My First Million

The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.

Back to Beliefs

Accidents and random events drive more major life changes than conspiracy or planning

Evidence

Many huge historical events were accidents rather than coordinated efforts, COVID potentially being a lab accident rather than intentional release

Implication

Be prepared for random major disruptions rather than assuming everything is planned; maintain flexibility and adaptability

Counter Belief

Major events are usually the result of systemic forces and human planning, accidents are rare at scale

Example Application

Business planning that accounts for random disruptions and 'black swan' events rather than assuming linear progression
