Why the Fastest Path to Success Isn't a Straight Line
Here's a puzzle that should make us rethink everything we know about success: U.S. presidents are, on average, seven years *younger* than senators when they take office, despite the presidency being the higher position. Most presidents spent just seven years in elected office before reaching the White House, and five never held elected office at all. Meanwhile, senators and representatives spend decades climbing political ladders, yet rarely reach the top. What's happening here? The answer reveals a pattern that appears everywhere from Silicon Valley to Hollywood: the most successful people don't patiently climb ladders-they hack them. They're not rule-breakers but pattern-recognizers who understand that conventional paths often lead to conventional results. Think about Mormon college students playing "Bigger or Better"-starting with a toothpick and trading door-to-door until they've acquired stereos or bikes. Their success comes from recognizing when one path becomes inefficient and making lateral moves to more promising opportunities. This same pattern appears in companies that revolutionize industries: Nintendo began printing playing cards before transforming gaming, while Apple pivoted from computers to music and phones. Research confirms that startups willing to pivot raise 2.5 times more money and grow users 3.6 times faster than those stubbornly sticking to original plans. Understanding how innovators compress decades of progress into years isn't just fascinating-it's essential for anyone who refuses to wait their turn.
