The Story Behind Do Not Be Dumb
I used to work in eSports. Some success was great, but in the end I failed more spectacularly. It took me 2 years and a lot of reflection to understand why the Start-ups I worked with and the one I founded failed.
My breakthrough got ignited by a stupid idea of mine:
Let’s check what the most successful people in the world (based on the Forbes List) have in common. Copy those traits and habits. They clearly know their shit.
They all read.
I got hit in the face by that. At that time I was an outgoing personality with an “I can conquer anything with my sheer IQ” mentality.
I haven’t read a single book since 9th grade and here I stood – 22 years old and not as smart as I wished to be.
Luckily I soon found “Poor Charlie’s Almanack”, my favorite book, that changed my life trajectory.
One of the basic lessons was: You don’t need to be smarter than everybody else, you just need to avoid the dumb mistakes.
For me that meant doing research. I started collecting the learnings and mistakes of many people.
In hindsight, I realized how dumb I was and most likely am today, when I look back the last years.
And now here it is!
You guessed it!
This is my collection of: do not be dumb mistakes, experiments, learnings, readings and stories.
