- Assume you’re always auditioning for a bigger role
- Give before you take
- Air your weirdness
- Host events
- A period of lostness is a part of it
i think some novel points (host events is good, i agree) but also the rest of this is fuzzy and unorganized. you can spend a lot of effort accumulating microlucks but not get anywhere and burn out completely and early.
my version: https://swyx.io/create-luck https://swyx.io/create-luck
basically classic advice is do more x talk more about what you do = surface area
can improve that by pursuing authentic curiosity as TFA suggests
but then i add in an element of strategic thinking - go to where luck is more likely to occur.
- dublinben 1y agoIf everyone is hosting events, who will attend them?
- kosmavision 1y agoPeople who haven't read the book I suppose.
- swyx 1y agoai, of course
- evrimoztamur 1y agoWe would still be cutting hair even if everybody was a hairdresser.
- alexthehurst 1y agoHow can this be true? If my parents and spouse and friends were all hairdressers, I definitely would never pay for a haircut.
- TideAd 1y agoThis would be a great problem to have. Most scenes don't have enough event hosts.
