RANDOM THOUGHTS
When studying ‘averages’ - ask for
sample size - ask for standard
deviation - to build a better
perspective.
Averages
When you study percentage based metrics like market shares -
add the lens of zoom-in and zoom-out - Eg.Crowded vs
Unobvious markets - Understand the absolute values when
percentage is given as description.
Percentages
Use correlation along with
Probability:
When you correlate - try to assign a probability to the
correlation.
Access the probability of independent events then try to
estimate the outcome - this can be applied to both sales funnels
as well as networked outcomes.
“Probability” of mutually
independent events.
Everything is interconnected - a lot of
opportunity is in the Inter-connectedness.
Embrace the interconnectedness of systems - second and third order effects create possibilities
that create unique perspectives that happen because of such interconnectedness.
Linearity
Intuition can be lenier - train your intuition to
think exponentially. Beware of linearity -
most probably there is no such thing!
Progress is not linear - don’t get disappointed when things are slow in the
initial stages, as you are trying to get many things about your foundation
right. Sometimes things will happen quickly in the beginning - don’t be
surprised if things slow down later - It's often because of the details - we
fail to see the details which become important later in the process.
Progress also is not linear
What is the risk?
Risk is minimising downside and maximising the mean geometric
outcome. We basically can’t predict outcomes. So the best we can do is
to maximise the geometric mean value of possible outcomes while
minimising the variability of outcomes.
Risk shouldn’t be only
understood in-terms of (“loss”
vs “reward”) - It's much more
than that.
Risk
Tail Risk is a chance of loss occurring due to a rare event
(Known/Unknown) - be prepared to handle tail risks - sudden things
happen and you have to be ready to face them.
Tail Risk
Risk management is all about thinking of downside and
stopping those downsides from happening as the outcomes are
path dependent and let the compounding happen only when
there is no interruption
Plan to never stop compounding
something of value
Avoid ruin (Kelly's criterion)
Don’t bet everything on one big gamble. Be
careful how much you bet each time so you
stay out of ruin.
Thanks!
