Obsession beats discipline - go all-in on your craft until you either die or get reborn.
Volume is Massively Underestimated
Everyone massively underestimates the volume it takes to become great. The average output is 1000 feet below what is necessary to just exist in competitive domains, let alone win.
Decision Rule
Whatever volume you think is required, multiply by 10. Think you need 10 posts to grow? You need 1000. Think you need 100 sales calls? You need 1000. Calibrate expectations to reality.
How It Works
Survivorship bias hides the volume behind visible success. People see the hit, not the 999 misses. Additionally, most people quit before reaching minimum viable volume, creating the illusion that their approach failed when it was simply incomplete.
Failure Modes
Volume without quality learning - making the same mistake 1000 times
Burnout from unsustainable volume without recovery
Using volume as excuse to avoid improving quality
Example Decision
“Content creator complains about lack of growth after 50 posts. Apply model: you have not started yet. Real test begins at 500 posts. Recalibrate timeline and expectations accordingly.”
