How to maximize your luck surface area

Every morning when you wake up, think about how can you optimize the surface area of favorable probabilities in your favor to get to the goal that you have? And part of this is not thinking about the worst case scenario. Always imagine the best case. When I was joining Airbnb, the last day that I resigned, my boss said to me, you're making the biggest mistake of your life by leaving Facebook and Instagram to go to this company that sells spare bedrooms. That was what Airbnb was at that time. And again, not to fault them, nobody thought Airbnb could be big, right? But when you're making those kinds of decisions, don't come up with an Excel spreadsheet that has two rows. Instead, act, behave, operate as if you're gonna have the best outcome possible. Not the worst outcome possible, but the best outcome possible. An outcome that is beyond your wildest imagination. And act, behave, operate every single day as if that's happening. Don't prepare for failure, prepare for success. And you will see how you operate, how you show up at work. What you do is very, very different. So that's life advice, not product management advice.
