Welcome to Daily Insight,
My name is François and in this episode I will talk about the survivorship bias.
So get ready to expand your perspective and embrace positive change.
One of the most useful things you can do in your quest for success is to research people who have achieved the success that you want to achieve.
And then you find out why they did and create a list of the best practices.
This is a very good start because those people have walked the path before you.
But there is something that we need to take into consideration.
Have you ever wondered why success stories seem to be everywhere while failures often go unnoticed?
Let's talk about survivorship bias.
This is a very fascinating concept that's challenging our perception of achievement.
So when you look at a group of people who have achieved great success like famous entrepreneurs or athletes etc.
It's easy to think that if you follow their footsteps,
You'll be successful too.
The thing is we only focus on those who survived or succeeded and we ignore those who didn't make it.
We forget about the countless others who tried and failed.
So the survivorship bias makes us think that success is more common or easier to achieve than it actually is.
It's essential to remember that behind every success story there are numerous failures.
Timing and luck both play a big role in achieving success.
So let's remember that success is in a straight line.
It's a journey that involves failures,
Pivots and resilience.
You can embrace all the lessons from both successes and failures and let them guide you towards your own unique path.
So let's assume that you will have no luck in your quest to success.
And so to get there,
You're going to have to do what others were not willing to do.
Remember the stories of Michael Jordan,
Kobe Bryant or Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Those people did the work and they didn't take no for an answer.
So think about this.
If you had a filming crew filming you every day to document your journey towards success,
What would you do?
What would you not do?
What would you do differently?
