"Asymmetric opportunities:

Invest in startups
Start a company
Create a book, podcast, video
Create a (software) product
Go on many first dates
Go to a cocktail party
Read a Lindy book
Move to a big city
Buy Bitcoin
Tweet."

Leverage is achieving results significantly greater than the force you put in.

One of the most powerful forms of leverage hiding in plain sight is being constant.

Constantly ... reliable, trustworthy, kind, loyal, unselfish, ...

Intermittency undoes what consistency builds.

Sleep 7 hours every day.

Read 20 mins every day.

Exercise 30 mins every day.

Deep work 4 hours every day.

Do these for 6 months and watch what happens.

It’s easier to trust someone when (1) they are competent and (2) you can rely on them to follow through.

Turn this idea on yourself:

Two ways to improve your relationships and to gain the trust of others are to (1) improve your skillset and (2) be reliable.

5. Proven Business Model

Instead of trying to create the next tech unicorn start something that has already been done successfully.

It eliminates product-market fit risk and allows you to focus on execution.

Business success is 10% idea and 90% execution.
