Life-changing advice from Naval Ravikanth, re-worded by me for my own understanding :)
1. Understand that ethical value creation
is possible
2. Own equity
in a business
(you’re not going to get rich renting out your time)
3. Use the internet to broaden your career
4. When picking a business partner: Choose someone with high intelligence, high energy and above all,
integrity
5. Don’t partner with cynics
and pessimists
(their beliefs are self-fulfilling)
6. Learn to sell + learn to build
7. On Specific Knowledge:
- Taught through
apprenticeship
, not in schools.
- Specific knowledge is highly
technical
orcreative
- it cannot be outsourced or automated.
- Found by pursuing your genuine
curiosity
andpassion
(not by following what’s trendy now)
