This is really good: I love this paragraph:

Failure is inevitable. If you are pursuing a worthy mission, you will fail. You will get knocked down. Your models will break. Your assumptions will be proven wrong. The amateur takes this personally. They see failure as a judgment on their character. The professional sees failure as data.

I appreciate that, what did you take away from it or enjoy about it?

Main take away for me is to focus on learning about revenue systems. Looking forward to your essays about that.

Hey Phil thank you so much 😊

It was an X post that I expanded on and then layered some biographical detail throughout.

I know you know this is a fellow writer, but it feels really good too be recognized so thank you again!
