Professionally I consider myself an entrepreneur, but in life, I'm much more a Maker of Mistakes. This is something that has become so entrenched in the way I live my life and the lessons I've learnt (from my mistakes) have empowered some incredible victories and successes.
My problem is that I have too many ideas at present, which means the gap between any one of those ideas and actually executing on them is growing.
I'm sure if some of society's greatest inventors waited for data or validation, many inventions would never have seen the light of day.
I know what makes me happy and I mostly know how to optimize for that happens too. Part of that optimization is not to fall into the Joneses' trap.
I kinda like risks. Not in a way that you'll find me sky-diving or bungee jumping, but in a way where I enjoy finding ways to work around them.
