"Volume negates luck." — Alex Hormozi
The more attempts that you make directly equates to your mathematical probability of success.
The higher your volume input, the more you minimize the role of chance, and accelerate your learning through repetition.
If you have a 10% chance of succeeding at a task, making 10 attempts gives you roughly a 65% chance of succeeding at least once, while making 20 attempts pushes your odds to 87%.
The more shots that you take, the higher chance you have of making it.
Let us think of the Greeks, The Romans, The Macedonians:
Great conquerers, Rulers of nations, master tacticians, Military genius.
How did they get there? It was not by accident.
They fought many battles and wars. They learned from their mistakes and the mistakes of others. They took chances. Their volume input was extremely high. They did not settle for mediocre. They wanted it all and went and got it.

We remember Alexander the Great today because he built one of the largest empires in the ancient world and for his unprecedented and undefeated military record. In just 13 years, his empire stretched from Greece to Egypt and as far as northwestern India.
After conquering all, “when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.”
The people we remember thousands of years later have many things in common but one was input volume. They mastered what they did because they failed more times than their competitors tried.
Spartan warriors were not feared for nothing. They were fierce warriors.
"The Agoge: Starting at age 7, Spartan boys entered a brutal, state-mandated educational and training system designed to strip away individuality and forge absolute obedience, physical endurance, and combat mastery."
Their input volume happened everyday from the age of 7. They trained without fail, without days off, without any distractions.
Their volume was higher than that of their foes and that is why they won so many battles.
