A visual representation of 10 Competitive Advantages that you can start developing today - by @SahilBloom
1. Intellectual Curiosity - For the curious mind, anything is possible.
2. Comfort with Discomfort
Discomfort leads to growth. It is an absolute necessity.
If you train yourself to accept and embrace discomfort, you will always have an edge.
3. Simplify Where Others Complicate
Complexity and jargon are often used to mask a lack of deep understanding. Learn to convey extremely complex ideas in simple, digestible ways.
4. High Tolerance for Failure
We fear failure, so most of us play it safe to avoid it.
But our greatest moments of growth often stem directly from our greatest failures.
Do not accept failure, but do not fear it either.
You will fail. Embrace it. Learn to fail smart and fast.
5. Low Time Preference
Life is a long game. Those with low time preference play it more effectively - they happily delay gratification to build real value.
6. Antifragility
Life is random and chaotic. Do not be broken by this chaos and disorder; rather, adopt a mentality that you will benefit from it.
7. Presence
With the rise of technology - and the instant access to millions of people and things that it has provided - the ability to be truly present has become a rarity. When you are with someone - whether a new business contact, friend, or partner - be WITH them.
8. Relentless Consistency
Many people are able to produce bursts of energy. Few people are able to produce consistent, steady flows of energy. The former might be flashy, but the latter is relentless.
9. Noise Cancellation
The world is a noisy place. We are constantly hammered by stimuli competing for our attention.
The ability to cancel out the noise - to truly focus on the task at hand - is both broadly applicable and extremely powerful.
10. Be Yourself
The most important competitive advantage. Always be yourself. No one can compete with you, at being you.
