school knowledge to businesses willing to pay for it.
- Go on 500 interviews if needed; do deep research, send manual messages to multiple people, show up in person.
- Handwritten cards and physical boxes stand out in an automated world with personalized AI emails. High response rates for B2B; arbitrage exists.
For short-form marketing agency for blue-collar businesses (posting daily on Instagram/LinkedIn): Outreach via email and cold calls works for solopreneurs/tradesmen. Play percentages—call 10 and fail doesn't mean it doesn't work; do 1,000-10,000.
Monetizing art at 19 (hate job):
- Post on Instagram; if liked, people ask to buy.
- Create templates, run ads to sell multiples.
- Make art for influencers (e.g., glitter canvases with their face), tag them for shares/free impressions. Influencers often share good fan art; might buy it.
If nobody likes it, do things you don't like instead.
Pursue greatness without worrying about road not taken: You've had outcomes (e.g., waking up, dressing—monumental for depressed). Snowball: leverage small wins to next. Draw bar at biggest past achievement and build.
Scaling sales teams: No longer cut bottom 10%—culture now exceptional, weeds out fast naturally. Monthly leaderboards/prizes for 1st/2nd/3rd work; no six-week incentives needed.
White label SaaS (e.g., AI receptionist, reputation management for SMBs, exit at 4-5k clients): Already built, so not building it. Few buyers seen. Alternative: just make money—underrated. If you like business game, you'll work till death; no need for exit (got back in next day post-exit).
Enforce positive behaviors, deter negative: Change conditions/environment.
- Phone setup: social apps force 5-second breaths or impossible during work.
- No ice cream/cookies at home if dieting.
- Gym you like (pay $40 more if needed) nearby. Environment does most reinforcing. Surround with 3-4 ambitious guys for natural reinforcement.
Ultimate worth going for: Learning—same conditions, new behavior making you better/aligned with ideals.
Passion vs. being good: (Topic referenced but not detailed here.)
Creative coder in soul NFTs (passion, low trust), building web game: No perfect answer on push/pivot duration (Sam Altman: eternal question only you answer). Longer you push with iterations, more likely success—like throwing 100 bricks until building forms. People quit too soon without enough iterations.
