Quantity Is the Most Straightforward Path to Quality
“Do it enough times that it would be unreasonable for you to suck.”
A few months ago, I came across this tweet by Alex Hormozi:
When I read that sentence, something in my mind just clicked.
It’s true. You often hear people ask, quantity vs quality, which one’s better?
But maybe they’re asking the wrong question.
It’s a useless debate if you ask me. Both quantity and quality can be better depending on the context. There’s no clear-cut answer.
What’s more, it’s a false dichotomy. Quantity and quality aren’t opposites, they’re a pair. They go hand in hand. They build upon each other.
In fact, I’d even say quantity is the most straightforward path to quality.
One example I keep going back to is my own writing. I remember writing my first article — it was utter rubbish. But I kept on writing like there’s no tomorrow, ‘til I reach 100 articles, and I went on. Now I’m nearing 200.
