Day 426 - Not failing > succeeding - https://golifelog.com/posts/not-failing-greater-succeeding-1646185918619
I’m feeling stuck bootstrapping my SaaS. The success I seek isn’t quite panning out.
But reading Daniel Vassallo’s thread made me realise perhaps going for success is the wrong approach. Simply not failing is better.
It’s more about removing chances in order to avoid my worst case scenario, than increasing chances to achieve my best case scenario. At least when starting out.
Prevent downsides first. The upsides will come once you got the downsides managed.
Survive, then thrive.
I want to see what happens when I try launching low cost, effort-capped small bets even if they weren’t the most enjoyable things.

Not failing > succeeding
Survive > thrive
