Just Do It

No. This is not some Nike Propaganda
Last night I saw a show - “The New Inventor” on the Australia Network channel, a channel that in the past I have only flipped through en route from “Star World” to “AXN”. One of the inventors being profiled on the show made a statement, one that I have heard in the past, but one so profound that it deserves its own blog post.
I paraphrase his statement below -
When you have an idea or a vision, it can have three possible outcomes -
- You give it all you’ve got and you suceed
- or, You give it all you’ve got and fail
- or, You ignore it and spend a lifetime wondering “What If?” !!!
The first outcome is the happy path. The second outcome involves a temporary downside accompanied by lessons that will serve you for a lifetime. The last outcome involves a lifetime of doubt.

What if you have no vision, think everyone else’s vision is stupid and are usually right?
I think VCs need to create the position of ‘Bastard-in-Residence’.
