“If you need to be proven right, learning is a challenge. If you’re eager to be proven wrong, learning is delightful.” -Seth Godin
“Strong opinions. Weakly held.” -Marc Andreessen
Yes, you absolutely need the vision, the belief, the conviction, to start your passion project.
But you also need to be open-minded to new information you learn along the way. That way you can tweak, iterate, or full pivot if need be.
Just like a great entrepreneur, scientist, or documentary filmmaker does…start with a thesis, but then allow the real story to unfold. Capture the truth of the events and be delighted to be proven wrong.
