Im thinking about the opportunity that Focus offers early adopters ,being this early is going to count for something.
Im just reread Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers its a book that investigates why some people very successful. He makes the point that success is a mix of opportunity, timing, cultural legacy, and nailing down 10,000 hours of practice.
The "10,000-Hour Rule," proposes that a skill or expertise requires 10,000 hours of focused practice. Then you need to be in the right place at the right time that even then those 10,000 hours need to happen under the right conditions in order to be successful.
Where and when you are born counts for example, Bill Gates and Jobs where very well positioned as children to be able to adopt computer science and hardwre due to uniques access.Jobs grew up in Silocone valley and had access to hardware, Gates had access to a computer at school and at the local university in the late 60s and early 70s which were very rare occurences.
So although “rags-to-riches” and grit and hardwork are all part of sucess, success is rarely achieved alone or in a vacuum. Anyway this guy writes great books .

I think people assume that just showing up is good enough. And it is if you just want to earn some money. 80% of the way there.
The users who involve themselves with the ecosystem... That's the last 20% of the journey and that is where generational wealth is made.
Thanks for sharing! It’s always nice to receive a good book tip! 📖
