Speed is everything

JAMES HYPE
James Hype — Speed is everything
The more ideas I develop, the higher my chances of making something great.

Let's make two assumptions. One, you want to create great music. Two, you're not the most talented person in the world. Both of those are true for me.

I know every idea I develop has a chance of becoming great. But I also know my success rate is pretty low. I imagine most people are the same.

So it's pretty simple maths. The more ideas I develop, the higher my chances of making something great.

In my opinion, speed is everything.

What this actually means

your hit rate is fixed. only your volume is a variable. more shots = more wins.

What to do today

Reading about it doesn't make you better. These do.
