“No amount of observations can allow the inference that all swans
are white.
But the observation of a single black swan is
sufficient to refute that conclusion.”
-‐ David Hume

Rare events exist precisely because they are
unexpected."

IGNORE THE BIAS AT YOUR PERIL
• Over-‐optimism leads through not seeing failure

• Belief in some special traits of survivors
CAUSATION vs.
CORRELATION

WE’RE SUCCESSFUL SO FAR BECAUSE….
15
..we own the music rights
..we own the TV stations
..our drivers are licensed
..we own the real estate
..we’ve got banking licenses

IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT RANDOMNESS
• Partner, learn and share
• #fail fast
• Don’t believe your own success story
