You only have to be right once
You only have to be right once
It’s a low hit rate over your career, but you only have to be right once… So just keep trying, just keep iterating… a lot of it is market timing and you learn a lot of lessons.
I will fail many times, and I will be really right once’ is the entrepreneurs’ way. You have to give yourself a lot of chances to get lucky. - Naval Ravikant
One thing about this advice is that it takes deliberate effort to act on.
There’s no room for playing it small, you have to truly want it and keep showing up, again and again.
When I first came across the quote on X, I paused and asked myself — how many times or in what way have you tried to be right once,
I couldn’t give a solid answer because I had no track record, no intentional actions, which is in some ways, just another form of playing it small.
So ask yourself, how many times or in what way have you tried to be right?
I believe no matter how insignificant, boring, not important, important or however you choose to label whatever you do or put out there,
if you approach it with deliberate effort to make it count as one of your attempts to be right.
It would really make a huge difference in what you choose to spend your time on and also increase the chances of your success.
