Asymmetric Opportunities To Tilt Luck

Asymmetric Opportunities To Tilt Luck

I have been pondering this tweet thread on asymmetric opportunities for a few days now.

This is nothing other than tilting luck in your favor by doing things that have:
A) low potential risk
B) high potential reward

The 9 Examples:

  • Go on first dates
  • Invest in startups
  • Start a small company
  • Create media
  • Create software
  • Go to a party
  • Live in a big city
  • Tweet
  • Build in public

But the asymmetric payoff of investing in startups has particularly piqued my interest at this point in my life.

For many of these, I am either already doing, or are no longer an option…

I blog, I tweet, I have been going to publish a book forever now…

But my wife would be less than pleased if I started dating again. 🤣

And yes – I wish I had considered all of this when I was 18.

A concept I learned at 28 I wish I learned at 18.
