“I am thankful to have learned early on that the world is malleable.” -a Founder

That was said to me in a conversation with a founder of a very early-stage company who, given his current funding, has an almost unlimited runway. Someone bet big on him, and he’s betting big on himself. 

For those of you who are not in the technology space, an almost unlimited runway means that in this case, his business has the space to take years and years to hunker down and develop a product…before it needs to produce a single dime. His vision for the future is well funded because it is assumed he will create it—and, for what it’s worth, he believes he will too.

What you internally believe you have the capacity to do is reflected in the external things you take on.  

Who would even try for a big check without anything to show but a plan? Someone who knew what they were capable of. Great people tend to all have this in common. They believe they have the power to bend the world or create a new frontier in their area of operation…and they pull it off. They *consistently* pull it off—and there is something magical about the way they move ahead. Things just seem to happen for them.

I’m going to show you the (sometimes unpopular) underpinnings of those who believe the world is theirs to form—and give you the green light to start doing this more yourself.
