Warren Buffett: “It takes 3 qualities to do well…[reasonable] intelligence, energy, & integrity… You may not be able to throw a football 60 yards, run the 100 in 9.8, [or] sink 3-pointers, but you can choose where you stand on the integrity scale. That is a choice you make.”

The best advice on how to be successful I’ve heard: On Nick Saban’s radio show, a young athlete asked him a bold question. What advice would the Alabama football coach give him – a basketball player – to improve in his sport? Saban’s response is gold: “I think for any athlete, it's the same thing. What's your goal? What's your aspiration? What do you want to accomplish? That's the first thing. “Second thing is to define what it takes to do it. What does it entail for you to be the kind of basketball player that you want to be? “Then you got to make the decision. Are you willing to do that? Are you willing to go work every day and do the things you need to do and take 500 shots a day like Kobe Bryant did so that you can be the kind of player that you want to be? “And then do you have enough discipline to make yourself do it every day? Whether you feel like it or not. “You got to choose to get up. You got to choose to study. You got to choose to go make the shots. You got to choose to work out. People that can do that, they can reach their full potential. “If you choose to make that kind of commitment to it, you can do the same thing, but it's not going to just come to you. It's not going to come easy. “And you're going to have to overcome a lot of adversity to be able to persevere and sustain it to get where you want to go.” – It’s a beautiful response for sports, business and life. Replace the young basketball player with yourself – investor, business owner, manager, teacher, whatever – and the same framework applies. Some key takeaways: 1. Everything begins with a vision. What do you want to achieve? 2. Vision alone isn’t enough. You need a detailed plan of how to achieve it. 3. Commitment separates those who dream from those who do. Most people aren’t willing to do what it takes. 4. Daily execution is the hardest (and most valuable) part. 5. Feelings are irrelevant. You can do what needs to be done despite how you feel. 6. One day of effort is overrated. Daily effort is underrated. 7. Improvement is a lifelong process. Embrace it, cherish it, commit to it. ||| Hope this is helpful.

Naval Ravikant’s checklist for starting a company “The most important thing is there are no formulas. At the end of the day, you have to do what you love, and you have to do it even though people tell you it’ll never work. But that being said, if there was a formula [for starting a company], I would put it something like this.” Naval started seven companies before AngelList and this is the checklist he recommends running through before starting a startup: 1. Pick a great cofounder. This is most important: “You can do a company on your own, but it’s like you can raise a child on your own, but you probably shouldn’t. You need someone who’s going to be there with you.” This has it’s own checklist. Your cofounder should be: a. Very high intelligence (”hopefully they make you feel dumb, or they’re not smart enough”) b. Very high energy (”They should be extremely hardworking. A founder is someone who never has to be motivated. You should not have to be telling them to do their job.”) c. Very high integrity. (”a smart, hardworking crook who’s going to cheat you is the worst kind of person to be paired up with.”) 2. Pick a very large market. “Notice I don’t talk about the idea. I think ideas are almost irrelevant… The more important thing is that you pick a large space that you’re knowledgeable and passionate about. And then you will figure out what the right thing to do within that space is.” You want to be able to say to investors: “This is a space where there’s a huge market. I’m really knowledgeable and passionate about it. Here’s the great person that I have doing it with me. And here’s the minimum viable product that we have built. That will show that we can test in the marketplace… You iterate until you get to product/market fit… And then you go and you raise money from people you trust. And you use that money to scale.”

Warren Buffett on the Benjamin Franklin thought exercise anyone can use to be successful Warren Buffett offers the following advice to the students at the Terry College of Business: “Pretend I’ve made you a great offer: You can pick any one of your classmates and you get 10% of their earnings for the rest of their lives. What goes through your mind in determining who you would pick?” He continues: “You probably wouldn’t pick the person who gets the highest grades in the class. There’s nothing wrong with getting the highest grades, but that’s not going to be the quality that sets apart a big winner from the rest of the pack… I think you’ll find that it gets down to a bunch of qualities that, interestingly enough, are self-made… It’s integrity, it’s honesty, it’s generosity, it’s being willing to do more than your share.” Then he asks the class to pick a classmate to sell short: “Who do you think is going to do the worst in the class? It isn’t the person with the lowest grades, or anything of the sort. It’s the person who just doesn’t shape up in the character department.” When Berkshire Hathaway hires people, they look for three things: 1. Intelligence 2. Initiative or Energy 3. Integrity Buffett explains: “If they don’t have the latter, the first two will kill you. If you’re going to hire somebody without integrity, you want them lazy and dumb. You don’t want them smart and energetic.” Importantly, he points out that these are habit patterns: “The person who always claims credit for things they didn’t do, cuts corners, and who you can’t count on — in the end, those are habit patterns. And the time to form the right habits is when you’re your age… Someone once said that the chains of habit are too light to be felt until they’re too heavy to be broken. And I see that all the time.” Buffett concludes: “When you write down the habits of that person you’d like to buy 10% of, look at that list and ask yourself, ‘Is there anything on that list that I couldn’t do?’ And the answer is that there won’t be. And when you look at the person you sell short and you look at the qualities you don’t like — if you see any of those in yourself (egotism, selfishness), you can get rid of that. That is not ordained.” This is an exercise that Benjamin Franklin did, as well as Warren Buffett’s old boss: “Ben Graham looked around and said, ‘Who do I admire?’ He wanted to be admired himself, and he asked why he admired these other people. Then he said, ‘If I admire them for these reasons, maybe other people will admire me if I behave in a similar manner.’ And he decided what kind of a person he wanted to be.” Video source: UGA (2001)
