10 Concepts from Build Once, Sell Twice: (thread)
1/ Build once, sell twice.

Move from selling your time to storing your effort in digital assets that you can sell twice.
2/ Focus

The more frequently you interrupt the compound curve, the longer time-freedom will elude you.
3/ Iterate

Get going, then get good.
4/ Productize

Move from selling time to building systems that generate results repeatedly.
5/ Solve problems

Identify a need and develop a treatment
6/ Get your reps in

Building anything valuable and defensible takes time, effort and energy.
7/ Use tools for leverage

Build an ecosystem for attracting and retaining customers.
8/ Practice content leverage

Use media to stop doing things twice that can be done once.
9/ Build value ladders

Expand into every segment of your market.
10/ Keep going

What feels futile early is foundational later.

Why you need to be selfish: (thread)
I have had countless conversations with people looking for a way to build a brand/audience/community online.

Here's the one thing I think everyone asking that question should be thinking about.
You need to be selfish.

Why?

Because (at a high level) if it helps you, it will eventually help others.

At a tactical level, it's provides the motivation to keep going.

Make compounding content: (thread)
Inspired by a passage from The Psychology of Money by @morganhousel:

Imagine you’re a comedian with a Netflix special in 6 months time.

Don't sell time, sell experience: (thread)
1/ Skill building

Everyone starts somewhere, for most people this is learning on the job or an extra curricular pursuit.

Your time is worthless.
2/ Result generation

As you get more competent, your skill set becomes more and more marketable. You can generate a result independently of the infrastructure you learned in.

Your time is cheap.

Don’t depend on the people you care about: (thread)
Lots of people getting started reach out to explain that they're having a hard time getting their existing network to respond to their work.
This isn’t about quality of work, it’s purely about reframing something it seems a lot of people struggle with:

Just because people care about you, doesn’t mean they’ll care about your art, your business, your ideas, or your experiences in trying to build them.

The Almanack of Naval Ravikant: (thread)
I had the distinct pleasure of contributing to this masterpiece as an illustrator.

Thank you @EricJorgenson for having me involved, and @naval for the magnificent source material.
