Hey, Stephen here.
I recently heard something fascinating from Naval Ravikan. He explained it’s not about grinding through 10,000 hours of practice; it's about going through 10,000 iterations.
It finally clicked for me: even 10,000 hours won’t matter if you’re repeating the wrong formula. Simply put, it’s “garbage in, garbage out.”
This changed how I view things. Finding the right formula is the game-changer — not just putting in the hours.
Here’s the hard truth: repetition feels safe, but iteration requires courage. A growth mindset. Mental toughness.
Most people stick with repetition because it’s comforting. But without iterative change, they end up with … the same results, no matter how much effort they pour in.
What do you think?
How do you embrace iteration over repetition?
