When Goethe said that what doesn’t kill him only made him stronger, he was suggesting thriving on tough times, what in the modern world is referred to antifragile.
Most people understand resilience as bouncing back from a tough situation. In his book, ‘Antifragile,’ Nassim Taleb defines antifragility as adding an extra layer to resilience. Not only do you bounce back from touch times, you actually get stronger.
The human body is a great example of anti-fragility. It responds well to pressure. Hence, the need to put your body through rigorous workout routines to make it stronger.
Apart from exercising your thrive muscles by inviting pressure, here are two more ways to ensure long-term business success:
Rely On Trial And Error More Than On Theories
You could reach literature on fitness for years but without actually testing these theories, it is advisable not to label yourself an expert. Experience counts a lot more than reading about a topic and claiming knowledge.
Avoid running your business on presentations, theories, excel sheets, and predictions. There is a danger of the whole system blowing up if too much emphasis is given to guesses (however educated they might be).
A better way to approach this principle is to test out portions of your strategy, whether in your business or your personal life.
Diversify Your Bets To Thrive
Diversifying, or balancing your risks (also referred to as the ‘barbell strategy’) removes the risk of blowing out completely if one of your ideas doesn’t work out. By hedging your bets carefully, you minimize the risk of heavy losses.
This way, even if you suffer a loss in one area, your other investments or ideas should bring you a benefit to cover the loss.
