How to Apply This
- Identify the “stupid idea” you’ve wanted to pursue.
- Write down the starter action you need to take to execute the idea successfully.
Your starter must be simple and achievable. It could be opening a savings account for a dream trip and depositing $1 as a starter step. It could also be buying a domain name of your “stupid” idea. Whatever it is, write it down. - Follow Gavin’s Law.
Gavin’s Law simply says: Live to start, start to live. This means acting on your ideas immediately, given that life is very uncertain.
