Why Timing Beats Intelligence

Intelligence helps explain decisions.

​

Timing determines outcomes.

​

Two people can make identical choices and experience opposite results depending on sequence.

​

Timing governs liquidity, leverage, opportunity, and pressure. It decides when mistakes can be absorbed and when they become fatal.

​

Most failures are not caused by poor reasoning. They’re caused by being early, late, or forced.

​

Intelligence does not protect against sequence risk.

​

It often increases confidence at exactly the wrong moment.
