Don’t tell yourself no before someone else can.
2. “Knowledge is (potential) power. Action makes it so.”

Applied knowledge is power.
It takes courage and energy to activate.

3. “Play long-term games. Compound returns.”

Focus on the long-term.

Most benefits come from later stages of compounding.
Pick up habits that you can see yourself sticking with.
@JeffBezos says to focus on what doesn’t change.
4. “Play asymmetric games. Life is not baseball. 1 hit can pay for 1000 runs.”

Some activities have asymmetric upside.

Play games with asymmetric upside.
5. “Ask for what you want. You can’t get what you don’t ask for.”

Leverage the API instead of building from scratch.
8. “Wealth is made in extreme concentration.”

Wealth is maintained through diversification but made in extreme concentration.

Focus.
9. “Price affects risk.”

If an experiment is cheap, just do it.

The more the price goes up, the more you should reconsider.
10. “Follow up.”

This can yield dividends.
11. “Live below your means for freedom and options.”

Establish a margin of safety to take more risks.

@JamesClear says that ‘Your success depends on the risks you take. Your survival depends on the risks you avoid.‘
12. “Don’t be desperate.”

Desperation often results in bad deals.
13. “Ship daily/weekly/monthly. Build your shipping muscle.”

Become comfortable exposing your art to an audience and embracing feedback.
