In business school, there is a framework around being a rockstar couple.

You have the rock: steady, predictable cashflow, and you have the star: high variability, but high possibility for making a lot of money.

In the entrepreneurship world we call it the Visionary and the Implementer.

But rocks and stars extend beyond business and entrepreneurship.

If you’re a rock, you won’t want to be a star, not really.

If you’re a star, you won’t be able to play the rock role for very wrong.

The real insight: accept whichever one you are.

Then, launch (your career, your relationships, your legacy) with that in mind.
