Listen to Nassim Taleb on success. If you want maximize your chance at success, you need to do something non-scalable. The number of successful barbers is astounding, the number of successful tech startup founders is vanishing, and half of the founders have given away much of their equity before even making money.
Focus on your mental health. Life is hard. Treat the people you care about well because they're really what you have in life.

- scoofy 4y agoIt means you can only sell the product on a case-by-case basis, and it does not scale. Author: scalable. One book can be sold to 1 person or 1,000,000 with little extra work. Barber: non-scalable. One haircut can be sold to 1 person, but not 2 people without doubling the amount of work.
