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.

Naval Ravikant on the importance of hiring high-agency people Naval defines agency as: “People who just solve problems without even being asked to solve the problem—they identify the problem, they go solve it, they don’t even necessarily have to update you every step of the way, they’re not asking silly questions, and they’re just coming up with solutions.” He believes this is important because “building a startup is an infinite set of problems that are being thrown at you.” And there comes a day where you can’t even look at every problem your company is facing—let alone solve every one of them. He cites the Vinod Khosla aphorism: "The team you build is the company you build, not the plan you make.” And your ability to solve problems is based entirely on how many problem-solvers you have at your company. As Naval puts it: “If you have somebody who takes 10% of your time and management to solve problems, you can only have 10 of those people working with you. But if somebody takes 5%, you can have 20 of those people.” When building Airchat and AngelList, he thought of each team as a Navy Seal team: “Everyone is just really good at what they do. They know their job. They do it. They don’t complain. They’re not egotistical about it. And if they have to constantly be corrected, led around by the nose, you have to clean up after them, or you question their judgement, it’s not going to work out.”

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)
