Most companies drown in B+ solutions because they’re easier, but breakthroughs demand relentless obsession. Are you solving what matters or just what’s convenient?

How about solving 'A+'s at the same time, say, like Elon Musk?

Focusing people is tough. AI can handle repetitive tasks, freeing up time for real problem-solving.

It’s far too easy and common to spend whole days just on C-D problems. Basically just busy work. It’s sneaky because it often feels very productive.

Keith Rabois on the 3 most important lessons he learned from Peter Thiel “I’ve been working with Peter professionally for 23 years… The most important [lesson] in building a company is the importance of finding undiscovered talent… Back then we were competing with Yahoo and Microsoft for talent, but fundamentally you can’t compete on talent by going after the exact same people that companies with infinite profits will pay and overpay for. So Peter had a lesson that you basically had to hire people under 30 — and the point was not to be agist. Instead he realized that by the time you’re 30, everyone who runs a hiring algorithm should be able to roughly come to the same conclusions… It’s a little bit like sports where when you draft athletes for the NBA out of high school — there’s more alpha there than in signing a free agent who’s been playing in the league for 10 years.” The second most important lesson Keith learned from Peter was the value of time: “People systematically — in Peter’s words — undervalue their time.” You have to be extremely disciplined about where you’re allocating your time because it goes hand in hand with the third lesson, which is the value of focus: “Peter can be extreme when he has a view — he takes it all the way to the polar extreme. He had this mandate at PayPal about focus that every single person in the organization — when we had 300 people in the Bay Area — was allowed to do exactly one thing. And Peter would refuse to talk to you about any topic that was not that one thing, period… But fundamentally, the discipline of only being allowed to do one thing led to significant breakthroughs.” Keith explains: “What basically happens is there are really hard challenges at any startup and it’s easy to divert your attention to the problems you know how to solve. But those are not the breakthroughs or 10x ideas. And when Peter would say to me, ‘I need you to fix this and I literally won’t talk to you for the next month or two until you fix it,’ it would force me to bang my head against the wall every single day, and once in a while it would lead to a, ‘holy cow there’s an answer — we can do this.’ Now imagine that across an organization of 300 people — 5 or 10 ideas that probably wouldn’t have happened are a direct result of Peter’s managing philosophy.” Video source: Khosla Ventures (2023)

My brutally honest advice to someone who wants to make a lot of money. 3 things nobody told you: 1. The only way to make a lot of money is to create a lot of value. No one hands out money. No one is going to pay you just because they like you or think you're cool. Money earned is a direct byproduct of value created. The only way to get rich is to create an enormous amount of value for others, and capture a small portion of that along the way. You create value by doing three things: - Identify problems - Create solutions - Scale those solutions It's not talking about the thing, it's not brainstorming about the thing, it's not asking about the thing, it's not thinking about the thing. The only way to create value is by doing the thing. And if you don't know where to start, look around you. Customers, colleagues, bosses, shareholders, employees. Every single one of them has a problem. What problems can you solve for the people around you? Figure them out, solve them, scale that solution. That's how you make money. 2. You don't need passion, you need energy. I still have no idea what it means to follow your passion. You don't have to be passionate about your professional pursuits, you just need to find energy in them. You just need to feel a pull towards them. You just need to feel that spark of curiosity in them. Passion is usually a byproduct of energy. When you have energy for something, you'll give it your deep attention to learn more. You’ll ask the right questions. You’ll figure it out. You’ll win. Follow your energy. Pursue interesting puzzles. Solve them. 3. You have to demonstrate excellence in everything you do. Your income scales proportional to the amount of excellence that you're able to demonstrate. Strategic incompetence is a lie. You don't get to pick and choose when to show up, because the world will ignore your best and judge you for your worst. Everything matters. Every single thing. Top performers show up with energy and enthusiasm for the little things just as much as they do for the big things. If you're in the top-10% of performers, there's no ceiling for what you can do. But the self-awareness to identify where you currently stack up, and adapt to the honest feedback on it, is very rare. If you're in the top-10%, you know it. If you're not, figure out why and fix it.
