🎯 Zero-Zero: Saying What You Really Think

LIP #236
May 15, 2025

Ever held back from saying what you really think? That's called under-personalizing, and it blocks great ideas.

Zero-Zero means sharing your real thoughts with:

  • Zero hesitation
  • Zero calculation

Common overthinking traps to watch out for:

  • 'What if I'm wrong?'
  • 'What will people think of me?'
  • 'I should have said something different.'

How to practice Zero-Zero:

  1. Rate yourself 1-10 on how open you are in different situations
  2. Push yourself just one step further each time
  3. Share ideas early as a thesis - not a final answer

You don't need a perfect idea to speak up. Start with 'Here's my early thought...' and let the conversation grow from there.
