one of the best advice

6:15 — "Knowing they're in there is half the battle" — FALSE.
It's a GI Joe fallacy. Haha, nice test for the audience.
Love your videos and prescribe them to clients. Two wishes 1 I earnestly wish you to change your spelling of Hemingway's first name! And the woman in the crowd scene wearing a green dress, in many of your videos, needs shoes, or feet, or a wheelchair. I worry about her…
excellent #亮人生
Sunk cost can be a dangerous thing if people aren't aware they're doing it. However, it can also be a very useful thing to help you motivate yourself and finish projects.
Is there anyone else out there who finds parts of this video confusing? I couldn't understand wtf he was getting at.
Whats the list?
I am my own worst enemy- but I have the power to be my own best friend and biggest cheerleader. Thank you for this info!
I've definitely fallen victim to the sunk cost fallacy. I worked nearly a year on a project and lost a lot of money, bought subscriptions for info, and just saw little progress. It was clear that I needed to move on. It was just hard to do so.
Many artists and film makers created creative work no matter how sunk cost. And their work was recognized later. They just followed their intuition to create it. So how to know when it s bias or intuition?
BEGONE THOUGHT!
That was an incorrect description of the "sunk costs fallacy"
thanks for the video!
Sunk cost is definitely something to watch out for. Knowing when to get out is important
Thanks for making me realize these biases within me..
That's Ernest Hemingway, not Earnest
I’ve definitely been subject to these biases in the past. Identifying your weaknesses and working on them is key to success!
Bunch of great advice here! Thanks !
Best channel for creatives

Learning about our biases os one of the best ways to get rid of them. 👍🏾
