Tim Ferriss Quote
We agreed I was going to make judgment calls on a range of issues on his behalf without checking with him. He told me, ‘In order to move fast, I expect you’ll make some foot faults. I’m okay with an error rate of 10 to 20%—times when I would have made a different decision in a given situation—if it means you can move fast.’ I felt empowered to make decisions with this ratio in mind, and it was incredibly liberating. TF: Foot faults is a metaphor here. Foot fault literally refers to a penalty in tennis when you serve with improper foot placement, often due to rushing.
