The Power of “Definite Optimism”

Peter Thiel’s Zero to One is a fantastic book. Every business person should read it. 

And in the chapter called “You Are Not a Lottery Ticket” he outlines a framework for understanding the actions of consumers, businesses and even nations. 

I’ll give you the 30,000 foot view…but this really applies to your financial future, so heads up.

Thiel believes there are 4 views of the future that you can hold…

1. Definite optimism. You believe that your actions impact the future and that the future will be good.
2. Definite pessimism. You believe that your actions impact the future and the future will be bad
3. Indefinite optimism. You believe that your actions do not impact the future but the future will be good.
4. Indefinite pessimism. You believe that your action do not impact the future and the future will be bad. 

Which of these describes you?

I would guess, that most people working a 9 to 5 job, fall into category 3. They are indefinite optimists. They believe that the future will be good, but they don’t really believe that what they do will have much of an impact on whether or not that future is good. 

So, they hedge their bets. 

They take the “safe” route. 

They take no risks. 

Why take risks if you have no control over the future? Just sit around, play it safe, and HOPE that the future is better….just because. 

And those folks will never make it running their own online business. 

The only people who are successful running their own online business are definite optimists. People who believe the future will be better and that their actions will contribute to building that better future. 

These people have vision. They have goals. They have big dreams. 

And they know if they take the right action, they’ll achieve them. They take risks. They dare.
