wow, he had to convince people that "one day, people will have email."

The resistance is an attachment to an outcome you're afraid you wont obtain. Wanting to look competent or maybe obtain status, wanting to succeed immediately without struggle, things of that nature. We fear not getting that and looking stupid or wasting our time. Coming to terms with this and changing your expectations to "Even though this might not work, I'm going to fully go for it" and understanding that it's much more about iteration and batting average is how you stop having to fight it so hard. It's a sort of equanimity that enables you to do your best work.

3. **The Power of Regular Blogging**: He shares his personal practice of writing daily blog posts, not for perfection or monetary gain, but as a discipline to maintain consistency and forward momentum.

4. **Timing and Innovation in Business**: Seth touches on the importance of timing in business, debunking the myth that being first is always best. He gives examples of successful businesses that were not first in their field but made significant impacts.

5. **Entrepreneurship and Freelancing**: Differentiating between entrepreneurs and freelancers, Seth explains the distinct roles and approaches each takes in their work. He highlights the importance of understanding which role you're playing at any given time.
