In the brilliant Knowledge Project podcast, Shane Parrish speaks to Tobias – founder and ceo of Shopify.
And in response to a question, Toby says, “if Shopify wins, no one loses!”
That is such a wonderful way to look at things, such a blesses position to be in and such a wonderful company to create.
As usual, my pensive mind took over and I wondered – who all will lose if I win, as an individual?
I realized there were some who might lose. Did I want them to? No. But they might.
And I then asked – what might I need to do differently that no one loses if I win.
I will encourage you to do the same. Ask yourself –
Which person
Which ideology
Which belief
Which value
Which opinion
Will lose, if you win?
And then if you care enough, ask further, what might I need to do, to ensure no one or nothing loses?
