I drink cold coffee on a regular basis and it has yet to change my life.
We're so lucky to live in a world where a cold email & a coffee can totally change your life.

@Rebelbanker if you’re drinking coffee alone, you’re doing it wrong. -
I find it best with a little milk and a quiet sense of desperation.

do you not use any biases when deciding which meetings to take? not everyone lives in this world you speak of
-
Persistence and substance can kill just about any bias. The problem today is not access, it’s the inability to focus and execute.
-
IMHO it costs time and effort to be persistent. efficiently generating substance requires perspective & while it may be a talking point in VC zeitgeist, perspective is not a commodity. so why should those who are already marginalized by our biases have to work harder?

difficulty of access = lack of access

You're missing the point of this tweet. If you consistently publish interesting ideas, doors will open. Too many people are afraid to broadcast original ideas and/or send a cold email to make things happen. Listen to

Yup. It’s about having a system or habits in place that will yield non linear outcomes over time. You can’t know which meeting, tweet, blog post, cold email/tweet, etc will change the trajectory apriori.

why the original post bothers me is that it read to me as a perpetuation of the toxic myth that anyone can make it with hard work. my read
i think we’re making progress but generalization and premature celebration feels counterproductive -
Of course hard work isn’t sufficient to become successful. Whats a more liberating belief : believing persistence + high leverage choices increase chances of success or that not everyone who works hard becomes successful? We can talk about myths all day but that gets us nowhere.
