You should not grind at a lot of hard work until you figure out what you should be working on.

Seek wealth, not money or status.

You will get rich by giving society what it wants but does not yet know how to get. At scale.

Pick an industry where you can play long-term games with long-term people.

Pick business partners with high intelligence, energy, and, above all, integrity.

Arm yourself with specific knowledge, accountability, and leverage.

When specific knowledge is taught, it’s through apprenticeships, not schools.

Fortunes require leverage. Business leverage comes from capital, people, and products with no marginal cost of replication (code and media).

To raise money, apply your specific knowledge with accountability and show resulting good judgment.

Become the best in the world at what you do. Keep redefining what you do until this is true.
