The problem with this analysis is that if it&#8217;s easy, it&#8217;s often not worth doing. It&#8217;s easy to start a blog, but of course, starting a blog doesn&#8217;t really deliver a lot of value. Posting 4,100 blog posts in a row, though, isn&#8217;t easy. It&#8217;s do-able, clearly do-able, and might just be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Successful organizations seek out the do-able. When Amazon went after the big bookstore chains, analysts ridiculed them for doing something insanely difficult. But it was clearly do-able. Persistence and talent and a bit of luck, sure, but do-able.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes we seek out things that are actually impossible. Building a search engine that&#8217;s just like Google but better is impossible (if your goal is to dominate the market with it). It&#8217;s fun to do impossible projects because then you don&#8217;t have to worry about what happens if you succeed&#8230; you have a safety net, because you&#8217;re dreaming the impossible dream.<\/p>\n<p>Do-able, though, is within our reach.
