🚀 Speed First: The Foundation of Risk-Taking
Speed is the foundational element for effective risk-taking and decision-making under uncertainty. This principle comes from:
• Olympic training methods
• Military programs like West Point's reading speed training
The key insight: Speed must come before quality - similar to how athletes train at high intensity first, then refine technique.
🎯 Why speed matters:
- High-speed environments reveal every mistake and bad habit
- Slow situations allow errors to go unnoticed
- Most people go 'slow and meek' when uncertain instead of 'speed and bold'
The reality: This requires 95% field experience through repetition and practice - no amount of classroom learning can substitute for actually doing the work at speed.
