The competent operator will thrive while the passionate mechanic will struggle.
Operators are the people who keep their shit together when the going gets tough. They are good at seizing opportunities, decision making, problem solving, closing sales, managing other people, hiring, firing, training, and delegating. You know, all the hard, uncomfortable stuff. The stuff we’re talking about in this book.
If your goal is to grow a business, why not focus on learning to operate and be indifferent about what business idea you pursue?
The Sweaty Startup
Nick Huber
Asking myself the question, “When I’m old, how much would I be willing to pay to travel back in time and relive the moment that I’m experiencing right now?”
If that moment is something like rocking my six-month-old daughter to sleep while she hugs me, then the answer is anything: I’d literally pay all the money I’d have in the bank at, say, age 70 to get a chance to relive that moment. This simple question just puts things in perspective and makes you grateful for the experience you’re having right now versus being lost in thoughts about the past or the future.
