you go to a restaurant.

gun to your head, can’t decide what to order.

manager gives you an option to try samples of your potential choices before you decide.

that’s Optionality

it’s the power of choice without the obligation to act.

a story:

Gayatri wants to set up a bakery

has a full time job, so no time.

starts selling bakery products on weekends.

can sample a different career without actually making the switch.

Optionality enables favourable outcomes with least risk.

Heads I win, Tails I don’t lose too much.

Weave into your life:

– acquire cross disciplinary skills that are transferable

– side hustle + full time employment

– prefer liquid investments

– test before committing

you get the drift.
