The Gardening Mindset
Overview
A shift from the "Builder" mindset (rigid plans, top-down control) to a "Gardener" mindset (creating conditions for growth, ecosystem curation). Plant many cheap "seeds" and invest in the ones that show organic traction.
Core principle: Don't try to predict the winner. Look for signals of natural growth.
