Do hard things, Do your thing, Do it for decades, and Write your story.
Graham Weaver, a professional investor and lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business , discusses the power of asymmetry, which he has applied to his life and career. He encourages people to do hard things, do their thing, do it for decades, and write their story, in order to live an asymmetric life.
Weaver also highlights the significance of mentorship and the power of longevity in achieving success.
Recognize the power of mentorship
Finding a mentor or someone who believes in and supports one’s aspirations is key.
These individuals can see beyond a lack of a track record and invest in potential, providing crucial support during the initial stages of a career or venture.
Cultivate a growth mindset
Continuous learning and growth are vital for living an asymmetric life.
The more one learns, the more opportunities for asymmetrical outcomes they create.
Always being curious, open-minded, and willing to learn from experiences is crucial.
Understand the power of longevity
Committing to something for a decade or longer is a powerful factor in achieving success.
