Consistently not stupid

Words from billionaire investor Charlie Munger:

“…it is in the nature of things that many hard problems are best solved when they are addressed backward”

With that in mind, instead of asking:

  • How can I build a successful online business?

Apply the inversion principle and ask yourself:

  • What’s stopping me from building a successful online business?

You’ll probably find that the success you seek can largely be achieved by getting out of your own way.

Or, as Munger put it:

“It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.”
