Shane Parish on positioning to make mistakes cheap

The people who get the most done don't agonize over decisions. It's not because they have better judgment. They've just structured their lives so being wrong isn't expensive.

When mistakes are cheap, you can move fast and fix what doesn't work. When mistakes are expensive, you overthink everything and still choose wrong.

This is why startups can run circles around big companies. It's not because they're smarter, but because being wrong isn't expensive.
